This is way up there with the stupidest excuses Trump has ever made:
“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,” Trump said during an interview with Real America’s Voices the day he visited with Congressional Republicans.
This is press control prior to the event. This is so he can say that he didn’t lose due only to his own incompetence.
Or so his supporters can say that he didn’t lose due only to his own incompetence.
