Always double down, never admit fault.
In that way, he's predictable.

It’s like the ending of the movie Brazil. Pan back and we see Trump smiling to himself and one adviser says to another ‘we’ve lost him’.
I blame the transgender aliens
Here! Here! Those motherfuckers ate ma good boi.
This is how we know that he thinks he lost.
I think some of RFK’s brain worms🪱 slid into a ripe new vessel

So the debate was rigged to make you look bad, but you did great at the debate? Which is it?
Don't expect internal consistency from the guy who says media can't be trusted and is fake news, but immigrants are eating people's dogs and cats because someone said it on TV.
Kamala stole my ideas on the economy. She's a Marxist. She stole my ideas though.
How it started:
She has no plan. Look at her plan. She has no plan.
How it's going:
I have the concepts of a plan.

If she won the election, the day after that election, go back to destroying our country and oil will be dead. Fossil fuel will be dead. We'll go back to windmills and we'll go back to solar, where they need a whole desert to get some energy to come out. You ever see a solar plant? By the way, I'm a big fan of solar
-Smart Man DJT
What else will you do with a desert? Build cities that will dry up more lakes and rivers? Just cover the whole fucking desert in solar and power the country. The guy is so dense.

Trump is a psychopath that should not be allowed to drive a car let alone a country.
His presidency, and presence in politics at all beyond the local kook level, is a strong indication that the US is a failed state circling the toilet.

Now that's a poll I can get behind.
Yeah, but he has millions of shares he paid nothing for.
He's going to be the only one who doesn't lose money, because he paid nothing for his stock.
Even if it's $0.01 the day he can sell, it's all profit.
Someone has to buy the stock that he sells. It doesn't magically turn into money cause it has a listed value that day.
Sure, there can be some money laundering and foreign "investments" but the SEC really doesn't like stock manipulation.
The SEC doesn't do jack shit about anything. The SEC are toothless pretend watchdogs created by and staffed by former stock marketers who exist for the sole purpose of making the public think there is oversight and accountability.
It is the stock market version of the police's internal affairs.

Trump's base never catches on to the endless excuses this man has. 9 years no healthcare plan. Attacking and lasing out and then expect anyone who isn't them to be nice to them and treat them with respect lol.
They all kind of know it. It's just that probably they think that all politicians are dirty and so they are happy with their extra dirty guy. They also like the bigotry.
why are you lying? he said he has concepts of a plan. that's as good as implementing healthcare in my book.
do you even know how hard that is? he's in the history books for being the first person to discover that healthcare is complicated.
They have a victimhood complex and their chosen propagandists back up their feelings with lie after lie about how they're all poor victims of the big bad liberal. They don't see these things as excuses, they're "perfectly legitimate complaints" to them :(
He looked like a doddering old man who didn't know where he was or what he was saying.
They didn't do great, the RNC should be investigated for elder abuse.
Whiny little bitch boy
Last night, to my wife: "He's going to claim ABC was rigged against him and that the debate moderators were slanted against him"
This morning:
So predictable.
"Rigged" is a consistent word he uses when he doesn't get his way. Let's not forget that what he says is also a projection, so he's totally going to try and "rig" the election where he can to give himself any advantages. And then on a loss will throw anything he can at the system to claim once again that he was cheated.
The second the moderators fact checked him I told my wife, he's going to say it's rigged and it was a conspiracy between ABC and the Democrats. It was really awesome to him flounder when they did that. Just a flat, "There is no state in which it's legal to kill a baby. And now to Harris"
dude was fired and now he's crawling back to the same job like worm. Just find a new job dude

The minute Trump sells even a single one of his stocks, it's over. The price will be $0 in minutes. The only ones that are left are the ones that are betting that he'll win in November and send the stocks soaring. If Trump even signals that he's looking to cash out, the investors will trample over his fat ass to make sure they get out before he does.

I love that his campaign kept complaining about Harris not getting fact checked as hard.
Harris definitely spun a few things, but she wasn’t throwing out crazy ass lies like eating pets and throwing out newborn babies.
Apparently Trump thinks his hurt feelings are a bread-and-butter issue for most Americans.

Trump is a cum stain on america
What a whiny baby.
ABC is a network that doesn't have an FCC license. Each individual local station is an FCC licensee. They're the ones that are responsible for the content they air.
Why should Trump be expected to understand how federal agencies work?
Mostly true. ABC network does own licenses in some markets.
Trump or any other political figure can’t just pull a license for no reason though. FCC is pretty good about that
