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.

Pence’s silence on the election steal is deadly. We need people to stand up and put pressure on the legislatures and governors and courts. A coup is going on. Silence is complicity
Trump has every reason to be FURIOUS at Pencecfor being AWOL in this lif-or-dear fight.
That is exactly what Roger Stone advised him 49 months ago. Unfortunately Trump listened to Jared and Ivanka instead.
Oh, btw, where have they been on all this? Rather quiet themselves—other than for the reports that they had been pushing him to concession early on.
False flag propaganda. Literally can’t trust anything from censored MSM fake news during this time of active coup.
Consider source.
This is agitprop.
I didn’t need Business Insider to make me mad at Pence for being AWOL in the fight against the coup that is designed to take Trump down
Business Insider is pointing out the obvious - there’s a vote fraud coup that is about to install Biden as president
Trump is actively fighting it, with daily public statements and attempts to get Republican legislatures and governors off their behinds
But all we get from Pence is crickets
If you think Pence is acting like an ally, I’d never want you in a foxhole with me.
Pence was at the meeting with conservative Congressional leaders last night, BTW.
Fake News indicator.
Fake news.
Their intent is to display a Trump who has gone full blown psycho, a person who thinks everyone is against him or out to get him, especially those in his inner circle.
No barf alert?
And not even very good propaganda.
Smells like desperation to me.
Goody.
Ok, it looks like some fire was applied to his feet.
Puked up by Axios, and being spread by Business Insider and the New York Daily News.
Patrick Byrne isn’t anonymous. And he was at the meeting.
Mark Meadows is in the more retrained contingent. He is never going to go for the Wild Conspiracy Powell/Flynn/Byrne side.
Neither is Pence.
Neither will Kushner or Ivanka. She wants to run for office.
Not sure why he leaked Trump’s covid info in contradiction of trump Dr that day.
Maybe he is more concerned about continuity and that sort of thing.
Axios. lolol
The Progre$$ive Preppie News Network
The Founding Fathers would kick them hard in their behinds for all the sheer madness they pass off as ‘news’.
Yeah I was doing a quick search and nothing really. Just in GA he was stumping for the run offs and said we would be watching them closely and watching the drop boxes. But not saying anything about fraud. Wonder why. Maybe trying to continue in politics and ride the fence. People are so afraid if they back Trump on this and if it fails they will be put on a list and booted from the political arena. I hope Trump has even more evidence and releases it soon. I have seen enough to know this was rigged. In many states.
He was no daisy.
Business Insider is owned by German Axel Springer whose anti-American propaganda is well known. BI is the Huffington Post of the business world. Thus, why post such a scurrilous source?
Now we need Pence to go to the Georgia and Arizona state houses and have a talk with those traitorous GOP governors.
It used to be that a VP served as a presidents enforcer. It’s past time that pence stepped up.
Remember, Trump pushing for the vaccine and signing relief Bills didn’t make a difference as to how much the media would ever have him on their bad side. It didn’t matte4r with Bush either.
