Trump's denial cycle:

  • Grossly overestimate your abilities
  • Don't make any work or effort whatsoever to prepare
  • Do or say something that makes you look like a complete idiot in front of everyone
  • Blame it on someone or something else and/or pretend that it didn't happen and/or that you were misunderstood and/or you were taken out of context and/or you were joking or being sarcastic because how could you make such a mistake if you are so smart? (you are here)
  • pretend that your opponent is the one who did it
  • cling onto that delusion and pile on the conspiracy theories
  • cycle repeats when he inevitably does something else stupid.
