I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol.
Like all Americans I am outraged by the violence, lawlessness and mayhem.
I immediately deployed the national guard and federal law enforcement to secure the building and expel the intruders.
America is and must always be a nation of law and order.
The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy.
To those who engaged in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country, and to those who broke the law, you will pay.
We have just been through an intense election, and emotions are high, but now tempers must be cooled, and calm restored.
We must get on with the business of America.
My campaign vigorously pursued every legal avenue to contest the election results.
My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote.
In so doing I was fighting to defend American democracy.
I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our election laws to verify the identity and eligibility of all voters, and to ensure faith and confidence in all future elections.
Now congress has certified the results.
A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th.
My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth and orderly and seamless transition of power.
This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.
2020 has been a challenging time for our people.
A menacing pandemic has upended the lives of our citizens, isolated millions in their homes, damaged our economy, and claimed countless lives.
Defeating this pandemic and rebuilding the greatest economy on earth will require all of us working together.
It will require a renewed emphasis on the civic values of patriotism, faith, charity, community and family.
We must revitalize the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family.
To the citizens of our country, serving as your president has been the honor of my lifetime, and to all of my wonderful supporters, I know you are disappointed, but I also want you to know that our incredible journey is only just beginning.
Thank you, God Bless you, and God Bless America.
Transcriber's comment: Read carefully. This reads more like a statement of the situation than a concession speech, and has multiple audiences: Those who know the truth, those who spread the truth, those who spread falsehoods, and those who do not know a single thing about the truth.
Every person in the audience listens to what they think they are listening to more than what their ears actually hear. That includes the MSM, who will gleefully jump at the opportunity to say that Trump has conceded, where he has not actually said that in this statement. That includes us, too, who can't begin to comprehend what exactly is going down and which words hold double meaning.
Did we really go through all of the past several years of fighting for The Donald just to think that Trump, who wants to Win, threw in the towel?
Remember, we know only part of the truth and we were just shown a good chunk of it by Trump. We may be disappointed, but it ain't over yet.

THIS.
Until is hear the words "CONCEDE" and "PRESIDENT BIDEN" come out of Trump's mouth, i refuse to believe that he's quit.
I suspect he's trying keep everything cool in DC while he's setting up Insurrection Act.
Agreed. Has Trump conceded? No. THEN NEITHER HAVE I.
Why nanci pushing impeachment and 25th amendment if he conceded ?
Because she knows the IA is still on the table
Not until I see that Biden crime family desecrating the white house in pictures will I believe Trump has actually conceded.
Imagine Hunter smoking crack in the Lincoln Bedroom
I don't want to.
Me either Pede, me either.
I really hope you’re right but it’s hard to stay hopeful after two months of nothing
They spent two months uncovering massive amounts of voter fraud. I wouldn’t say “nothing” has happened v
The Presidential flag is showing the Eagle with the ARROWS in one of it's talons!
No olive branch showing.
That's ALL I need to see.
I don’t think the President would give a concession speech without thanking his family
How does it work?
So, you don't have an answer.
Well put, Pede.
thank you. I am banned from Twitter so this helped a lot.
You can still view posts.
Thank you for transcribing this. I have a different understanding of the speech after reading it.
Same here. I realised that one of the best ways to grasp the situation was to write it down, because human memory and comprehension isn't always reliable. When I wrote it down I realised that his speech was structured not in paragraphs but in separated sentences, and then from there I realised that what I thought I was listening to was different to what was actually being said.
No healing for me
Fuck everyone who thinks this is right and just
This reads as him saying he is going to give Biden the presidency and then fight from a non-governmental position.
Tbh, you can read this speech from any direction and get what you want.
Way too ambiguous, intentionally. Buckle up it’s going to be a rocky couple weeks.
Yes that is the point of the post!
As Pieczenik said, watch for Trump's actions not his words. So far he continues to deny Biden's transition team access to the White House. Instead of celebrating, the left really is freaking out especially after that unauthorized tour of the capitol by patriots.
Cryptic I say.
I don't think it's over.Flynn in his interview was adamant Trump will be the next pres.Trump tweeted the best is yet to come.We've been told it's like a movie.I expect more twists and just as the hero is about to die......what happens????
When he’s stricken down, he becomes more powerful than you could ever imagine
If tou watch the video very closely you can see its a fake. Look at his collar and his neck.
I'm not good at recognizing fakes, what exactly is wrong with it?
here:
https://i.maga.host/bEZgXKt.gif
https://i.maga.host/3Aggtru.gif
these are screen grabs in different positions on the timeline. EXACT same face.
Could be a body double. Trump always rests his hands on the side of the podium.
not this video.
Also, his body movement isn't quite right.
me either but if you look close you can see it. . we are dealing with silicon valley. look at his movements and his collar and neck line
Watching it at 25% speed, his hair seems to expand and contract and his face doesn't seem to go with what his head is doing. Also, compare how he looks in today's video with his he looked in yesterday's video from the rose garden. He looks younger, plumper, and his hair is darker today.
I know the possibility of it being a deepfake, but I don't think it is given the precise language that he uses. If it were a deepfake, the people making it (assuming it were the swamp) would have used the opportunity to outright declare Biden as victor.
No, I'm more inclined to believe it was filmed with a green screen by Trump and his team in a secure location not in DC, with extra attention to eliminating green-screen artifacts.
EDIT: I'm now inclined to believe that it was a deep fake, produced by Trump's team and released via the Twitter Media Studio.
only time will tell
I agree. I was wrong about Pence so I can be wrong about how this video was produced.
Same for his other video. Its was like it was recorded in spring when we didn't need to wear a coat outside and was bright instead of grey.
If what was said above this about stiff being wrong around his neck and face, could that be impacted by a green screen?
I got that creepy feeling watching it, the uncanny valley is real, and this video is fake as fuck.
The hair on my neck went up, can't deny your senses.
Either it's fake or there is a hidden message. It cannot be both.
So DeVos resigned because of his "rhetoric."
She's been absolutely worthless. A big ZERO. Has done NOTHING about the communist indoctrination of the kiddos.
Lindsey said it was a legitimate vote. Mitch said it was a legitimate vote.
Trump was betrayed, and now he will be destroyed from the inside.
Ideas are the only things that endure.
Lindsey Graham can’t even decide if he likes pussy or cock
Attack was voter fraud.
BLM, Antifa, blatant disregard for election laws.
True statement, notice he doesn't call the intruders violent.
Democrats and RINOs have infiltrated the capitol via lies and voter fraud, and are defiling the sanctity of the position by spreading lies and protecting fraud.
Did the Trump supporters engage in violence and destruction? He isn't talking about us. He is talking about Antifa, BLM, and the destructive acts that destroyed the integrity of the election.
Etc.
I think this is what he intends for us to think, to continue to maintain our support. Although, I think the true intention of this speech is to save face by distancing himself from the criticisms of what happened on 1/6. I am asking myself why he would need to do that. There is definitely some double meaning there, and I use the same strategy when I post on social media to get people on both sides to understand.
I really don't know what to expect after this. I hope he declassifies files, but I mostly hope he can somehow out the traitors and there really is a bunch of evidence that is about to be released. I've held on with hope until tonight, and now I am starting to cast doubt. Again, I think it's so unusual he would distance himself from 1/6 and then avoid specifically and directly conceding to Biden. Especially during a time when the majority of congress turns against its constituents.
"I would like to begin by addressing the heinous attack on the United States Capitol."
There was definitely a heinous attack on the United States Capitol by the people working in it's chambers.
Yeah this is lawyer speak. Reminds me of the scene in law abiding citizen when gerard butler fake confesses to murder and tricks Jamie Foxx into thinking it's over when it's really just getting started.
This video was a deepfake. Look at the neck-collar intersection
Note that he never once mentioned Biden. What exactly happens to the transition of power, if Biden is in a Ukrainian jail for corruption for example.
I agree. We must listen to The President very carefully. He has no trouble being specific. His message had very different meanings, depending on the audience. Thank you for your hard work.
I agree with the sentiments of the notes, and I couldn't have put it better myself. Thank you for taking the time to comment.
You're welcome fren!
Why is Twitter suddenly allowing this...? I thought GEOTUS was permabanned. But suddenly the tech overlords have allowed his account because he's uploaded his "concession" video? Seems fishy
Sorry, and I plan to be downvoted for this, but I think he’s decided that it’s time to give up for the sake of his family. As someone who loves him, I don’t blame him. I’ll always be grateful.
I hope I’m wrong! Biden’s inauguration would be a dark day for our country.
Weird he didn’t thank his family in his own concession speech if that’s the case, don’t you think?
We have to stop this kind of post. No giving the media a reason to say this is a dog whistle. We all know what the next years will bring and what we need to do to keep the America we love. We need to take it from here and let Trump take a break for once in 4 years
Do you really mean to stop the kind of post that lays out exactly what is being said by the President himself, and then to suppress my opinion about how I see it?
You must be new to these parts.
Wtf is this? Why does it have a Trump Tweet banner. Knock it off.
It's a transcript of a video he tweeted.
Larp fag BS.
You dont belong here. This is a high energy trump rally. If you think its over go to reddit.
Better a Hopefag than a Doomfag. Truth does not lend itself to despair.
let them... us be
(i seriously can't decide if I am still on hopium or full doom - I think I am addicted to the roller coaster)
just sit this out for 2 weeks, come back when it's over.
And we fucking care what you think because? If you have accepted ChiCom Biden as your lord and savior, that is your business. A lot of us still haven't.
Give me one logical and rational reason why keeping hope alive is bad.
If you dont larp with them then you are mean and not "high energy" >:(
These fucking lunatics should be banned or go post on the conspiracy sandbox.
