President Trump, in his final days, is turning bitterly on virtually every person around him, griping about anyone who refuses to indulge conspiracy theories or hopeless bids to overturn the election, several top officials tell Axios. . . .Trump thinks everyone around him is weak, stupid or disloyal — and increasingly seeks comfort only in people who egg him on to overturn the election results. We cannot stress enough how unnerved Trump officials are by the conversations unfolding inside the White House. . . .
Trump is lashing out . . . [I]f you're not in the "use the Department of Homeland Security or the military to impound voting machines" camp, the president considers you weak and beneath contempt. . . .
Trump is fed up with Cipollone, his counsel . . . and [may be thinking of] replacing him with a fringe loyalist.
A source who spoke to Trump said the president was complaining about Pence and brought up a Lincoln Project ad that claims that Pence is "backing away" from Trump. This ad has clearly got inside Trump's head, the source said.
Trump views Pence as not fighting hard enough for him — the same complaint he uses against virtually everybody who works for him and has been loyal to him. . . .
Trump would view Pence performing his constitutional duty — and validating the election result — as the ultimate betrayal. . . .
Trump has even been asking advisers whether they can get state legislatures to rescind their electoral votes. When he's told no, he lashes out even more. . .
As Axios reported Monday night, the president got his personal assistant to email Republican lawmakers a PowerPoint slide attacking McConnell for being "the first one off the ship," and absurdly claiming credit for the Senate majority leader's victory in his Kentucky re-election. That's quite a message to send two weeks out from crucial runoff races in Georgia, where Republicans need to stay unified.

"Let me say definitely that Sidney Powell is not part of our legal team, she hasn't been for 5 weeks, she is not a special counsel for the president, she does not speak for the president, nor does she speak for the administration. She speaks for herself." -- Rudy Giuliani pic.twitter.com/VUjQk1dtVl

Pretty sure he was echoing her irrational claims about voting machines, Venezuela and George Soros. Sounded like they were on the same page back then

It's strange--I read the same news commenters and outlets you do and am equally depressed, distressed, and angry, but somehow when I see it all aggregated here, I get even more d, d, & a. The awood effect in action...
