Surrounded by shrinking circle of aides, a brooding Trump lashes out
By Steve Holland, Andrea Shalal
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump has increasingly isolated himself in the White House, relying on a small group of diehard loyalists and lashing out at those who dare to cross him, including Vice President Mike Pence, said four sources familiar with the matter.
Trump has surrounded himself with an ever-smaller group of loyalists who cater to his whims, including digital director Dan Scavino, personal aide John McEntee, trade adviser Peter Navarro, speechwriter Stephen Miller, and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, one source said.
Its sad. These are the people around him and egging him on, the source said, who also asked not to be identified.
It was Scavino who, after Congress certified Bidens victory, tweeted out a statement from Trump early on Thursday to say the president would go along with an orderly transition of power to Biden. Trump himself was suspended from Twitter at the time and could not send the tweet himself.

Il Duce-ani practically launched his NYC mayoral campaign by egging on police rioting at City Hall to protest formation of a Civilian Complaint Review Board.
Those two really aren't very different. Trump pretends to have more money, Rudy used to have more brains.

These drooling fascists should be charged along with trump.
