有两句话没看懂，请指教。

原文：Trump has told people he has no plans to concede even if his path to victory is blocked

有两个地方没看懂。

 

1. Trump is not scheduled to appear in public on Friday, though an appearance at some point has not been ruled out. He spent the morning angry and frustrated, watching television while griping more people weren't defending him on the airwaves.

请问 gripping 在这里什么意思？

 

2. One idea being floated is framing potential conversations with Trump around the idea of preserving his brand for life after being president -- and explaining that dragging out an election he clearly lost would ruin his businesses and forestall whatever political future he's hoping for.

请问 framing 什么意思？frame 有如下释义，可以用在这里吗？

frame ：(formal) 制订；拟订
to create and develop sth such as a plan, a system or a set of rules

请问 preserving his brand for life after being president 什么意思？
