CNN: “President Donald Trump’s agenda listed ‘no public events’ on Tuesday – the 10th time since the election that those words have appeared on his daily schedule. He has answered no questions from reporters, invited no cameras into the Oval Office and ventured no further than his namesake golf course, 25 miles from the White House in Virginia. According to one White House official, there is even word Trump is seriously considering canceling his annual sojourn to Mar-a-Lago to celebrate Thanksgiving, opting to remain in Washington instead.”

“‘It feels like bunker mentality,’ the official said. Even as workers dismantle and truck away the temporary metal mesh fencing that surrounded the White House on Election Day, the President remains fortified inside the building as he continues to deny losing to President-elect Joe Biden. When he looks out his north-facing windows, he can see the reviewing stand for Biden’s inaugural parade – the same one he sat in four years ago – being re-erected on his front lawn. When he ventures downstairs for meetings in the Oval Office, he often remains late into the evening conferring over his chaotic legal efforts and wondering why more of his lawyers aren’t on television defending him. During a particularly heated session last Thursday, his deputy campaign manager accused his personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, who was on speakerphone, of being a ‘fucking asshole.’ Some days there is talk of a public appearance, but few have materialized since Biden was projected the election’s winner, securing the same number of electoral votes – 306 – that Trump had previously deemed a landslide win when he took office in 2016”
