So I tried to install pip and I just couldn't get it to work. Can someone please tell me what is wrong?

Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\users\user\appdata\local\programs\python\python38-32\python.exe"  "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38-32\Scripts\pip.exe" install requests'
PS C:\Users\User> python -c "import pip.__main__"
