The raging US President has vowed to continue fighting, with the mood in the White House described as “manic” and “toxic” after the election was finally called in favour of Joe Biden

Stroppy Donald Trump will snub his successor’s inauguration and will never accept he lost, according to reports.

The foul-tempered President has repeatedly tried to cast doubt on the election, and the atmosphere in his camp has been described as ““manic” and “toxic”.

Desperate White House staffers have reportedly resorted to lighting rose-scented candles in an effort to calm the raging commander-in-chief, whose defeat was finally announced yesterday.

After more than four days of fraught counting, the election was finally called in favour of Joe Biden as voting figures showed that he had an insurmountable lead in Pennsylvania – which Trump needed to win to have any hope.

It will mean the Republican is the first President since George H. W. Bush to be dumped by voters after a single term.
