Trump couldn’t resist responding, “Let me say one thing before I start on that. My father gave me a very small loan in 1975.”
It didn’t take long for Donald Trump to break apart. The Republican nominee can’t keep it together. He was shouting within moments of the beginning of the debate, and it is clear that Trump’s debate prep was clearly about winging it.
Trump is already off his moorings, and this is not going well for the Republican Party.
