Frustrated Trump met with Pence before holiday break

Washington (CNN)

Hours before President Donald Trump retweeted a message for his vice president to "act" in stopping the ratification of the Electoral College, he met for more than an hour in the Oval Office with Mike Pence, whom he has complained recently isn't doing enough to support his bid to overturn the election.

The discussion was "entirely unrelated" to the eventual tweet, one person familiar with the matter said, though would not specify whether the issue of the January 6 ratification in Congress arose. The two men went separate ways for the holiday.

As Trump enters the holiday stretch as fixated as ever on overturning the results of the election, the Electoral College certification is becoming a focal point for his efforts.

On Wednesday evening, as he was flying to Florida for his vacation, Trump retweeted a call from one of his supporters for Pence to refuse to ratify the Electoral College results on January 6 -- a prospect that has captured his imagination even if it remains completely impossible.

Trump's personal attorney Rudy Giuliani was with Trump aboard Air Force One before the President sent out the tweet. Giuliani is joining Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate for the holidays, where the men are expected to discuss their election efforts.

Arriving at his golf club Thursday afternoon, Trump received a warm welcome from members and vowed to continue fighting to overturn the election, a person familiar with the matter said.

"He's very resolute in continuing to want to fight the Electoral College," this person said. "And he still thinks it's not over."

Later, he spent much of Christmas Eve tweeting grievances, including one aimed at Senate Republicans, vowing that he will "NEVER FORGET!" what he sees as their abandonment.

I can’t bring myself to reading this BS from CNN. Trump is resolute. He doesn’t quit. He doesn’t get frustrated. He wins. He has won. He’ll prevail.

If Trump is counting on Pence to save the day he may as well pack up now.

With respect, on Christmas morning, I don’t understand what is gained by posting CNN BS propaganda in this forum. Since you did not make the effort to add a comment in the space available, I’ll ask—what is the purpose of posting this drivel?

Trollish psyops. A dog- whistle to bring out the legion of Doomers on FR in an effort to demoralize the weak and wavering.

CNN is serving alpo again...

Well, it’s suppose to be alpo, but it exited a dog and
probably isn’t going back in.
