Trump was 'muttering, I won, I won, like 'Mad King George' after election defeat, report says

Donald Trump on election night was like "Mad King George, muttering, 'I won. I won. I won,' " according to one close adviser, who spoke to The Washington Post for a remarkable recap of the 20 days since the election.

More than 30 senior administration officials, members of his legal team, campaign aides and advisers told the paper of his increasingly unhinged attempts to overturn the election result, and how those left within the White House humoured him.

Those around the president after 3 November were "happy to scratch his itch," the close adviser said.

"If he thinks he won, it’s like, 'Shh, we won’t tell him.'"

It sounds like they think he's crazy. How could they in good conscience let him lead this country? I just don't get it.

We really dodged a bullet by defeating him on Nov. 3rd. It's just scary that we have to live with this loony bin until Jan 20, 2021.
