In my opinion, President Trump sounds like he's speaking under duress. This video feels like a hostage video to me.

The video was posted on Twitter? I thought Twitter was the first to ban the President from their platform? Now all of a sudden they are the first to rescind their ban, for the sake of this video??? Twitter decided to unban the President for this one video? Twitter would have to know in advance what the President's video would be before they could unban him.

0:00 I would like to begin by

This video starts with "I would like to begin by" with zero context to begin what from. What is he beginning? As if it should already be clear for the listener what this topic will be. This is the first statement in over 24 hours! No one knows what this topic will be, so why are we being presumed to know it?

After introductions and condemning yesterday's events, he says, "America is and must always be a nation of law and order." These words describe the America of the present and demands of the future. Notice no mention of the past on how it was founded from enlightenment ideas of natural rights. Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -???? ???????? ??? ???? ?? ?????????? ??????? ??????????? ?? ????? ????, ?? ?? ??? ????? ?? ??? ?????? ?? ????? ?? ?? ??????? ??, ??? ?? ????????? ??? ??????????, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness."

Donald Trump has fought against a "rigged system!" for 4 years. Just yesterday half of his 90 minute rally about criminals hijacking the country whom are now assuming power was about listing evidence after the evidence to support this fact. And now all of a sudden Twitter makes an exception to his internet banishment to say the opposite? A man that says an election was fraudulent does not believe in a nation of law and order. That's appears to me to be a statement under duress.

0:52 We must get on with the business of America

Sounds like something Trump would say about stock markets, not about a country that he believes has been stolen.

1:02 My only goal was to ensure the integrity of the vote. In so doing I was fighting to Defend American Democracy.

Trump's speech uses the qualifier My only goal as if before an apology. So only 24 hours after the President was screaming for transparent democracy, he is apologizing for defending it? Sorry, that's just not the mind of Donald John Trump. Further, perhaps most significantly of all. the President states Defend American Democracy, he does so with dramatically escalating emphasis on these 3 words than any other words in the entire video.

1:11 I continue to strongly believe that we must reform our "election laws"

Trump "talks with his hands" and uses a sarcastic tone for the only time in the video when he says,""election laws"". Trump can't desire "election law reform" if only yesterday he believed we have been cheated by a rigged system. He knows the law is meaningless because it's ignored. He knows how stupid that statement is.

1:28 A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th.

Whether under duress or not, this is Donald John Trump conceding both as President and as one man. He's gone as far as one man can go. Whatever has happened over the last 24 hours, Donald John Trump has surrendered.

The biggest question and my greatest fear is why? And maybe more importantly how?
