Last night, Donald Trump read a speech from a teleprompter. After condemning the violence of the last day, he acknowledged the certification of the 2020 election. “My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly, and seamless transition of power,” he said.
Too late. Maybe delivering a real-estate project or paying off an angry creditor a few weeks late can be rewritten as “seamless.” But governing is different. After two months, five dead souls at the Capitol, a national disgrace broadcast around the world, and a significant portion of his remaining administration resigning, Donald Trump’s concession and promise of civic comity came too late.
