Classic unnecessary hedge of a narcissist.
No matter how badly he’s trounced, his cult following will scream to the heavens that he won handily.
In spite of knowing this and in spite of the fact that losing a debate on purpose makes ABSOLUTELY no sense no matter how you look at it, he just can’t handle anyone, even his most ardent critics, knowing that he’s not infallible 🤦
Donald Trump isn’t asexual!
He’s also not a banana…yet.
I TURNED MYSELF INTO A BANANA BARON
IM DONANALD TRUMP
Translation: I was too stupid to realize that the other guy might actually call my bluff and too much of a sociopathic narcissist to realize I’m Dunning-Kruger level incompetent and am going to declare that I am victorious regardless of my state of dementia. Also I’m going to increase the chocolate ration from 25 grams to 20 grams per week.
Watching these two old fucks sweat and strain to have a coherent debate while some corporate journalist moderator stammers in the background is probably the last thing I’d ever want to do.
Wtf you talking about? Biden kicked ass at the last debate.
Come on man!
Trump said he did not want Biden removed from the Democratic ticket even though he polls better than other contenders.
“Well, you know, interestingly, they’ve done polling, and I do better against almost everybody,” he opined. “And so they don’t — they don’t want to take him off. It depends.”
“Maybe I’m better off losing the debate,” Trump added. “I’ll make sure he stays. I’ll lose the debate on purpose. Maybe I’ll do something like that.”
How the hell does this make any sense? Barring Biden dropping dead or something, there is zero chance he is going to be removed as the nominee. Trump’s performance, or even Biden’s himself, at any debate isn’t going to change that. The fact that this is a Trump/Biden race has been pretty much etched in stone for months.
But this is Trump and this is how he operates. It’s how he handles his own weaknesses: Rather than admit he has faults, he just preemptively says “If I fail at <thing>, its because the whole system is rigged!”. Why? That way, when he inevitably fails at the thing (which almost always happens), he’s got a built in excuse that his base will eat right up.
Remember when pundits used to talk about Donnie was ‘playing 3d chess’. They were trying to project he was this super smart negotiator, etc.
Funny how we don’t hear those claims anymore, dontcha think?
I let you win, I no lose
Okay felon
lol he’s even backpedaling what would for anyone else be s layup
Sure you will, big guy
My controller was disconnected folks
If I played my hardest, I would have broken the controller.
Also lag.
Tremendous lag!
Hyuge lag. Best you’ve ever seen, and no one knows more about it than me.
“Yeah, well I’m going to start losing even harder!”
lol “on purpose.”
Wimp Lo energy.
“Ha ha! I am bleeding. Making me the victor!”
Of course he is saying that he will be losing the debate on purpose. He knows that he will lose any real debate, so by pre-announcing this, people might actually believe he did this on purpose.
“I was only pretending to be retarded!”
It doesn’t really work for internet contrarians when they get put on blast for having shit opinions on political forums, but why the fuck is it actually working in real life?
Trump is so embarrassing that I don’t see how anybody can actually genuinely like the guy. Is his only redeeming quality at this point just the fact that he enrages everyone left of center? Because aside from that and grifting money from people, he doesn’t seem to stand for much else.
You know when you work with someone and they get attractive over time? That’s basically the right and trump.
They also see themselves in him.
“I am bleeding, making me the victor.”
How do you like my balls to your foot style?
Such a technique! Only a true master of the Face-to-Foot style could pull this off on an international broadcast.
So glad it wasn’t just me that immediately thought of him.
“I’m sure on some planet your debate techniques are quite well thought you, but your problem is this is Earth.”
“What’s the vector, Victor?”
Roger Rodger this is Ovér, Over.
Will you shut up, man
That is such a great line because it is exactly what everybody wants to personally say to Convicted Felon and Sex Offender Treason Trump
