“Trump thinks he won. He didn’t,” said a Republican with ties to the campaign. “But does anyone have the balls to tell him that? No. They’d be fired.” vanityfair.com/news/2020/09/t…
“Trump doesn’t accept the consensus that the debate was a disaster because, sources said, he was unabashedly himself.”
