Trump is getting angry with Mike Pence for not joining in his attempts to overturn the election, report says

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.

They want Trump to concede when he won fairly.

You don't concede to the thieves who broke into your home and cleaned your house out of all of your possessions.

Trump is not like that. He's not a quitter. He's not a turn-the-other-cheek kind of guy. If someone deliberately crosses him, he wants payback. He wants vengeance. Right or wrong, he will never concede to those who stole his second term from him.

Trump believes in payback

I’ll abide by his decision but not until.

There is no senior elected Republican - not one - who is backing Trump.

What does that tell you?

I cannot believe it would be the same Alexander Ma, but I looked up the journalist by the name(Alexander Ma) and found a curious namesake, so hard to believe anything written by any journalist these days.

Alexander Yuk Ching Ma is a former CIA officer. He was arrested in August 2020, and was charged with conspiring with a family member to communicate classified information up to the top secret level to intelligence officials of the People's Republic of China.

All Pence has to do is recognize alternate electors from seven states.

Darn. Wish he had not slipped up like that.

My post lacked a sarcasm tag. FR lists what is to be excerpted or linked to... it’s not my call. Post at will.

I would like to see less from the enemy, and more from our side, here at FR. As it is, we get the constant caw caw from the mockingbird press 24/7.

I am sick of those little qualifiers that the left wing press keeps inserting in their “reporting. Examples from this article:

... joining his FUTILE attempts to overturn the 2020 election,

...Trump and his FRUITLESS election lawsuits

Other favorite qualifiers include “without evidence” and “debunked claims”.

[DoughtyOne]

Pence has been very loyal to Trump, and this is just another
“Russian Collusion” level lie.

Fake news .

[Gator113]

I don’t believe any of this fake news garbage.

[TalBlack]

Call out the American Militia, Mr. Trump. The time for talk, opinion or persuasion is past. Hell With It, Let’s Roll.

[Theodore R.]

May he should have chosen Rand Paul for VP in 2016.

"Business Insider" - same as BS.

Yes, stories like this always indicate fear.
