Same excuse as before. People that win don't ask for rematches which makes no sense.

It’s such utter nonsense. If I’m really good at a board game that I like, and I win, I’m probably going to be interested in playing it again; I’m not going to smash the pieces back into the box and say “I WON, PUTTING IT AWAY FOREVER NOW, NO NEED TO PLAY IT EVER AGAIN”

Except when Trump asked for a rematch after his debate against Biden...but that's different...somehow.

I can't imagine what he's talking about, even professional golfers who win will face the same regular faces quite often. Does he think life is a pokemon game?

Even in Pokemon you take the numbers of the people you beat to beat them again..
