    During an interview that aired Thursday on Real America’s Voice, Trump sought to lower expectations for his debate performance. He argued that Biden should take a drug test before the event.

    “They’re going to feed him a lot of stuff, and we should do a drug test,” he demanded. “I’d love to do a drug test beforehand.”

    Somebody needs to drug test Trump. Projection at it’s finest.

    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.

    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 🤦

    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.

    i mean, him trying to lose means, i assume, he’ll be even more rambunctious and off the cuff, meaning in public opinion it’ll be a resounding win
