Donald Trump could stop talking about his debate loss against Kamala Harris. He prefers to instead push ridiculous conspiracy theories about the event.

When Donald Trump lost a debate last week, he responded in a more Trumpian way. The New York Times reported on the Republican candidates rally in Las Vegas late last week.
This was, incidentally, a speech in which the GOP nominee was supposed to talk about the economy.....
Instead, the Republican told his followers that hed heard from whom, he did not say that Kamala Harris received the questions in advance (she did not) and wore an earpiece that allowed her to cheat (which is utterly false).
The Washington Posts Dan Balz who hardly has a reputation for being a bomb-throwing ideologue explained in a notable analysis, Former president Donald Trump has long inhabited a bizarre world of his own creation. He rewrites history or makes it up entirely to aggrandize himself, denigrate others and spread the basest of lies. It keeps getting worse. Since Tuesdays debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, hes spiraled ever deeper into conspiracy theories, falsehoods and grievances.
Despite all of this, NBC News reported that the Republican nominee left open the possibility of another debate with Harris, saying it might happen if he were in the right mood. Trump said that the day after issuing a written statement that said, in no uncertain terms, THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!
So, whats likely to happen next? Watch this space.
Over the course of an hour and 20 minutes, Mr. Trump ranted about the moderators of Tuesdays debate. ... And even as Mr. Trump continued to insist that he had been victorious in the debate though some of his allies have acknowledged he had a rough outing he accused Ms. Harris of wearing an earpiece in their matchup, a baseless claim that has proliferated on right-wing social media. And he said that Ms. Harris had obtained the questions in advance, an assertion for which there has been no proof.

try that. He couldn't do it.

over the voices in his head. He would be so confused he would short out completely. Not a long way to go to that.
