20 years ago that would have been a political headline on an Onion article. Trump's The Onion manifested in an actual person. And his cult will believe him and say this is a good idea. Any flubs by Trump? Oh, he's just mocking Biden! Trump loses a debate Oh, he did it on purpose!
Although I don't think it's possible his followers could ever admit he lost to Biden in a debate. And he wants me to believe if he went 100% at the debate. He would be so powerful that Biden would have no choice but to drop out of the race? Trump actually believes this nonsense.
LOL. I remember watching him debate against Hillary, he was terrible. So I guess in his peabrain this is a way for him to have an excuse when he loses. "I lost? Ha, well I didn't even wanna win, so..." Admitting you think losing a debate could be the best gameplan is something only Trump could come up with.
