Trump campaign aide Lewandowski got the 'rona.

At least a half-dozen+ people present at Trump's election party at the WH contracted the virus: Ben Carson, Meadows, and others LINK

Quote

At least five other White House officials have been infected in recent days, including Cassidy Hutchinson, one of Meadows’s closest aides, and Charlton Boyd, an aide to senior Trump adviser Jared Kushner, according to several people.

Lewandowski is claiming he caught it on the recent trip to Philly contest PA election results.

Wasn't it Meadows that tested positive earlier so presumably he was the one that spread it to them?

Maybe, but who knows? Folks in the Trump administration have been so haphazard about taking any precaution and tracing contacts. Who knows who got it when?

I didn't know Kushner got it. Wonder if Ivanka will get it now too. These F'ing idiots never learn.

Kushner got it too?  Jared and Ivanka were asked to take the kids out of school because they were disregarding precaution.

Sorry, I misread your quote. It said an aide to Kushner.

How much longer President Donald Trump continues waging battle over an election he lost remained in question Thursday as more of his advisers voiced doubt his gambit to contest the results would succeed. One person who spoke to him called him "dejected" over the ordeal.

Trump himself was waffling by the hour and day between a pugilistic desire to keep fighting and a more resigned attitude that his efforts will ultimately fail, people who spoke to him said.

Just in the last day, Trump's informal campaign adviser, a religious ally, a Republican governor and conservative media personalities have all come out to say the election was won by Biden and that Trump should begin moving on.

Inside the White House, the current period has taken on the feeling of interregnum, as staffers feel obliged to continue their work and even celebrate Trump's perceived victory while the President largely discontinues his own official tasks.

As Trump was in the White House residence last week, watching his path to a second term slip from grasp, his staffers were holding a premature celebration next door. The White House Office of Presidential Personnel, the unit responsible for administration hiring that has of late become a loyalty enforcer under Trump, threw a victory party in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, sources told CNN, where staffers enjoyed drinks and clinked glasses to a second term.

The ill-timed celebration was another reminder of how the Trump administration is operating as if a second term is in the offing, even as many officials say they are just waiting on the President to publicly accept reality.

It is usually the Dems that badly damage themselves with the internal fighting.  This one could be an interesting example of the tables being turned.

I'm sure Fox is trembling with fear after seeing how well he executed on Trump steaks, Trump Airlines, Trump taj Mahal, Trump university, Trump's second term, etc

Fox probably shouldn’t have called Az so early.   But they weren’t wrong.

So whats the chance that Trump tries to start a new political party away from the Republican party?

That whole AZ thing has been interesting from a Fox/Trump perspective.

I looked at their website earlier today and there was absolutely nada in terms of Trump's '20 election legal fight.  I think the near silence from Fox and the Senior Repubs tells the story here.  If they were really going to pursue this then they'd be all over it.  Instead, they've stuck to the minimal level of response in public.  Fox was of course more verbal earlier but that seems to have stopped now.

But not sure why the Trump campaign got so fixated with Fox calling Arizona. AP called it shortly afterwards. And these are two very reputable decision desks.

Either Fox shouldn't have called it so soon, or the system Fox uses for projections is incredible: Calling the race on election night when the actual result was less than 0.5% margin. It was a close call but I'm not aware it ever got to a point Fox rescinded it. I wonder what Fox's projection desk knew about other the states that were so close?

That is why I am shocked Repubs are still towing the line for him.  He has a cult following, ensuring if he ran on his own ticket, it guarantees there would not be a Republican president.  

For me it was the seeming lack of consistency in calling AZ but not NV until so much later. Was just weird.

That was a bit odd but then again, NV also decided to not release any new vote counts for several days post-ED.

None.  As a third party candidate he would actually need to explain his platform, positions, convictions, etc. Of which he has none.  Trump was/is a product of the Republican Party — they created him, nominated him, enabled him, championed him, and now they are coddling and indulging him because they’re terrified of the Frankenstein they ended up with.

Ross Perot was the genuine article of what Trumpsters think Trump is.  A self-made businessman who became wealthy due to his own ability.  He wasn’t able to get more than 19% of the electoral vote, because as the election neared people began to see that some of his ideas were nutty.

Without the Republican Party Trump wouldn’t get beyond 12% of the national popular vote — but he would indeed screw over Republicans

I'd agree, but his fans just fill in the blanks based on whatever loosely-formed thoughts and misspelled tweets he puts out.

Once he is out of office do you really think he gives one iota about the Republicans? It seems like he is starting the divorce from the party as it is.

Starting his own network, his own party with a devote group of followers and being able to make a ton of money off of them. It feels so Trumpy.

Top Trump adviser says White House is proceeding under the "assumption of a second Trump term

Top Trump adviser Peter Navarro appeared on television Friday to baselessly yet emphatically claim that the White House is proceeding under the "assumption of a second Trump term," and that President Trump "won the election," even though he has lost.

Remember: Major new organizations, including CNN, projected Biden will win the presidential election. President Trump has launched a series of legal challenges to the results, even though there has been no evidence of widespread voting fraud despite Trump's claims.

"We are moving forward here at the White House under the assumption that there will be a second Trump term," trade adviser Navarro lied on Fox Business Friday morning.

He continued to lie, saying:

"What we seek here is verifiable ballots, certifiable ballots, and an investigation into what are growing numbers of allegations of fraud under signed affidavits by witnesses and my own view looking at this election, we have what appears in some sense to be an immaculate deception. But if you look statistically at what happened, clearly the president won this election, was leading on election day. And then, after election day, somehow in these key battleground states, they got just enough votes to catch up to the President."

Navarro is a communist and a certified lunatic. Probably the most dangerous member of the administration next to Stephen Miller. Navarro would turn our country into the Soviet Union if he had half a chance so of course he isn't going to recognize a democratic election.
