No, actually Trump WON the debate. Because he lied about pets getting eaten. Masterful strategy.

Is this the same Scott Adams of Dilbert fame? He's been a political weirdo for years and years, so naturally he'd allow himself this cognitive dissonance.
He fell into the trap of thinking his success came from being a genius, so when people don't like his crappy opinions he just assumes everyone else is wrong
This explanation is awesomely succinct and also explains some people I know that I could never easily pinpoint why they bothered me. Thanks!
That's tough. Good perspective, hopefully he'll see this and do some reflecting on his life. Probably not but I still hope so
Unfortunately people like him rarely do. He got Dilbert dropped from most papers in 2023 for (in the most charitable interpretation) having a completely tone deaf reaction to a poll about race relations. Rather than think about why everyone got so angry with him he said his words were taken out of context and that they were hyperbole.

I know he never would, but I really want him to give the proper context for that to not be offensive.
That's pretty funny in the sense of a company trying to sell themselves as diverse and whatnot while being really offensive to the actual people. I can see a corporation doing that
Yes it is. He went full MAGA early on.
