Did The Trump Campaign Realize/Suspect They Were Going to Lose On The Morning Of The Election?

I think that most people knew, regardless of if they liked it or not, that Trump was not going to win that night. I remember that night, and afterwards, when people were actually more shocked than anything else at how relatively close the election ended up being, as I remembered many people unironically thinking that Trump was only going to win the guaranteed 20 states, plus like Ohio, Iowa, and one of Florida and Texas, so the fact that he picked both up, and North Carolina to tie the state count, and almost won Georgia and Arizona as well was a shock

But to go back to the original question, I think that they probably knew deep down, but didn't want to say it to avoid any public reaction.
