President-elect Joe Biden has most of America celebrating right now. After a tense four-day long ordeal, Joe Biden was announced the winner. But not for President Donald Trump, who is, as his niece Mary Trump would say, having a temper tantrum.

Trump has fumed that he would not attend the inauguration of a rival he sees as a 'phoney President'. A Republican source let in on his state of mind last night by revealing, "He has no concession speech ready and no intention of recognizing Joe Biden's presidency."

Sources on the inside revealed to the Daily Mail what is doing on in the White House since the verdict and described the atmosphere inside the West Wing as "manic, exuberant, energized and toxic". It is so toxic that some of the staff is working with rose-scented candles in an attempt to calm the space and to combat the smell of fast-food delivered to the President and his inner circle.

"His sons and closest aides have been egging him on while no one else dares raise the delicate matter that he has lost and needs to consider life post-presidency," a source revealed to the publication. "In his mind, he never looked past election day because he is superstitious and he thought it was bad luck."

And that is where all his desperate measures are coming from. He continues to protest that he was cheated by widespread voter fraud and took to Twitter over the course of the last few days to cry wolf. And his supporters are not far behind even as his family continues to spread wrong information. Eric Trump was called out on Twitter for sharing misinformation and arising the sentiments of people. 

"Trump is surrounded by his family and an army of lawyers and has been constantly on the phone," one source said. "He is in fighting mode and is saying Biden would be a phoney President and that he won't turn up on January 20 [inauguration day] as that would be an insult to democracy."

This can hardly be surprising. It doesn't look like the President is going to rest till he stirs some chaos in the coming 70 days. He had said his opponents are "trying to steal an election" from him and that he will easily win if they count all the legal votes. "Now he's hell-bent on creating a narrative that the election was fraudulent and so Biden is not legitimate. He believes there was a conspiracy against him from day one of his presidency - with the Russian influence hoax, the fake impeachment and now the fake election," the source revealed further.

The New York Times confirmed that Trump has no plans to deliver a customary concession speech and claimed in a statement that Biden was trying to "falsely pose" as the winner. "The simple fact is this election is far from over," the president said, according to the Times. He continued, "Beginning Monday, our campaign will start prosecuting our case in court to ensure election laws are fully upheld and the rightful winner is seated."
