When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.” Polls clearly show that I won the Debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Democrats’ Radical Left Candidate, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a Second Debate. She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our Country, with millions of criminals and mentally deranged people pouring into the USA, totally unchecked and unvetted, and with Inflation bankrupting our Middle Class. Everyone knows this, and all of the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe – It was discussed in great detail during the First Debate with Joe, and the Second Debate with Comrade Harris. She was a no-show at the Fox Debate, and refused to do NBC & CBS. KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!

He mad.

hes finally realised the world is actually laughing at him. its not just an insult people say. Everyone is literally laughing at how stupid and incompetent this weird felon is

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 61 points 1 month ago (4 children)

The trailer for the Trump biopic coming out soon has a line that explains a lot. "No matter what happens, claim victory." (I may be paraphrasing)

Trump obviously took those words to heart, because it is something he lives by. It may actually be the only thing he really believes in.

Trump in all likelihood has known people laugh at him for decades. This isn't news to him. This is the same strategy he's always had. No matter what, claim victory. Reality isn't important. He will keep saying he won, always, no matter what happens.

Strong Bad said it best: "It's like, even when we win, he wins."

With Trump, I think this goes way deeper than a learned strategy to claim victory no matter what. Trump has narcissistic personality disorder, and his brain can't conceive of a situation where he doesn't win. At his core are such deep-seated insecurities about himself that the only way his brain can cope with itself is to never show vulnerability by creating a fictional narrative in which he's the winner all the time. It would be incredibly pathetic if it weren't so terrifying. Someone like him who wasn't born into extreme wealth would be lonely and broke right now

Point 3 has been ongoing since 2015

[–] Aermis@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago (3 children)

It's the point 6 where I think you might be deadly wrong. I hope you're not. But they're a lot more prepared this time, with judges in position to create enough scrutiny to question the election results, long enough to cause a lot of people who care get their beliefs reinforced that the country is lost to cheaters, and are ready to do a lot more than Jan 6.

He's rightfully afraid.

Since he supposedly won the debate I guess he got a ton of donations....

Nope but Harris raised 47 M while his stock price instantly dropped. Hmmm.

[–] CatsGoMOW@lemmy.world 76 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He wanted to debate Biden again. That mean he thinks he lost the first debate against Biden?

You cannot "gotcha" Trump or the MAGA crowd.

"that's not what he meant" from the guys who brought us who "tells it like it is"

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

… but it is was sarcasm, clearly

[–] Sumocat@lemmy.world 56 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do appreciate that he claims losers demand rematches without acknowledging that he is in a rematch after he lost 2020. Meanwhile, his wingman says celebrity billionaires should stay out of politics. Not a shred of self-awareness.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

No no, Trump owes too much to Russia and the Saudi's. So he's not actually a billionaire but a desperate rat who has his debtors breathing down his neck. Therefore there is no conflict of interest!

He says he won and Kamala is proposing a "rematch". If he actually believes that he won he would gladly take the rematch. But he declines it, because he didn't win. He knows he didn't win and he is afraid that another debate would mean his utter defeat. All he is doing now is damage control.

He must've lost the Biden debate then because he wanted another one. 🤔

Trump was later heard saying

She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb. In the shape of an "L" on her forehead.

This guy and his name calling lol. What grade is he in?

"I won the Debate." - lol, what?? There were no points. No one won. It was merely a chance for each candidate to appeal to the voters.

"Everyone knows this" - No they don't. If everyone knew that, he wouldn't be saying it just like he's not saying that we're on planet Earth because everyone already knows that.

"KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEAR PERIOD." - She was the Vice President. Her role is basically to break ties in the Senate and go to social gatherings to fill in for the President.

"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" - Cause he saw how much it affected him in the polls. If the debate had helped him, he'd be calling for more debates. It would make no sense to be losing but declining debates because it helped the polls.

He must have seen how stupid he looked up there. She was laughing at him with his stupid pet-eating rant. The dude tanked his chances with that part alone. The "concepts of a plan" was just a bonus.

Can someone please explain what's up with the random capitalization that every Republican - and particularly Trump - always seems to use? By my count, he unnecessarily capitalized at least 14 words.

[–] ThePantser@lemmy.world 26 points 1 month ago

Old people think caps means important, but it just means old man yells at cloud.

[–] vividspecter@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

Online scam artists tend to do it, along with random emphasis. It just makes the person using it seem illiterate to me, but we're not the target market.

Think dick pills, pick up artists, conspiracy theorists, and so on.

She was a no-show at the Fox Debate

Fox asked offering three possible dates and he declined. But his idiots will believe him because everything he says is basically direct from God. Psychos.

It's really hard for me to comprehend why people are voting for this guy. He's so childish. Thinnest skin in the world. I don't get it.

He's like any other pampered rich person when they don't get their way. I can't wait until he rots in house arrest.

When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, “I WANT A REMATCH.”

Sounds like he was this close 🤏 to realizing that politics isn't sports nor entertainment there... Although to be fair, his base certainly seems to treat it that way

Honestly I just want to see Trump in a town hall, like the famous Obama v Romney one from whence Ken Bone got his fame. That would be a fuckin show. Give Trump a mic but also give a mic to a few dozen people who can also respond to him.

Trump's achilles' heel is pride and ego. He surrounds himself with yes-people to constantly stroke that ego.

But he isnt dumb. He must know (maybe deep down) that she got under his skin and as a result she embarrassed him on national TV.

He cannot risk any more detriment to the ego.

There wasn't a first debate. That was more of an ass-whipping. It was like watching a has-been WWE clown try to go into the ring with Tyson at his prime. Trump never engaged in debate, he just blathered and yammered like a demented, incontinent old racist.
