Trump was asked why he didn’t bring up Clinton’s emails or Benghazi more.
His answer was to throw a tantrum about debate moderator Lester Holt, “He didn’t ask her about the emails at all. He didn’t ask her about her scandals. He didn’t ask her about her Benghazi that she destroyed. He didn’t ask her about a lot of things she should have been asked about. I mean there’s no question about it.”
When questioned about why Holt didn’t ask these questions, Trump said, “I don’t know. I didn’t think he did a bad job. You know, when you look at it the last four questions, he hit me on birther. He hit me on a housing deal from many years ago that I settled with no recourse and no guilt. He asked me about that. That’s a beauty to be asked a forty year old lawsuit or older….They were leaving all of her little goodies out. I was asked about my tax returns, which I told about five hundred times.”
Trump believes he did well when the questions were about “normal things,” which goes to show how delusional he is about his performance.
Donald Trump was also wrong about the final four questions of the debate. Three of the last four questions centered on foreign policy and the last question was about accepting the outcome of the election.
Trump’s memory of events is so mixed up that it suggests a candidate who was totally out of it at the debate.
Donald Trump is demanding that future debates focus on bogus scandals like Hillary Clinton’s emails and not facts like his refusal to release his tax returns the housing discrimination lawsuits filed against him.
The Republican nominee has spent too much time in the Fox News bubble, and he is throwing a fit because the rest of the country didn’t give him the kid gloves Fox News treatment.
