Trump's campaign dilemma

Trump bills himself as "smart" in business because he cheats (i.e. refuses to pay the agreed amount, lies -- or at least inconsistently represents -- property values and financial transactions) and leverages loopholes. But his explanation for why Biden won in 2020 is that Biden cheated which, if there were any way it were true, means Trump was beaten at his own game.

I think Biden's campaign can leverage this, especially via the Dark Bandon meme: Joe Biden didn't cheat, but (Dark Brandon) if he did, he cheated better than Trump -- and didn't get caught!

But I could see me using it against a fan of the defendant: "So, you're telling me that your hero got beat because that doddering, stuttering old man cheated better than your hero did and whipped his ass in 2020?" I can see that ending a lot of threads toot frickin' sweet.
