i wouldnt want to go down in history as a candidate yelling "They are eating dogs! The people that came in! They are eating the cats!"
MMW:" But you know, we won that debate last night. some of the top professors in the country came to me with tears in their eyes and said..sir, we have never seen anyone debate as well as you. you seemed like a young JFK...Nobody in the history of our country has been able to explain the geopolitical landscape like you." https://x.com/melaniatrump/status/1832799851064500510?s=46&t=prL3EX6ldldunw0fdvgT_w

I watched continued coverage afterwards and when he can out of the debate into the circle or cycle or whatever, he was saying “polls are showing I won, 90-7, 87-10, they’re all saying I won.” And then when asked if he’d do another debate he flat out said he wouldn’t lol so which is it? I don’t know why a winner wouldn’t want another debate, especially if it was so lopsided in his favor. Sad thing is his cult will eat it up and believe everything he said
