Tilt
noun
Tilt is a poker term for a state of mental or emotional confusion or frustration in which a player adopts a suboptimal strategy, usually resulting in the player becoming overly aggressive.
At the moment when Trump gets shot I think a lot of people seem to be like, oh, he’s just going to win the election, right? And then he picks JD Vance and I think got a little arrogant. And then, you know, again, in poker, when you go from having a big stack, and then you lose a big pot, then you lose another big pot, and then you go on tilt, and before long, you have no chips left in front of you.
