Why is Trump still replacing executives in the Pentagon? Come February, Biden will sweep the place clean and bring his own staff anyways. A typical cleansing move by an egomaniac who only gathers those who remain 150% faithful, even in the face of defeat? Perhaps. But there might be another reason:
Trump needs a lot of fresh cash when leaving the oval office, since his real estate business is not exactly booming. The cash cow, Trump Tower in NYC, apparently does not compensate for the money burned on golf resorts and hotels. He used to rescue himself through asset sales, then added high income from his TV show ("You're fired"). Now he got himself fired, which leads to him capitalizing on his 70 million faithful American followers. This explains the denial of defeat and consequent claims to be standing strong - which he clearly is not.
He has to keep the crowds happy; after all, they voted Trump: the tough, the relentless. Now he has to deliver while keeping them entertained - a scary reality show. For Trump, it's about developing strategies countering his financial ruin. Therefore, he already is in the midst of planning a whole new TV show, woven into an entire media product portfolio. In order for camp Trump to succeed, they obviously have to paint the image of himself as a winner, whose victory has been stolen by dark, evil forces. His voters don't want a loser Trump - what a sad, crazy America.
