Can you guess what is missing from this CNN report from not 1, not 2, but 3 so-called reporters?
President Trump was privately coming to terms with his loss to President-elect Joe Biden, but he “has now reversed and dug in deeper — not only spreading misinformation about the election, but ingesting it himself,” CNN reports, “egged on by advisers like Rudy Giuliani and Jenna Ellis who are misleading Trump about the extent of voting irregularities and the prospects of a reversal.” One adviser told CNN, “He’s been fed so much misinformation that I think he actually thinks this thing was stolen from him.”
Even the Electoral College formalizing Biden’s win “did not appear enough to shake Trump from his delusions of victory,” CNN says, “but it is adding urgency to a push by several of his advisers to gently steer Trump toward reality.” Discussions of Trump’s post-presidency future tend to go nowhere because Trump “all but shuts down,” CNN reports. “In his moments of deepest denial, Trump has told some advisers that he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day, only to be walked down from that ledge. The possibility has alarmed some aides, but few believe Trump will actually follow through.”
The actual CNN report says
In his moments of deepest denial, Trump has told some advisers that he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day, only to be walked down from that ledge. The possibility has alarmed some aides, but few believe Trump will actually follow through.
“He’s throwing a f***ing temper tantrum,†an adviser said. “He’s going to leave. He’s just lashing out.â€â€¦
While Trump had begun to privately accept the reality that he lost the election late last month, advisers say Trump has now reversed and dug in deeper — not only spreading misinformation about the election, but ingesting it himself.
“He’s been fed so much misinformation that I think he actually thinks this thing was stolen from him,†a Trump adviser said of the President.
Not one single named source. As usual. This is what is called journalism these days. Of course, unhinged, TDS infused nutters like Hot Air’s Allahpundit, believe this piece of mule fritters, and even have fantasies
Imagine the news coverage. “It’s now 8 p.m. eastern time, eight hours since President Joe Biden was inaugurated, and as you can see from our live feed former President Trump is still seated at the Resolute Desk in the Oval Office in the dark with his arms crossed. Wait, hold on — we’re now getting word that the former president is threatening to hold his breath if the election results aren’t overturned. To repeat, he will hold his breath unless he isn’t sworn in for a second term immediately. Back to you, Jim.â€
I’m looking forward to #NeverTrumpers like AP whining once China Joe starts pushing all sorts of rules and regs, and, if the Dems take the Georgia senate seats, legislation that the Never Trumpers will hates. The operative phrase for these NTs will be “sit down, shut up, and take it, because this is what you wanted.” Or, just a simple, hearty “f*ck off, moron” works, as well.
Meanwhile, after 4 years of pimping Russia Russia Russia, the Washington Post seems rather upset that Ron Johnson would hold hearings on all the election irregularities, both in the supposed straight news (it’s opinion) and the opinion section. Let’s be honest, the fix was in, it’s still in, and it will continue to be in. And, when more and more evidence comes out showing all the election fraud, the same Russia Russia Russia media will tell us to just move on.
