It's hilarious how much the Trump campaign and right wing media are panicking about this debate. They're doing everything in their power to preemptively craft narratives to justify his poor performance. Hell, last week Trump was saying he planned to lose "on purpose." Clown behavior.

Worthy? I bet he's a master debater!
Thank you for making the joke first so I can pretend I didn't come to this post to make it. I'm just here for important political conversations, yup.
I have no shame
Well. He's certainly not a cunning linguist...
If it's one thing my family is known for, it's our cunning linguist
We should ask Jill.
Right wing media has been doing such a bang up job attacking Biden's heath and mental fitness, that all he has to do is:
Show up
State full name
What day and time
Say "Person, woman, man, camera, TV,”and boom. Debate won. The bar is so fucking low, Vern Troyer could step over it with ease. (RIP Vern. I miss you man)
God, all Biden has to do is mention sharks and trump will talk about how he'd prefer to be electrocuted.
Trump: "If I'm reelected we won't stop at nuking the hurricanes - we're gonna nuke the sharks too and make Jason Momoa pay for it!"
Army of red-hatted morons: "NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS! NUKE THE SHARKS!"
How did this age?
Lol, like Trump will show up to a debate. Plus, I doubt his handlers will let him because of the dementia.
I've been waiting for a cancelation since it was announced. Trump agreed to mic muting? lol, okay, sure he did... I'll believe it when I see it
*when I don't hear it
Then he’ll complain, “they muted me!”
“… and right when I was about to win! Rigged!”
Hell just blame it on his candidacy and/ or court schedules.
My election interference case, where I fucked a porn star while my wife was recovering from child birth, makes it impossible for me to go to the rigged debate on failing CNN. -- Trump, probably
Not a chance... he's never included that much information in so few words.
Ah, the old "Make your oppenent look unhumanely strong because you know you wil lose anyway."
Followers must be convinced that they can overwhelm the enemies. Thus, by a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.
Classic fascist trope
It's pretty obvious to anyone paying attention, all the video of Joe looking lost these last couple weeks is a professional political rope a dope, problem is Trump's team knows it too
Literal spaghetti logic- throw everything at the wall and see what sticks
Any republicans with brain cells left will likely still vote for rfk
Those aren’t brain cells. Those are brain worms.
I saw a Hannity clip where he's now moved from "Joe Biden was on coke during the SOTU speech" to "maybe it was a caffeine pill". These nut jobs are getting their pants twisted over a completely imaginary scenario where the president takes caffeine...
This debate is going to be peak clown-world-shit-show.
Teleprompter ftw!1!!
I'll be very surprised if tRump shows.
