Disgraced, one-term, twice-impeached former President Donald Trump personally admitted on video footage that he did not, in fact, win the 2020 presidential election against Joe Biden — seemingly serving as the only even somewhat official election concession Trump has given since he lost in November and proceeded to challenge, delegitimize, and attempt to overthrow the results ever since.
The verbal concession came from Trump during a recorded interview with a panel of historians that was put together by Princeton professor Julian Zelizer and published and reported on by The Atlantic.
“I didn’t win the election,” the scandal-ridden ex-president said in the video footage during the interview with historians.
Zelizer, the author of the scholarly book, The Presidency of Donald Trump: A First Historical Assessment, said that Trump himself reached out to the panel of professional historians with the hopes that they would pen “an accurate book” about him, amid a sea of tell-alls from journalists, former officials, and ex-Trump insiders, pretty much all of which have been less than flattering of the former president.

Speaking to the group of historians, Trump said, “I’m looking at the list, it’s a tremendous group of people, and I think rather than being critical I’d like to have you hear me out, which is what we’re doing now, and I appreciate it.”
According to Zelizer, Donald’s staff provided the panel of historians with a variety of documents that portrayed the 45th president as “a conventional president with a moderate record.” However, just shortly following the interview, Trump released one of his trademarked unhinged statements, in which he swore that he would give no more interviews for books regarding his time in office.
“It seems to me that meeting with authors of the ridiculous number of books being written about my very successful administration, or me, is a total waste of time,” Trump’s July 2021 statement read. “These writers are often bad people who write whatever comes to their mind or fits their agenda. It has nothing to do with facts or reality.”
This newfound concession from Donald Trump, in which he personally admits that he was not the winner of the 2020 presidential election, could certainly potentially serve as evidence for investigators and prosecutors in the various probes and investigations into Trump and his peoples’ ongoing, unhinged efforts to overthrow those election results — especially with specific regard as to whether or not Donald Trump committed criminal conspiracy through his actions by knowing breaking the law and attempting to overthrow an election he knew full and well he rightfully lost.
