Daily Beast: “On Monday evening, CNN reported that Trump had recorded a goodbye video, with exact time of publication unclear. According to the cable news outlet, the president doesn’t concede in the video that Biden defeated him fair and square, in yet another instance of Trump perpetuating the gigantic lie that he’s convinced millions to believe or entertain. But with his other public appearances scaled back recently and his personal @realDonaldTrump Twitter account having been taken away from him – permanently, Twitter says – he was left this weekend without his preferred methods for dumping his frustrations and his pet anxieties on the American public. There were no farewell rallies, and the boastful media tour – to highlight his administration’s ‘accomplishments’ that he had discussed with aides and had started plotting shortly after the deadly riot at the U.S. Capitol – never happened largely due to advisers’ concerns that he could make matters even worse by doing so.”
