Theory: he's signaling that it will be a transition to a new administration, but it won't be him and it won't be Biden. The military will roll up the bad guys beforehand, including Biden, but Trump knows that he is too toxic now, and it would not be accepted by half the country after such a military action. Thus a White Hat with clean hands and pre-existing credibility on both sides will be inaugurated.

Not sure who that might be. And its just a wild-ass theory.
