Trump is on an island

[DonViejo]

Alayna Treene, Jonathan Swan

Most of President Trump's closest advisers have completely distanced themselves from his legal effort and are avoiding his lawyers to avoid being swept into their courtroom dramas.

Why it matters: Some of the president's advisers act like they think he can still overturn the election results — because they remain on the payroll and don't have another choice. But talk to them privately, and many say Rudy Giuliani and his team are on a dead-end path.

The true believers are Giuliani and his sidekicks — Jenna Ellis and Sidney Powell — and not many others. Even Jared and Ivanka think this is going nowhere, people who’ve spoken to them told Axios.

* Some administration officials say it’s borderline impossible to have a serious policy conversation these days without Trump turning it into a rant about the Dominion voting machine conspiracy.

* Most hardcore Trump sources have psychologically bailed, and are just waiting out the storm.

1. Trump's more like a sinking ship.

The re-elected republican members of Congress need to wake up to reality and realize, he is not going to be apart of their future!

2. So the F**k what!

They haven't tried to stop it. They haven't spoken out about it. They are willing to damage our democracy and nation. They are as complicit as the crazy lawyers. They are afraid and don't care about anything beyond themselves. They are waiting out the storm with life preservers on while the rest of us are treading water and hanging onto waterlogged pieces of driftwood.

3. WHAT policy discussions??

Guys. You're a lame duck administration. Yous should be working on COVID and packing boxes. That's it.

4. Considering that Jenna Ellis has called Trump an idiot in the past...

...I doubt she's a "true believer" either. My guess is that this is just grifting as far as she's concerned.
