Dejected Trump continues to waffle over waging baseless election fight
CNN ^ | Nov. 12, 2020 | Kaitlan Collins, Kevin Liptak and Jim Acosta

(CNN)How much longer President Donald Trump continues waging battle over an election he lost remained in question Thursday as more of his advisers voiced doubt his gambit to contest the results would succeed. One person who spoke to him called him "dejected" over the ordeal.

Trump himself was waffling by the hour and day between a pugilistic desire to keep fighting and a more resigned attitude that his efforts will ultimately fail, people who spoke to him said.

None said they believed a full-blown concession was imminent, or likely to ever materialize. Some people close to the situation pointed to November 20 -- the certification deadline in Georgia, where a hand recount has been ordered -- as a potential end-date. Others said the unpredictable President could chose to pull the plug sooner.

But surveyed by CNN, nearly everyone close to Trump said they believed it was only a matter of time before he finds some way to acknowledge he will not be president come January 20 -- and said he was likely to pin blame on his baseless claims of a rigged election.

Just in the last day, Trump's informal campaign adviser, a religious ally, a Republican governor and conservative media personalities have all come out to say the election was won by Biden and that Trump should begin moving on. Inside the White House, the current period has taken on the feeling of interregnum, as staffers feel obliged to continue their work and even celebrate Trump's perceived victory while the President largely discontinues his own official tasks.

Not surprised to see Acosta’s name on the byline. I guess he is having a lot of trouble separating his fantasies from reality, these days. :)

CNN... thus most likely totally fake. But if not, President Trump hopefully realizes that they crazy dems will persecute him and the rest of us. No matter how nuts it sounds, when they say they are compiling “lists” and planning retribution. Believe them. If they do go forward, of course we will fight back and they will get a civil war that they seem to desire.

The only thing that Donald Trump is dejected about is that there are so many idiots in America . . . it makes him feel bad for them.

I pray every night Trump is victorious in proving fraud and is declared the winner. To see look on the faces of these scumrats at CNN would be priceless not to mention these other rats like AOC and Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Compost threatening Trump supporters with lists.....
Look at this.......

What “baseless fight”?
Sounds like another false premise from the thousands they come out with monthly.
“Baseless fight” is just CNN’s OPINION.
NOT FACT.
I cannot believe how stupid their news commentary is and how gullible their viewers are.

I would be dejected, too.
The fraud is blatantly obvious. The need to investigate, likewise.
But he not only opposed by the Democrats and Enemedia, but by members of his own party, and, to some degree, by the indifference of the American people.
He can give up and go home to a life of luxury or he can fight on and carry the whole thing himself.
It is a good thing for America that Trump is such a fighter.

Strong tweets from the President this morning. “Dejected”? I don’t think so.
