Trump will not prepare for debating Kamala Harris. He believes he’s perfect

  1. As if it matters. He could show up, unleash the most nonsensical drivel ever uttered by a man, and the maggot cool-aid machine will celebrate their cult-king’s “dominance.”

    In fact, I’m certain that’s how it will play out.

  2. He is perfect. He’s stupid, greedy, hateful, does not care about anyone but himself. If you can find someone who is more perfectly horrible in every way, well, keep it to yourself because I don’t want to know that person.

    wtf would he prepare? Policy talking points? He’s an attack dog, he only has one trick and doesn’t need to practice it

  4. Another poorly thought-out, misleading article title that will be misinterpreted by Trump supporters to show what ‘stable genius’ he is. He is preparing and has been for a while. The man is scared:

    >Former President Donald Trump’s advisers may have publicly insisted he doesn’t need any debate prep, but the former president is preparing more than he’s letting on, sources tell ABC News.

    It doesn’t take much preparation to repeat lies about “dangerous criminals pouring into the country” he can’t debate anything but trumpsters are like amnesia patients so everytime he delivers the same line they cheer and nod.

  6. Another garbage article trying to lower expectations for today’s debate so anything short of literally crapping his pants will be seen as a “victory”. Don’t buy it.

  7. I actually think Trump has been doing a lot of prep work for this debate. That’s one of the reasons why he’s spent so little time campaigning over the past few weeks, his advisors have convinced him he needs to be well rested and prepared for tonight. Obviously he’s not preparing by drilling down on facts and learning to articulate his “policies” clearly and coherently, but I think he will come out tonight with some sort of plan. I have a lot of faith in Harris, but I was pretty sure the first debate between Trump and Biden was going to be good for Biden, so my optimism will remain very cautious for now.

  8. Trump can’t talk coherently, let alone *debate*. I’m so looking forward to Harris ripping him a new one.

    These Blumenthal articles are always so much fun because Blumenthal just goes off on Trump as a piece of trash, a whorish moron, a fat bridge and tunnel fuck, and you can absolutely tell it’s personal… Yet the hidden secret is that Blumenthal started the birther story to support Hillary Clinton, so he was complicit in creating this monster! 

  10. his team already lowered the bar for him in all kind of media outlets, so even his standard batshit crazy performance would be better then expected

  11. I would love to see her just completely ignore his presence. Nothing bugs a narcissist more than not being acknowledged.

  12. It’s all a show to Trump. He doesn’t want to “win” a debate. He just wants to be entertaining. Lying and insulting people makes his base happy. Facts and truth are boring and don’t grab ratings for him. His base is turned off when he stops saying crazy shit.

  13. Trump is definitely preparing to some extent. We already know he did a mock debate with Tulsi. But I do believe he is not preparing like other candidates would, including Harris.

    He’s not capable of doing full days of debate prep. He doesn’t have the physical or mental stamina. I suspect the long days of debate prep was a factor with Biden’s poor performance. Biden would have been better off going to the beach before the debate.

  14. This is the truest of truths
    ‘Bob Dole campaigned as the Republican candidate by saying he had “nowhere to go but the White House or home”. Trump campaigns knowing he has nowhere to go but the White House or the jailhouse.’

  15. He cannot retain anything from one day to another anyway. He will probably start raving against Hillary and complain about her spray tan.

  16. To be fair, look how far he’s gotten by Just being a blithering moron. Even I would probably have developed a God complex as well if I had armies of stupids sending me Money and telling me how I’m God’s chosen one for 8+ years while every Republican politician shuts down punishments for every crime that I commit.

  17. There is no debate. Trump does not debate. Trump will lie, accuse, and ramble. The press eat it up. The viewers are shellshocked.

    “*As I have stated regarding Trump Contagion, mere exposure is enough to “mesmerize” and “beguile”. What explains this race being close at all? The media continue to serve simply as vehicles for his spread of symptoms*.” – Dr Lee

    If Harris handles the debate smartly, not focusing on wonky answers, she will come out ahead. Regardless, giving the narcissist a platform is dangerous.

  18. He’s graded on such a curve it doesn’t matter what he says or does, he just needs to simply show up and be praised. Then you get to the real question, prepare for what exactly? Do you think he has policy points to memorize? Do you think he has non made up, sensible statistics to reference (remember everyone, 107% of new jobs go to illegal immigrants)? Do you think he has a vision for the future he’s willing to share?

    He will do two things, repeat “border, immigration, inflation, Afghanistan and fake news/hoax.” Then lie, lie again and just for good measure lie even more so there is no way to fact check anything he says. This is what he does. Given his cognitive decline, he doesn’t have the ability to do anything else.

    That’s what I’ve been seeing, but while watching ABC last night, they said he had several debate preps. Look, there’s not a news outlet out there that could convince me to vote for that guy, but does anybody report facts anymore? I can say I’m starting to believe the whole “fake news” stuff he’s spouted since 2015, but not the way he meant it.

    What’s funny and rather sad is he probably is as prepared as he can be for his own platform. His entire political career is based on him rambling incoherently about how terrible he thinks the world is using problems either distorted or entirely invented.

    Any amount of prep work would probably fuck him up, he’d be fumbling trying to insert a fact he doesn’t really understand into some unrelated talking point.

    His uneducated MAGA base won’t be able to tell the difference between facts and lies anyway.
