Axios: "The collapse of a president."

Click here for an excellent collection of articles (linked to podcasts) of how the election unfolded -- before, during, and after -- as seen from inside the Trump campaign. 

Beginning on election night 2020 and continuing through his final days in office, Donald Trump unraveled and dragged America with him, to the point that his followers sacked the U.S. Capitol with two weeks left in his term. This Axios series takes you inside the collapse of a president.

Episode 1: A premeditated lie lit the fire.

Trump’s refusal to believe the election results was premeditated. He had heard about the “red mirage” — the likelihood that early vote counts would tip more Republican than the final tallies — and he decided to exploit it.

Episode 2: Barbarians at the Oval. 

Trump stops buying what his professional staff are telling him, and increasingly turns to radical voices telling him what he wants to hear.
Episode 3: Descent into madness ... Trump: 'Sometimes you need a little crazy.' 

The conspiracy goes too far. Trump's outside lawyers plot to seize voting machines and spin theories about communists, spies and computer software.

Episode 4: Off the Rails: Behind Trump's post-election meltdown.

The linked podcasts will add to the series as events progress; episodes will be released each Monday, beginning on Jan. 18.
