A couple of top staffers have actually left their jobs, and many others have privately started looking for their next job and spoken about life after the White House.
But publicly, top aides have praised Trump for fighting the election results even as the president fails to produce evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome.
There are growing signs that top aides are preparing for life after the Trump White House.
"People are actively looking for jobs and have been for weeks," said one former administration official. "I don't see any impact from [Trump's] antics on serious people."
White House staff secretary Derek Lyons plans to leave his job this month, marking the departure of one of the president's closest aides. White House communications director Alyssa Farah left her role earlier this month.
