Donald Trump Makes His Bad Week Worse By Claiming He Won Debate Despite Bad Mic

Last updated on July 17th, 2023 at 09:16 pm

Donald Trump is having a very difficult time still with the results of Monday’s debate. First, he won, he said, citing meaningless online polls; then he blamed his defeat on conspiracies and bad microphones.

Now he’s back to saying he won even though he had a bad microphone.

The one-sentence from the commission was as follows:

“Regarding the first debate, there were issues regarding Donald Trump’s audio that affected the sound level in the debate hall.”

Trump complained that the mic gave him more trouble than Hillary Clinton. Considering how badly Hillary beat him, that mic must have been possessed. And of course, Trump is hinting at nefarious conspiracies.

Of course, the mic that was bad was for the audience in the hall, not for the television audience. The “one-sided spin” he complains about are what the rest of us call facts. There is not one scientific poll that says he won the debate.

He next demanded to know why nobody fixed his mic – the mic that didn’t matter to the outcome of the debate.

Donald Trump has had another very bad week, and as always, it is his fault, and as always, he blames it on everybody else even as he goes about making it worse.

The only real problem Donald Trump had with the mic on Monday night, was that his mic was turned on.
