[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-06-14 Donald “Brave Sir Robin” Trump is really shitting his pants about the first presidential debate on June 27th. It must have dawned on Dementia Don that accepting the Biden’s campaign proposal for the debates was a HUGE mistake. Since Trump accepting, he’s been lying that President Biden is on drugs (How else to explain Biden’s State of the Union Speech?). To get out of the debate, Trump has been insisting that President Biden take a drug test before the debate. Then Trump ordered Hannity to mouth the same lies on his TV show, and Hannity has “floated” the idea that Trump shouldn’t even take part of the debates because they will be “rigged.” The lastest is Dementia Don is now saying — wait for it — that HE WILL PURPOSELY LOSE THE FIRST DEBATE TO HELP BIDEN STAY IN THE RACE! During an interview with Steve Gruber for the right-wing Real America’s Voice on Thursday, presumptive GOP presidential nominee Trump once again baselessly claimed Biden will be fed “a lot of stuff” before the debate and once again called on the candidates to undergo drug tests beforehand. The talk turned to the possibility of Biden being replaced as the Democratic candidate, which Trump said he didn’t want to happen. “Well, you know, interestingly, they’ve done polling, and I do better against almost everybody,” said Trump. “And so they don’t want to take him off,” he continued. “Maybe I’m better off losing the debate. I’ll make sure he stays. I’ll lose the debate on purpose. Maybe I’ll do something like that.” 1) Trump and the right wing propaganda outlets are still pushing the lie that President Biden will NOT be the the Democratic nominee for president. This is a variation of the “He’s so fuckin’ old and senile” attacks that Republicans have been usuing against Biden since 2020. 2) The only people who have bought this lie are all REPUBLICANS, so I am not sure what it’s real effectiveness. I guess it is to somehow fool the independents and swing voters who don’t pay any attention to politics? 3) IF Trump is doing so much better than EVERYBODY, why should he want to supposedly help the Democrats at all? It simply shouldn’t matter either way. No, what we have here folks is a man who knows he is going to get an ass whooping during the debates, and he is already making excuses for losing. At the moment, Trump is desperately trying to figure a way out of the debates where he doesn’t look like a coward. But in the end, the choice for Trump is 1) run away and be labeled a coward by Democrats or 2) risk looking like the old man in cognitive decline that he is before a national TV audience. Trump will choose the first option and lie his ass off again to his adoring fans. The only question will be if the media will simply accept this blatant lie from Trump the he is not a coward. Sadly, I’m betting they will. Look at how they did not cover Trump lying about testifying during his trial. Trump put on a brave act stating he was going to testify, and in the end, Trump lied and said the judge wouldn’t let him testify! Brave Sir Robin indeed!
