Insiders described the atmosphere inside the West Wing as 'manic, exuberant, energised and toxic', with some staff lighting rose-scented candles in an attempt to soften the environment – 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,' said a source. 'In his mind, he never looked past election day because he is superstitious and he thought it was bad luck.

'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.'

Some commentators have likened the situation to the Berlin bunker scene in the movie Downfall, in which an increasingly manic Adolf Hitler rages against his most trusted generals who dare not tell him the Nazis have lost the Second World War.

1. wow, baby Dictator-wannabe called Rupert Murdoch to scream at him...

In particular, according to Vanity Fair magazine, he was furious that Right-wing Fox News declared that Mr Biden had won the key state of Arizona while the count was still ongoing and rang the station's owner, Rupert Murdoch, to 'scream and demand a retraction'.

Mr Murdoch, a long-standing Trump supporter, refused.

Who will be the one to deliver?

4. I'm almost in tears laughing

about imagining the toddler sitting in his rotten food. I checked several times if it isn't The Onion but it's certainly believable.

5. Reading the bit about the smell and the need for scented candles reminds me of an article I

read about the work launching "The Apprentice," when the people having to create the TV image of Trump as a successful tycoon discovered that his real office was small, messy and smelled bad.
