Trump's denial cycle:

Grossly overestimate your abilities
Don't make any work or effort whatsoever to prepare
Do or say something that makes you look like a complete idiot in front of everyone
Blame it on someone or something else and/or pretend that it didn't happen and/or that you were misunderstood and/or you were taken out of context and/or you were joking or being sarcastic because how could you make such a mistake if you are so smart? (you are here)
pretend that your opponent is the one who did it
cling onto that delusion and pile on the conspiracy theories
cycle repeats when he inevitably does something else stupid.
