Trump has just conceded. on 00:26 - Jan 8 by Guthrum
I suspect he's been very heavily leant on.
Assuming it's not just a Deep State fake (impersonator) put up by fascist Antifa and the communist Democrats.
I suspect leant on to the extent that The 25th Amendment is hovering over his head. That his cabinet has voted to remove him if he steps off the line and Pence is on board. He is literally President in Name Only now.

Also most of the senior Republicans and their backers. Plus perhaps the legal authorities, too.

I immediately deployed the National Guard..........................what utter BS !!!
But every word he utters will be believed by his supporters. His sway on the ignorant and deluded is the big problem still facing us, not his conceding defeat. His persona is comparable to the crooked Christian Evangelical rallies so beloved by a percentage of gullible white Americans over the years.

#Brainwashing. Brings to mind 1930s Germany updated to 21stC & what happens when TV "personalities" have "charisma", show support for sectors of their society not previously much listened to, & thereby develop cult followings.
It demonstrates that he has been forced to step back and accept the realities of his losing the election. He has been forced (by threat of removal no doubt) to toe a line, reel it in and stfu.
The damage to his "brand" is significant imho and hopefully ends any hope he had of standing again for president. And it weakens his role in the Republican party going forward.

This is actually very good news imho.

That has to be a welcome development :-)
This is why he has fallen into line. He has some pardoning to do, which he can’t if not in office obviously

Now we need to safeguard democracy from fascism.
Don’t let the lessons learnt from Hitler’s failed coup almost 100 years ago be forgotten.
If you compare and contrast that speech, with his speech on the podium, and then his (subsequently) banned twitter video on the day.... that new scripted video, is just one BIG FAT lie.... he started and incited these people to storm the capitol, he continued to praise them and call them patriots as they did it, expressing an 'understanding' of their shared grievance.
It is mind boggling, he just lies CONSTANTLY, and has done for 4 years and all his life. I have ranted about it because you knew it has cause real consequences. At it effects the UK and our direction - Farage should have no place in UK life, Tory leadership need to look at their position on this fool, versus their European cousins.
But there was a brilliant piece from a Harvard academic yesterday - the whole Trump campaign and presidency is built on a lie: - that he was competent (see Covid), - that he cared for the American people and put them first, - that he was pro-Black when he was promoting racism, - that there was ever anything called fake news, - that the democrats are radical communists, - and that he was fit for office
That lie has been extended, magnified, with a huge lie that there is electoral fraud of any level that could effect the election result - its a whopper. These lies are amplified and validated by social media - which is rabid and unchecked.
Unless the Republican Party, Fox News, the 70million voters, the hardcore 20-40million MAGA devotees wake up in part to that LIE, understand and come to terms with how they embraced it, then America remains damaged.
And for all those who say, "oh its just Trump", "we all know he's like that", "its just stupid Americans". "why worry so much about Trump" - how far away from the lie are we in UK PLC?
