CNN reporter Kaitlan Collins said on Friday that White House aides are having discussions about how to stage an intervention with President Donald Trump to tell him he has no hope of winning a second term.
Collins said that the aides were plotting an intervention because Trump is still in total denial about losing the 2020 vote to Democratic rival Joe Biden.
Im actually being told by sources that, in recent days, the president has said he has no plans to concede this election to Joe Biden, even if his path to victory is effectively blocked, which it could be by a Biden win in Pennsylvania or in somewhere like Georgia, she said. But despite that the president has said that he has no plans to concede this election as he has continued to push this baseless claim that the election is being stolen from him.

That creates this conversation about who is going to be the person thats going to reckon with the president and tell him that his time in office could be coming to an end, she said. Thats a conversation that Im told the presidents allies are still having, theyre not sure who that person is going to be. Theyve talked about Jared Kushner, someone like an Ivanka Trump, but they havent figured out who it is to bring the president to terms with reality.

(46,094 posts)1. Trump trash talks about going directly to the USSC. Nothing happens.
2. Trump starts talking about his "second term." Nothing happens.
3. Trump takes a pause.
4. Trump no longer talks about going to court but doesn't concede.
5. Trump makes mayhem from the Oval Office in reaction to losing.
6. Trump leaves DC in the middle of the night before January 20, to Mar-A-Lago. He will not appear at the Inauguration.

Change it around a little; really, though, it works. I've done lots of these interventions.
Do I have to say I love him? He's gonna know that's a lie.

(58,785 posts)abandoning Trump, happy with what they've salvaged from this election and that the time for them to dump Trump has finally arrived. Trump's calls to them for help are mostly going unanswered.
Fox will posture whatever degree of loyalty is necessary to satisfy their viewers, and to wring whatever advantage they still can from Trump, such as using his troubles to rally passion against Democrats, but neither they nor their viewers like losers.

(6,900 posts)Trump is barely capable of pretending to listen to anyone. Those gutless sycophants will never dare tell him the truth.
I expect his aides to continue plotting to overturn the election results, not plotting to confront him with the truth.
