Key point here:
Several Republican members of Congress have said Trump conceded. He did not. He has confirmed (without mentioning Biden) that a new government will take over on January 20th. Yet he repeated the lie that he had won the election. It is not a concession.

I didn’t see this coming because he hasn’t been putting much emphasis on truth lately. Or ever.
