President Donald Trump and his flunkies have loudly rejected the notion of conceding the presidential race to President-elect Joe Biden, but the President’s reported private discussions belie Trumpland’s public bluster.

According to Axios and the New York Times, Trump has been considering the possibility of running again in the next election, signaling acceptance of Biden’s victory.

In the public eye, however, the President has forcefully refused to admit defeat and repeatedly peddled lies about mass election fraud while falsely claiming he won the race with “legal” votes. His allies have fallen faithfully in line with his corrupt efforts to delegitimize the election results.

Trump campaign adviser Jason Miller kept up the sideshow on Monday morning when Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo asked if Trump was planning to concede anytime soon.

“That word is not even in our vocabulary right now,” Miller replied. “We’re going to go and pursue all these legal means, all the recount methods.”
