This is what Trumptard will NEVER understand because they see these Giuliani LYING on TV and that's all they know.
Even when they are given the facts (like our phony "coach") they still either don't get it or just refuse to belive it.
As long as Trump continues to pretend he won and posting this on Twitter almost daily, his base will agree with him, which is exactly what he wants. However, there appears to be a flaw in his plan. Republican congresspeople are beginning to publicly speak out about what they've probably been privately saying all along and that is that Biden won the election and Trump needs to accept it.
Trump also hopes he can make the transition and Biden's presidency as difficult as possible. If Biden fails over the next 4 years, Trump believes he's got a chance at getting elected once again.
This is a sad, sad time for the U.S. Many of us thought the last four years were pretty bad constitutionally, but Trump's ridiculous charade at the end of this game is worse. Maybe having Covid messed with his head or the treatments he had did. Then again, there is the possibility that he's always been a nut job. However, he is the consummate Getbigger which explains a lot.

Senator Lamar Alexander, Republican of Tennessee, said that the Trump administration should cooperate with President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s transition “if there is any chance whatsoever that Joe Biden will be the next president.”
By and large, those notes of dissent and others came from Republicans who are already retiring at year’s end or have no immediate plans to face voters, like Senators Mitt Romney of Utah and Ben Sasse of Nebraska.
“We’re going to have an orderly transfer from this administration to the next one,” Mr. McConnell said this week. “What we all say about it is, frankly, irrelevant.”
“While the president has the right to legitimate legal challenges, responsible citizens cannot let the reckless actions by him and his legal team stand,” Bob Corker, a former Republican senator from Tennessee who retired in 2018, wrote on Twitter on Friday. “Republicans have an obligation when the subject is of such importance to challenge demagoguery and patently false statements.”
Representative Francis Rooney of Florida, a Republican who is retiring this year, lamented in an interview how many of his colleagues were “just hiding out” rather than speaking out against Mr. Trump.
And Senator Susan Collins of Maine, who was among the first Republicans to recognize Mr. Biden’s victory, said in a statement on Friday that there was “a right way and a wrong way for the incumbent president to pursue his rights to contest what he perceives as election irregularities.”
“The wrong way is to attempt to pressure state election officials,” she said. “That undermines the public’s faith in our election results without evidence and court rulings to support the allegations.”
Senator Joni Ernst of Iowa, a member of Mr. McConnell’s leadership team, on Thursday called some of the election fraud claims “absolutely outrageous,”
Ms. Granger, who was re-elected to represent a conservative district based in Fort Worth, was more direct: She told CNN that she had “great concerns” about what Mr. Trump was doing.
“I think that it’s time to move on,” she said.
Representative Paul Mitchell of Michigan, who is retiring, wrote in an op-ed in The Detroit News that Mr. Trump’s “continued refusal to acknowledge the election results risks corroding our democracy by literally hollowing it out.”The Hill

Pressure grows from GOP for Trump to recognize Biden election win
Former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R), who has been a Trump ally, labeled the conduct of the Trump campaign’s legal team “a national embarrassment”
Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) also requested the process to “move forward” despite Trump’s objection to Biden’s win in his state, saying on CNN’s “Inside Politics” that “the voters have spoken.”
Former national security adviser John Bolton labeled “inexcusable” post-election behavior.
"The Republican Party is not going to be saved by hiding in a spider hole,” Bolton told CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) told CNN’s “State of the Union” that he’s “embarrassed that more people” in his party “aren’t speaking up” against Trump’s denial of the election results.
“We were the most respected country with respect to elections,” Hogan said. “And now, we’re beginning to look like we’re a banana republic. It’s time for them to stop the nonsense. It just gets more bizarre every single day.”
Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told NBC’s “Meet the Press” that he believes Trump has the right to challenge the election results through the legal process but added it is “past time to start a transition” to the Biden administration.
Other Republicans broke with Trump before Sunday, including Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) who on Saturday congratulated Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris after the federal judge dismissed the Trump campaign’s lawsuit in his home state.
On Friday, House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) implied that the campaign needed to provide proof of fraud or concede.
“If the President cannot prove these claims or demonstrate that they would change the election result, he should fulfill his oath to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States by respecting the sanctity of our electoral process,” she said.
