President Donald Trump declared Wednesday on Twitter, "WE WILL WIN!"
But, in fact, the president has no clear endgame to actually win the election - and, in an indication he may be starting to come to terms with his loss, he is talking privately about running again in 2024.
Trump aides, advisers and allies said there is no grand strategy to reverse the election results, which show President-elect Joe Biden with a majority of electoral college votes, as well as a 5 million-vote lead in the national popular vote.
Asked about Trump's ultimate plan, one senior administration official chuckled and said, "You're giving everybody way too much credit right now."
Republican officials have scrambled nationwide to produce evidence of widespread voter fraud that could bolster the Trump campaign's legal challenges, but no such evidence has surfaced.
Still, the absence of evidence and of a comprehensive and realistic plan to overcome Trump's significant deficit and secure him a second term have not stopped some of the leading figures in the administration and the Republican Party from amplifying the president's misinformation about the election outcome.
Trump has been spending his days largely on the phone, calling advisers, allies and friends. The president has been "trying to find people who will give him good news," one adviser said.
That official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly recount sensitive internal conversations.

WA-WA POS!...................
Which aides ? Name them.
Why would he tell them?
He’s been around the block enough to know not to trust those under him.
They underestimate him at their peril.
OR.....
They are saying it to throw the democrats off.
Fake news for sure.... a LOT of very stupid and insignificant a&# clowns need to STFU!
Is it just me or is the Washington Compost the paper with the worst record on reports like this (inside the White House)?
Then again, I think the White House is still filled and surrounded by a lot of never-Trumpers so expect more reports like this in the coming days.
Needs his teeth folded back bad.
Oh look. It’s the San Francisco paper talkin’...
I haven’t seen a Single State certify any results from the election yet, WTF are they talking about??
Nothing wapo reports can be trusted after they asserted how the postal worker recanted his claim.
WaPo via sf gate....you posted this as a joke right?
“Aids”, as in extreme left-wing liberal communist working in the white house.
“That official, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to candidly recount sensitive internal conversations.”
In other words, they are shitbag leakers.
It’s interesting that the WP always has the inside scoop - White House “aides,” they claim, speak only to them.
