(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.

Thanks for gaslighting freerepublic.
Not surprised to see Acosta’s name on the byline. I guess he is having a lot of trouble separating his fantasies from reality, these days. :)
CNN... thus most likely totally fake. But if not, President Trump hopefully realizes that they crazy dems will persecute him and the rest of us. No matter how nuts it sounds, when they say they are compiling “lists” and planning retribution. Believe them. If they do go forward, of course we will fight back and they will get a civil war that they seem to desire.
Can’t wait to watch the CNN talking heads explode when Trump prevails.
The only thing that Donald Trump is dejected about is that there are so many idiots in America . . . it makes him feel bad for them.
I pray every night Trump is victorious in proving fraud and is declared the winner. To see look on the faces of these scumrats at CNN would be priceless not to mention these other rats like AOC and Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Compost threatening Trump supporters with lists.....
Look at this.......

Stick your list crap up your effin ass b**tch.
Lying treasonous bastards.
LOL, more manure from the fake news corrupt media. They don't report, they create fake narratives.
It is a “baseless” claim by cnn that they are a “news” organization. Seditious traitors to truth!
I think you mean “Psy Cops”.
Communist Network for Nitwits.
What “baseless fight”?
Sounds like another false premise from the thousands they come out with monthly.
“Baseless fight” is just CNN’s OPINION.
NOT FACT.
I cannot believe how stupid their news commentary is and how gullible their viewers are.
acosta needed 2 other snakes to help him write this tripe.....what a weasel
I would be dejected, too.
The fraud is blatantly obvious. The need to investigate, likewise.
But he not only opposed by the Democrats and Enemedia, but by members of his own party, and, to some degree, by the indifference of the American people.
He can give up and go home to a life of luxury or he can fight on and carry the whole thing himself.
It is a good thing for America that Trump is such a fighter.
CNN ... carrying water for the Left.
Not cops; But opps. Some sleep would be beneficial.
Fake News.
Wait ‘til it’s a penny stock. Then we can do a hostile takeover.
Strong tweets from the President this morning. “Dejected”? I don’t think so.
Kaitlin “Democrat Party Whore” Collins has been foaming at the mouth like a rabid female dog about Trump for 4 years or more...
