While campaigning in New Hampshire, Trump said, “And then I had to put up with the anchor, I had to fight the anchor all the time on everything I said – what a rigged deal. I’ll tell you we’re in such a rigged system. It is terrible. What’s going on in this country is so sad, but it will change. Remember, November 8th. November 8th.”
Trump only has ten days until the next debate, but he is still whining about losing a debate that occurred four days ago. Once the polls came out, that showed that voters universally believed that Trump was crushed in the debate, his tone changed from believing that Lester Holt did a good job to claiming that Holt rigged the debate against him.
Donald Trump’s childish tantrums boil down to when Trump wins, the moderator was great. When Trump loses, the moderator was out to get him. DonaldTrump never takes personal responsibility for anything that goes wrong. There is always someone else to blame.
Lester Holt didn’t rig the debate. Donald Trump flat out lost.
