President Trumps first interview since the Nov. 3 election was full of rants, raves and refusal to accept reality.
Its not like youre going to change my mind. In other words, my mind will not change in six months. There was tremendous cheating here, Trump, whos refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden, said on Fox News on Sunday.
Recent weeks have seen a string of humiliating legal defeats for team Trump, with a Pennsylvania judge tossing out a Republican attempt to discount mail-in votes on Saturday night.
Were not allowed to put in our proof. They say you dont have standing, Trump raved in a phone call with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures.

Trump floats appointing a special prosecutor in addition to Durham to investigate Trump-Russia investigators
Trump said he would consider appointing a special prosecutor to investigate the Trump-Russia investigators, expressing frustration with U.S. Attorney John Durham, who was picked by Attorney General William Barr last year to investigate the origins and conduct of the FBIs Crossfire Hurricane investigation.
Trump made the comments during a lengthy interview with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News, with the president shifting from his complaints about allegations of voter fraud which his legal team has repeatedly lost in court to what he saw as a lack of consequences for fired FBI Director James Comey, fired FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, former CIA Director John Brennan, and others.
Where is the DOJ and the FBI in all of this, Mr. President? Bartiromo asked of Trumps claims of voter fraud. You have laid out some serious charges here. Shouldnt this be something that the FBI is investigating? Are they? Is the DOJ investigating?
Missing in action. Missing in action. Cant tell you where they are. I ask, Are they looking at it? Everyone says, Yes, theyre looking at it. Look, where are they with Comey, McCabe, and all these other people? You know, I said Ill stay out of it. I wish I didnt make that statement. Theres no reason, really, why I have to, Trump said. But where are they with Comey, with McCabe, with Brennan, with all these people. They lied to Congress. They lied, they leaked, they spied on our campaign. I see Carter Page is bringing a lawsuit, thats good news. Where are they with all of this stuff? And, you know, what happened to Durham? Wheres Durham?

Trump's turning into the grumpy old man who's always screaming at the neighborhood kids.

(1,601 posts)is telling. The reason that the cases have no merit is because no evidence has been filed by the plaintiffs (presumably because there is none). Trump is trying to change the messaging to "the courts are deliberately blocking him from providing the evidence". In other words, he is once again not playing to the courts but to his base, trying to spur them into action, because he believes that the only thing that could possibly save him is an armed revolution.
