Trump is still obsessed with his humiliating election loss more than a year ago. and he continues to press forward with his delusional assertions of voter fraud for which neither he, nor his cartoonish mouthpieces <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51303\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">such as pillow magnate Mike Lindell<\/a><\/strong>, have ever been able to provide evidence. Undeterred by reality, Trump wrote that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe Fake News Media cannot stand the fact that so many people in our Country know the truth, that the 2020 Election was rigged and stolen, yet almost every article written contains the words the &#8216;Big Lie&#8217; or &#8216;unsubstantiated facts,&#8217; etc., always trying to demean the real results.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>There are good reasons that credible journalists use words like <em>&#8220;Big Lie&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;unsubstantiated facts,&#8221;<\/em> when referring to Trump&#8217;s fallacious election falsehoods. After a year, and more than sixty failed court challenges, Trump has produced nothing to support his bogus babbling. Continuing with his Twitter tirade, Trump said&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am willing to challenge the heads of the various papers or even far left politicians, who have perpetuated the Real Big Lie, which is voter irregularities and fraud on a massive and determinative scale. This includes members of the highly partisan Unselect Committee of Democrats who refuse to delve into what caused the January 6th protest\u2014it was the Fake Election results!&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>If Trump were truly interested in engaging the members of the bipartisan House Select Committee investigating the January 6th insurrection, he could just volunteer to testify before it under oath. Don&#8217;t hold your breath. His characterization of the riots in Washington as a <em>&#8220;protest&#8221;<\/em> affirm his support for the insurrectionists, and for violent and anti-democratic means to achieve his authoritarian goals.<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s more, Trump&#8217;s pretend invitation for a TV dialog implies that he thinks media executives and politicians would be willing to lower themselves to indulge his psychotic fantasies. That&#8217;s unlikely, and Trump knows it, as he reveals in his next sentence, saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;While I am willing to do it, they will never agree because they cannot argue that facts in states including Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada, New Hampshire, and others such as New Mexico, where the Democrat Secretary of State changed the voting laws without legislative approval just prior to the Election, making it virtually impossible for the Republican presidential candidate to win.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Needless to say, there are no facts that support Trump&#8217;s charges. If there were, he would have produced them long ago. Even the rabidly biased Cyber Ninjas who conducted the Arizona <em>&#8220;fraudit&#8221;<\/em> eventually concluded that <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=50788\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Joe Biden had legitimately won the election<\/a><\/strong> by an even wider margin than originally reported.<\/p>\n<p>However, Trump is admitting that he knew his debate challenge wouldn&#8217;t be accepted. Nor should it be. That would just be humoring a mentally disabled schizoid and his flagrant fallacies. In fact, a coward like Trump would never have suggested a debate if he thought that anyone would agree to it. Remember when he <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=31353\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">ditched a Fox News debate because Megyn Kelly was the moderator<\/a><\/strong>? Instead he staged a phony <em>&#8220;telethon&#8221;<\/em> for veterans, but tried to keep the donations for himself. But Trump still wasn&#8217;t through. He closed his rant saying that&#8230;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;If anyone would like a public debate on the facts, not the fiction, please let me know. It will be a ratings bonanza for television!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Here we have Trump daring <em>&#8220;anyone&#8221;<\/em> to take him up on his debate challenge for the only actual reason he might consider it: Television ratings. That&#8217;s the currency with which narcissists barter. Trump desperately wants to be relevant again, and a televised debate would indeed put him in front of a large audience.<\/p>\n<p>But it would still be a waste of time because Trump wouldn&#8217;t &#8211; and couldn&#8217;t &#8211; serve up proof of his claims in such a forum. It would just be another opportunity for him to disgorge lies and insults while shouting down his opponent.<\/p>\n<p>That said, it would be interesting from an entertainment perspective. So while no serious journalist or politician should sink to accepting this offer, perhaps someone like Michael Moore, or Al Franken, or Wanda Sykes, could consider it. After all, Trump did say <em>&#8220;anyone.&#8221;<\/em> Odds are Trump would slink away in fear as fast as he could waddle should he get such a response.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newscorpse.com\/ncWP\/?p=51383\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Trump is now dodging the debate he proposed<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color:blue;\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> Twitter suspended the News Corpse account after 11 years without giving a reason.
