How do I convey nasty truths to the boss? This is a task that White House employees have not cared about in the past four years, because such messages have often meant resignation to the person delivering them. So who tells Donald Trump that his defeat in the presidential election will not be prevented even by trials against the electoral authorities?
Several US media unanimously report that the group of people in the White House who consider that the election is over had grown even before Biden’s victory was announced, but that none of the group members dared to tell the president with this knowledge. bother.
Trump has not stepped in front of the cameras since his appearance Thursday, when he said that the votes yet to be counted are illegal and painted a conspiracy of “big media, big money and big technology” on the wall. He does what he always does when he’s angry, sending Twitter messages telling his own version of the truth.
Even Fox News keeps its distance
One thing that always calmed him when he was angry, he will no longer be able to do: tune in to Fox News. The announcer, formerly loyal to him, had distanced himself, like other conservative media outlets, from Trump’s undemocratic reaction to the emerging electoral result. Fox also named Biden as the winner of the election. And before that, of all people, popular Fox host Laura Ingraham, one of his most fervent supporters since 2016, had warned the current president to leave office with dignity and peace of mind.
An option that is apparently out of the question for Trump. Because as reported by various sources in his entourage, at no time was he based on a call award speech prepared, the speech with which the losers acknowledge the victory of the opponent.
As CNN reports, citing insiders at the White House, Trump has been calling out long-term supporters in recent days and nights to keep them loyal in his fight. He also reportedly expressed his disgust at how poorly his team had prepared the demand strategy announced before the elections. As the Washington Post reported, Trump’s legal advisers complained that the campaign was more about that. public relations Y politics than consistent legal procedure.
However, according to “Politico” magazine, Trump is said to have won over several top Republican politicians in this way, who in turn were able to encourage their own supporters to support Trump in the legal campaign that has hitherto been underfunded. .
The lost kingdom
The mood in the immediate vicinity of Trump couldn’t cheer that up either. The Washington Post quotes an anonymous White House source who sarcastically conjured up a Shakespearean royal drama scenario: “Everyone knows he’s lost, but no one is willing to tell King Lear or Mad King George they are lost. kingdom “.
Those who are called upon to prepare Trump for the end of the reign, to follow Shakespeare, include his vassals Mark Meadows and Mike Pence. However, CNN claims to have heard from dissatisfied members of his team, Chief of Staff Meadows, who until recently fed Trump more falsehoods about the legal possibilities to keep him happy. And Vice President Pence also maintains the illusion that he can still legally stop defeat. He even continues to diligently fundraise for the campaign instead of thinking with Trump of an orderly withdrawal from the White House.
Trump is said to have considered losing the race to Joe Biden even in the summer. At least that’s what “New York” magazine reports, citing a close adviser to the president. On the day of the election, according to the insider, Trump learned that the election was over. But because he was enraged at all the employees and consultants in his frustration, they all ducked or whispered lies to him.
The very night of the elections, the situation got out of control. Trump exploded because his former favorite Fox Biden in Arizona saw the front and because his opponent took the opportunity to appear in front of the cameras. When Trump then “STOP THE COUNT!” tweeted, his people had to remind him that the end of the count would have spelled his defeat, as he was behind Joe Biden at the time. Then, according to the informant, the idea would have finally been agreed with the “legal” and “illegal” votes.
Meanwhile, according to CNN, all hopes are pinned on Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump. They must make it clear to Trump that he has to find the right moment to acknowledge the truth. Failure to do so would not only block any return to politics, it would also harm the family’s business activities. Perhaps it is not the worst persuasion strategy: if Donald Trump does not understand the signs of the times as a politician, perhaps as a businessman.
