Donald Trump throws complete fit after Debate Commission announces rules changes
Just how poorly did the debate go for Donald Trump? Not only does every poll say that he lost the debate, his wildly inappropriate behavior has prompted the Debate Commission to announce rules changes going forward, specifically to keep Trump from trying to talk over Joe Biden the entire time.
You’d think that after getting his butt kicked so badly in the first debate, Donald Trump would be looking to change strategy. Instead he’s apparently intent on doubling down on his strategy of yelling like an idiot the whole time, and he’s outraged that the rules are being changed.
Trump posted this tweet: “Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time?”
This is somewhat remarkable. It suggests that Donald Trump might actually believe he won the first debate, despite all evidence to the contrary. This would suggest that his handlers and babysitters are feeding him false information about debate polling, and trying to keep him sated by convincing him that he really is somehow winning. They’re not doing him any favors.
