'I've seen the president be presidential before…but something is very different now,' said the former acting White House chief of staff.

Mulvaney claimed that Trump's contributions to the riots, as well as his failure to diffuse the situation or assume any responsibility for its occurrence, indicated that"something is very different now." He purportedly drew comparisons to the sitting president's approach to leadership during Mulvaney's term in the White House, which ended eight months ago.

"What I do know, Chris, is there are things that are different," he told Wallace."I wrote a piece in thesix weeks ago saying that I thought the president would leave in a presidential manner. I really did believe that at the time. The stories that I told to back that up were true." "I've seen the president be presidential before, and I now that he has the ability to do it. He did it every single day," Mulvaney said."I don't know what's different...I think the president, either he's different, the people around him are different or both, but something is very different now than we saw when I worked there more than eight months ago."

On Sunday Mick Mulvaney, former acting White House chief of staff, faced questions from Fox News host Chris Wallace over his November op-ed suggesting President Donald Trump would"concede gracefully." Above, Mulvaney attends a White House meeting on December 19, 2019.

Trump and his campaign had already begun to publicize baseless claims of voter fraud,"rigged" election procedures and Democratic schemes preventing him from securing a second term in office when Mulvaney's op-ed was published. The president's fairly forthright remarks during the first debate against Biden in September foreshadowed his intent to resist a concession if he believed the outcome was"manipulated.
