Just a day ago, he called on his cultists to join him in marching onto the Capitol, and disrupt Congress from certifying the election. His rabid followers did exactly what he wanted.

So why has he done a complete 180 and conceding that the election to Biden?

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 presidents 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. 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, Trump said, though multiple news organizations reported that Vice President Mike Pence, who was presiding over the certification as the siege unfolded, made the call to mobilize the National Guard.

The demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American democracy, Trump continued. To those who engage in the acts of violence and destruction, you do not represent our country. And to those who broke the law, you will pay.
