Two months after the 2020 presidential election, less than a day after Congress certified the Electoral College results, and facing increasing pressure to resign, Donald Trump finally admitted on Thursday that he had lost and would not serve a second term.
“Now Congress has certified the results. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th,” Trump said in a two-minute video posted to his Twitter feed. “My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power.”
He did not mention the name of the man who defeated him, President-elect Joe Biden. There has been no indication from the White House that Trump has, or intends to, call Biden to concede. But the president’s remarks were a stark contrast to statements he made on Wednesday, when he encouraged tens of thousands of his followers to head to the U.S. Capitol to disrupt the joint session of Congress in which lawmakers were voting on certifying the Electoral College returns. Trump had sought to block that certification, and a mob of more than 1,000 of his supporters clashed with police, broke windows and stormed into the Capitol, halting the proceedings for hours. Four people died during the melee.
Trump began his latest video by addressing what he called the “heinous attacks” on the Capitol.

They were criminal.
Please go play golf.
You owe America nothing.
Thank you, sir.
What? Over? Did you say ‘over’? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!...
It ain’t over now, ‘cause when the goin’ gets tough, the tough get goin’. Who’s with me? Let’s go! Come on!...
She conceded that he had won the election.
I found this.
TRUMP JUST TOLD US WHAT TO EXPECT!
Who attacked? This was a routine protest. It’s happened many times before in history. What about the traitors who declared war on us yesterday? That was a heinous attack on our freedom, and they also killed a patriot.
“I immediately deployed the National Guard”
This is contrary to what the media told us. He’s saying they lied, he deployed the NG which is in accordance with what we would expect and again reveals the lies of MSM.
“The infiltrators have defiled the seat of Democracy”
Seats are commonly used as a term to describe a Congress person’s actual spot in the Congress.
“To those who broke the law, you will pay”
The acceptance of Biden was totally unconstitutional, not to mention it finished on Jan 7th, which is passed the constitutional due date.
“My campaign vigorously pursued every LEGAL avenue”
In other words, I tried to do this the right way. I tried to use the courts. I am no longer capable of this, and will now overstep the courts.
“I was fighting to defend Democracy”
What he as about to do may be considered undemocratic as it was when Lincoln said enacted insurrection, but Lincoln also said although he knew it may be somewhat unconstitutional, it had to be done.
“A new administration will be inaugurated on Jan 20th”
Again no mention of Biden, anywhere. Not one. Why wouldn’t he say ‘I will be transitioning power to Biden’ if he were actually to quit.
“Smooth Orderly and Seamless transition of power”
SOS transition of power.
“A renewed emphasis on the civic values of PATRIOTISM and FAITH”
These are the values that we already hold, and he tells us to have faith.
“Serving as your President HAS been the greatest honour of my lifetime”
Not was, but has. And will continue to be.
“TO ALL MY WONDERFUL SUPPORTERS, I KNOW YOU ARE DISAPPOINTED BUT I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT OUR INCREDIBLE JOURNEY IS ONLY JUST BEGINNING”.
Speaks for itself. Sting operation is live.
“However, this must be God’s will because it is happening.”
It might be God’s will that 75 million people rise up and toss the bum out too.
That’s not a concession; just an observation. After all, Madame Chuck-A-Rama in Georgia didn’t concede, either, but Kemp still was seated.
(And yes, I know that as a matter of practicality, that doesn’t really make a difference. We’re screwed.)
You’ll be breaking rocks into things that the guards can do arts and crafts with.
Exactly. Go after the GOP in primaries. They don’t have left wing crooks counting their votes.
Wicked good. :)
Well that’s.... creative.
I see the stolen election as justification for civil war. If we cannot vote then lets rumble!
He did not lose.
Interesting, my FRiend, thanks.
And, do you happen to have a source for this?

They were criminal.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
As criminal as it would be to break into a neighbors house to rescue a kidnapped child.
I agree, but I believe that we are a minority of two. I will never surrender to the bastards, I will never kiss their asses. I will never try to get along with them.
As President, he has a whole LOTT'A mojo in his kit bag.
THAT'S why they're pushing the 25th amendment insanity.
For what ?
Two weeks in FB jail ?
That said, this video sure seems like deep fake.
As criminal as breaking out a window and damaging another’s property.
