In new video, Donald Trump condemns the rioters at the U.S. Capitol: "You do not represent our country.”
Only a day before he said about these same people: “We love you; you’re very special.”
(Not linking to his new tweet.)
In the video, Trump says he’s now turning to the “smooth orderly and seamless transition of power.” But he still refuses to congratulate Joe Biden or even recognize him as the President-Elect.
Related: Trump’s Twitter access has been restored.

He also said, "Trump and I, we had a hell of a journey."
