President Donald Trump is furious at Vice President Mike Pence and other top White House officials who are not joining his futile attempts to overturn the 2020 election, Axios reported Tuesday, citing multiple top officials.
The outlet said the president was "turning bitterly on virtually every person around him" who he believes is not supporting him.
Trump thinks that those who are not fighting in his corner are, in Axios' words, "weak, stupid or disloyal" and "beneath contempt."
Trump has complained about Pence and recently brought up an ad by the Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican super PAC, that said the vice president was "backing away" from him, Axios reported.
The outlet said Trump was also unhappy with Mark Meadows, his chief of staff; Pat Cipollone, the White House counsel; Secretary of State Mike Pompeo; and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Top White House aides have for weeks been trying to distance themselves from Trump and his fruitless election lawsuits, according to multiple reports.
Axios reported that Trump had been asking his advisors if they could order state legislatures to rescind their electoral votes - and that when he is told no, he gets angry again.
Before the Electoral College met on December 14, Trump had considered asking Republican lawmakers in battleground states to refuse to ratify their results and to replace electors with loyalists who would switch their votes from President-elect Joe Biden to Trump. It was a last-ditch plot that was improbable.
But now that the Electoral College has confirmed Biden as the president-elect, Trump is turning to his congressional allies to help overturn the result on January 6, when both chambers will meet to certify the vote count.

This is so obviously fake. Trump won’t even call out the crap put into the “COVID” boondoggle bill. He’s going along with it. He’s not calling out any of the Repukes at all, he is CAMPAIGNING for the two GA Repukes who aren’t backing him.
We will have to agree to disagree...see post 86!!!
This article will serve a good purpose if it prods Pence to start fighting - really fighting - the fraud. Not just a tossed-off one liner here and there
“ False flag propaganda”
Exactly how has Pence been helping Trump fight the fraud?
I went over to Twitter and @TheDickLickin [aka @TheRickWilson] is tweet-storming this.
Well Trump can't fire him.
I think he’s doing a speech right now in Florida.
If it’s business insider/yahoo... it’s 100% pure, new and improved Deep State fake news.
No point in even reading it.
But that doesn’t stop about 25% of Freepers anyways...
But has Pence ever backed the more wilder conspiracy claims (which may be true) or has he just talked about counting every legal vote...and about things that were put in place that contradicted the State Legislatures.
Except he’s not saying anything about it...
Unless that’s part of the plan, to make him appear unbiased.
If this article gets Pence to start fighting the fraud - something he hasn’t done up to now, at least up to today - then good for Business Insider and good for Rick W for tweeting it.
It’s overturning an invalid and illegal outcome.
It’s correcting the disenfranchisement of the millions of legal votes that were cast.
This issue is greater than the parties or candidates involved. It cuts straight to the heart of We The People and our ability to determine our government.
This article is a crock of crap. Cut directly from the mold of Trump Russia collusion...”sources say”.
Fake news is too nice.
It’s pure Propaganda on steroids.
That's not how it works.
Political veterans like Trump and Pence know what rags are what.
This is just artillery fire to stir up the peasantry and pick off waverers.
I just saw the saw-offed imbecile runt Robert "Das" Reich yammering about the 25th Amendment.
They're starting to panic because Trump won't concede.
Pence may be going neutral, since Biden is almost inevitable at this point, but Trump really shouldn't pay attention to his backstabbing enemies in the Lincoln-In-Name-Only Project, featuring the near-homicidal Rick Wilson.
I never liked Pence. He always seemed a Sleepy Sessions kissing cousin. A lazy poser.
Ma means horse in Mandarin.
One of his few stalwart supporters is the indispensable Peter Navarro. There are others but they’re in and out of the margins of “face-time”.
Business Insider has run attack stories on the President for months. Their crap is fed onto my iPhone every day. Efff them.
