Dejected Trump continues to waffle over waging baseless election fight

(CNN)How much longer President Donald Trump continues waging battle over an election he lost remained in question Thursday as more of his advisers voiced doubt his gambit to contest the results would succeed. One person who spoke to him called him "dejected" over the ordeal.

Trump himself was waffling by the hour and day between a pugilistic desire to keep fighting and a more resigned attitude that his efforts will ultimately fail, people who spoke to him said.

None said they believed a full-blown concession was imminent, or likely to ever materialize. Some people close to the situation pointed to November 20 -- the certification deadline in Georgia, where a hand recount has been ordered -- as a potential end-date. Others said the unpredictable President could chose to pull the plug sooner.

But surveyed by CNN, nearly everyone close to Trump said they believed it was only a matter of time before he finds some way to acknowledge he will not be president come January 20 -- and said he was likely to pin blame on his baseless claims of a rigged election.

Just in the last day, Trump's informal campaign adviser, a religious ally, a Republican governor and conservative media personalities have all come out to say the election was won by Biden and that Trump should begin moving on. Inside the White House, the current period has taken on the feeling of interregnum, as staffers feel obliged to continue their work and even celebrate Trump's perceived victory while the President largely discontinues his own official tasks.

Is this drivel actually pretending to be a “news” piece?

Oh yes, the fake news from yesterday about one of Trump’s biggest evangelical supporters telling him to concede.

Hey CNN, call Al Gore. He’s an expert at disputing elections.

Double no words. As normal people are working in the fields and factories making a good life and a good world, the wondering minstrels have invaded the town center and taken over.

WOW. I did hear on ABC local news this morning that POTUS continues to make allegations about voter fraud, but “legal experts claim thee is no evidence.”

I pray we can prevail, and have 4 more years to try to chip away at the evil of the left or at least contain its growth.

These people at CNN are going to go full ballistic insurrection if Trump starts winning court cases that have consequences (something I'm not holding my breath for but 🤞 )

Only CNN would call Donald J. Trump “dejected”. President Trump has never known a moment of “dejection” in his life. He only knows “winning” or “a learning experience”.

The learning experiences are the springboard for his next great winning.

Never mind the broken glass shards on the way to the designated goal.

A- I have no reason whatsoever to believe anything CNN says
B- You should NEVER be discouraged about doing the right thing by the American people.

Sounds like CNN is believing their own fake news now . . . As my friend Bugs Bunny would say, “What Maroons!”
