Because he won! That’s also why he raced to the spin room where his Sean Hannity could soothe his narcissistic injuries.

If he’s scared to make eye contact with Kamala Harris, no one can believe he will stand up to despots, tyrants and dictators. On the other hand m, we saw that she has the chops to stare down a (wannabe) dictator.

According to Trump, the only reason she’s asking for another debate is because she lost the first…
Donald Trump has exhibited a lifelong pattern of behavior of claiming victory in the face of defeat. He learned it from Roy Cohn of course, one of the most vile human beings to ever disgrace humanity with his presence.
Trump’s narcissism knows no bounds, he’s not just always right, but never wrong, infallible, beyond reproach, and incapable of wrongdoing in his mind and the mind of his followers.
Which is why they believe so firmly in the idea that, “if we lose, you cheated.”
The so-called party of “personal responsibility” can’t seem to take responsibility for a damn thing, unless of course Trump is taking credit for things he has no business taking credit for.
Donald Trump infamously once said to a reporter back in 2016:
> When I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same. The temperament is not that different.
Hmm, every once in a while Trump actually does tell the truth.
And it’s not just a matter of “if we lose, you cheated.” It’s the disturbing reality that Trumpism is its own religious order. Which, consequently, makes Trump God, and Gods can do no wrong.
Trump’s rhetoric amounts to the words of a prophet, so all those lies he tells are truths to his supporters.
Trump has been crying rigged for decades. He’s spent his lifetime evading accountability by exploiting his wealth and privilege and gaming the justice system, which is partly why he conflates accountability and “persecution.” He’s so used to getting away with it.
His followers also conflate the two, and in the same way they confuse equality with oppression. Partly a result of a combination between an unparalleled sense of entitlement and heavy doses of fearmongering propaganda that appeals to Trump supporters and their many grievances. They are desperate to be constant victims of this or that radical plot/conspiracy manufactured by their leftist oppressors.
Trump is the greatest snowflake of them all, life is a zero sum game, and he is always the winner, no matter what.
And the audacity of it is baffling. This is a man who has been involved in over 4,000 legal cases, a man who cheats at everything. On his wives, on his taxes, even at golf. He is a serial adulterer, fraud, and con artist. He obstructs justice and commits financial fraud whenever the opportunity arises. He lies about his wealth and even threatens to sue anyone who speculates about his actual worth. His financial worth is debatable, but his worth as a human being is a foregone conclusion.
So, yes, in the face of defeat, Trump will always claim victory, his followers will always try to rationalize a loss, paint him as the victim, and conjure up whatever conspiracy theories they can to help them affirm their beliefs and their feelings.
This is why conspiracy theories are so attractive to conservatives. They’ve already come to their conclusions, regardless of the facts, the evidence, the reality of the situation. And by embracing these “alternative facts” they can ignore or dismiss the actual facts of the matter for the sake of protecting Trump and validating their *feelings.*
In other words, it allows them to connect point A to point B without regard for anything in the middle.
So what happens?
Lost elections become rigged.
Facts, negative coverage and criticism become “fake news.”
Investigations become “witch hunts”
Indictments and convictions become “the weaponization of the justice system.”
Poor debate performances become engineered by the opposition
Acts of right wing political extremism become “false flags.”
Disastrous policies and outcomes become the other team’s fault.
Blustering and incoherent remarks become the words of a misunderstood, stable genius.
Every failure becomes part of some orchestrated scheme by “the deep state”
Every journalist who isn’t lobbing Trump softballs becomes a cruel, vindictive, liberal hack
Every Republican defector becomes a “RINO”
Every former staff member or colleague that speaks out against Trump becomes a disgruntled, inept opportunist
Every responsibility is someone else’s problem
Every condemned bigot, racist or xenophobe is a victim of “the left’s” unceasing “woke” agenda.
Every loss is a victory…
And the list goes on and on.
Yes, this is how temperamental first graders think. “If we lose, you cheated,” is just one aspect of it. The broader pattern of thinking is “Trump is never wrong,” “*WE* are never wrong.” In their minds it’s as black and white as good vs evil, Trump vs all the cruel, oppressive, corrupt forces trying to take him down. And if you believe otherwise, *you’re* the liar, *you’re* “fake news,” *you’re* “brainwashed.” Every loss is a victory, and every victory is in spite of all the evils of the world working against them.
It is that solid yellow streak going down his back again.
The same on that got him medical so he didn’t have to go to Vietnam.

Trump has certainly watched the debate and recognizes he was openly mocked through most of the debate. It’s all ego for this dude. He was laughed at. He’s even changed up the clown show that travels with him.

Cmon now guys.
Scott Jennings made the point that Trump has already done SEVEN debates, so why should he debate again.
I’m not even kidding that Jennings actually said this on CNN as a reason to defend Trump’s decision not to debate Harris again. Debates from 2016 & 2020 against other candidates are apparently supposed to count in 2024.
plz-let-me-in on
Honestly it might be better off this way. Now all people will remember is his disastrous performance in his one debate with Harris, where he demonstrated that he’s unqualified to be President and mentally unfit to hold any elected office. I hope everyone continues to hound him on his mental acuity like they did with Biden after the first debate.
And yes, Trump is a coward as well.
