Donald Trump has finally agreed to an "orderly transition" of power but still says he "totally" disagrees with the election outcome.

Trump has continually rejected the legitimacy of President-Elect Joe Biden's victory in the wake of the 2020 US elections after the Democrat candidate was projected by multiple media outlets to become the 46th President of the United States.

Trump has made repeated unverified claims of voter fraud on the part of the Democrat party, baselessly alleging that Republican votes in several states were either lost, unaccounted for, or intentionally destroyed.

After a mob of pro-Trump protestors stormed the Capitol building and interrupted Congress on the afternoon of Wednesday, January 6, the incumbent President has now publicly acknowledged that he will leave office on January 20.

Per CNN, in an official statement regarding the certification of Biden's victory after Congress had resumed, Trump said:

"Even though I totally disagree with the outcome of the election, and the facts bear me out, nevertheless there will be an orderly transition on January 20th.

"I have always said we would continue our fight to ensure that only legal votes were counted. While this represents the end of the greatest first term in presidential history, it's only the beginning of our fight to Make America Great Again."

Per The New York Times, Trump addressed his supporters in a video statement which he shared with his 88 million Twitter followers.

Although Trump told his rioting supporters to "go home," the incumbent still insisted that the election had been "stolen", ending with the words: "I love you." As a result, Facebook removed that video, and Trump has been temporarily blocked from Facebook and Twitter.

Meanwhile, Joe Biden took to his own Twitter account to address the chaos and condemn Trump for appearing to incite a coup.

Biden wrote: "Today is a reminder, a painful one, that democracy is fragile. To preserve it requires people of good will, leaders with the courage to stand up, who are devoted not to pursuit of power and personal interest at any cost, but to the common good."
