Just throwing this out there because I know that if Trump doesn't come out with confetti cannons and marching 500 people across the screen in handcuffs then half the board is going to be filled with "Whaaaa game over man, game over!"...

It's entirely possible that this speech will look like a concession. It's entirely possible he may mention the "Biden administration". It's entirely possible that he may say that he's leaving and never coming back, blah blah blah.

Before people get all doom-y about that, just remember that optics are everything and that the crux of this whole thing centers around the military, not just Trump. So if he comes out and says he's leaving, make sure to listen to his words. Get into a neutral headspace as best as possible in the next few minutes. Don't lead with your emotions, lead with your critical thinking.

Have I just had too much hopium? Sure, maybe. But with everything that we've seen going on today, there is zero reason why you should watch this and come away with the thought that everything is screwed. If Biden is inaugurated tomorrow and everyone's singing Kumbayah on the stage and everything goes as they're saying, then sure. That's the time when we know things are messed up. But it's not that time and it's not that day. So watch with a neutral mind, listen and observe. If you don't think you can handle it right now, watch it later. Take a moment to pray beforehand for our country and for your peace of mind if you're so inclined. But above all else, be calm.
