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.

Yeah, well if true, I dont blame Trump for getting POd.
That is the way I see it.
Yesterday anonymous “insiders” were bad mouthing Mark Meadows; today they’re pointing at Mike Pence ...anyone see a little “divide and conquer” strategy emerging here? Personally, I wouldn’t believe a damned thing attributed to any anonymous or otherwise unattributed “source(s).”
It’s the standard news anonymous sources so it’s irrelevant anyway.
If true? The Lincoln Project is not to be believed.
Patience
I do not consider Axios a reliable source for reporting on President Trump. However, thank you for telling us what the disloyal opposition is saying.
Oh, well, with such an honorable and reliable news source as Business Insider, I conclude we’re all doomed for sure.
Barr says there’s no vote fraud that would change the election
People on this thread assume Pence thinks differently. But Pence has said nothing. He hasn’t condemned vote fraud or questioned the election outcome
Why do Freepers assume Pence agrees with us and not with Barr?
Remember, Freepers used to assume that Barr was on Trumps side, too. I got attacked for questioning that.
All I want is some evidence that Pence is as concerned as Trump about vote fraud. Evidence, not sheeple assumption that Pence must be a good guy because Trump chose him. That was the “logic” that had people here defending Barr without evidence.
As for Pence, I haven't seen any news from him on The Steal - but remember that the FakeNews would be totally uninterested in publicizing any strong statements by him.
Because then they wouldn't be able to write fake hitpieces like this.
I have no evidence, I just think that he is on Trumps side. But I was also hoping Barr was on Trumps side. I was less sure about Barr.
Totally bogus article ...this statement says all you need to know about the author!!!
Remember, the artillery battalions of the Left Media never, ever sleep.
If I were Trump I’d be angry with Pence. Pence has provided no public support against the vote fraud. If I’m wrong, prove it. Give me a link to the speech or interview in which Pence has talked about the evidence of vote fraud
Pence likely has his own presidential ambitions for 2024.
I think you’re aware that I’m no fan of the ReChumpublicans.
I don’t think the article is bogus. Unlike Rudy, Ferraro, even Rand Paul, Pence has said NOTHING about the vote fraud
Why do you think Trump would be happy that his Vice President is silent about the coup against them?
I suspect Trump is furious with Pence and he is right to be furious
Ha ha ha ha go away assholes.
The article seems to have hit its mark.
When you see the word anger and Trump in the same sentences multiple times you know this is fake......
The Fake News is always trying to frame President Trump as a petulant child.....
