Former President Donald Trump spent his final moments in the White House on his own, devastated that he is being replaced by Democrat Joe Biden, according to reporter Jim Acosta.
Acosta, who spent the past four years covering the Trump White House for CNN, told Brian Stelter on Sunday that closest allies and advisers abandoned Trump at the end.
“It was sort of a sad and pathetic sight. I’ve never seen him this alone the entire time he was at the level of presidential politics,” the reporter said.
It took more than two months for Trump to accept Biden’s victory in the 2020 presidential election.
After launching dozens of legal challenges in states across the nation, all of which were rejected by the courts, he held a rally in Washington, D.C. urging his supporters to prevent the U.S. Congress from certifying Electoral College votes.
