He, he, he…..

THIS IS the way Donald Trump works folks….

Punch…Beat …Run Over ANYTHING in you way of Winning…..

Bash and Tapper @ CNN or no exceptions….

Trump KNOWS Biden IS gonna beat him in the debate….

So?

He’s beating on the moderators to be the BAD guys he can whin and cry about….

It is just his normal way to operate…..

It didn’t work in his recent criminal trial, eh?

Former President Trump’s campaign is openly brawling with CNN ahead of Thursday’s blockbuster presidential debate, warning of a “three against one” ambush that can only favor President Biden.

Why it matters: Instead of “working the refs,” Trump and his allies are attacking them — seeking to set expectations early by accusing CNN moderators Jake Tapper and Dana Bash of anti-Trump bias.

• CNN anchor Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Trump campaign press secretary Karoline Leavitt Monday morning after Leavitt repeatedly tried to raise Tapper’s past critical coverage.
• The reaction from MAGA world was swift and deafening, prompting CNN to issue a statement defending Tapper and Bash amid the flood of pro-Trump criticism.

• The former president also suggested last week that Biden would be a “worthy debater,” raising expectations after months of claiming his rival could barely walk or form sentences.
• Trump then called on Monday for Biden to take a drug test ahead of the debate, as his allies promoted the baseless conspiracy theory that the president took stimulants for his fiery State of the Union address.

Between the lines: Trump’s playbook is well-worn by now: Claim the odds are “rigged” against him — in debates, in elections and in courtrooms — and then ride the outrage if he loses.

The bottom line: Suggesting Democrats could replace Biden as the nominee if he performs poorly, Trump quipped earlier this month: “I’ll make sure he stays. I’ll lose the debate on purpose, maybe I’ll do something like that.”….
