Trump unhappy he's not getting enough praise for his 'fantastic' debate performance
On Saturday morning, Donald Trump took to his Truth Social platform to claim, without a shred of evidence, that he was "fantastic" when he took on President Joe Biden during Thursday night's first 2024 presidential debate.
Then he complained because too much attention was paid to Biden in the aftermath.
Despite multiple commentators stating Biden lost the debate more than the former president won it with what CNN claimed were over 30 documented lies, Trump asserted that his appearance was universally acclaimed, going so far as to say some unnamed commentators asserted that he "had the greatest debate performance in the long and storied history of Presidential Debates."
Specifically, Trump wrote, "As I walked off the stage on Thursday night, at the end of the highly anticipated 'Debate,' anchors, political reporters and all screamed that I had had the greatest debate performance in the long and storied history of Presidential Debates. They all said, effectively, 'Trump was fantastic!'"
He then complained that he was not getting continuing praise he claimed was being lavished on him later Friday.
"This theme was universal, even at CNN & MSDNC, but by Friday evening it was all about the poor performance of Crooked Joe, and not so much about how well I did," he whined. "Oh well, that’s the way it is but, importantly, the result is the same!!!"
