Loser

"Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing."  -- Vince Lombardi

   Why do you suppose Donald Trump rejects the idea of another debate with Kamala Harris?
   From here, the answer is a fear of losing.
   By his standards, winning is the only thing of value. And since that can be usually measured by money, that means money is the only real measure of value.
   Therefore, winning equals money. And for him, that equation goes all the way to the White House.
   There has long been a standard among American politicians and government officials that they should not use their offices as a way to increase their wealth.
   At least, that's what they say. What they actually do is another issue.
   Many deny they do such a thing, that could be a road to prison. Even so, many do just that, in the hope they won't get caught.
   Oddly, all the publicity wrought by news reports about the recent debate conflict generates more money from devoted supporters.
   So even when he loses, his followers send more money, to compensate him for his efforts.
   Even thought he lost.
   Does this suggest he may deliberately lose in order to attract more cash?  Or just that he uses his loss to generate more income?
   Either way, he gains financially.
