When you surround yourself with sycophants, of course nobody will tell you when you fuck up. People who can’t accept criticism always end up in a bubble of unreality that’ll grow and grow until it pops.
Oh man, if word gets back to Trump that some of his advisors told CNN behind his back that they were stunned (in a bad way) by his debate performance, he’s going to completely lose his damned mind. It’ll push him into a massive paranoia complex. The screaming, the tantrums, the threats against his own team… They will be unreal.
So… Who wants to ping him on Twitter about this? 😈
When you want to be like Putin so badly you adopt his leadership style:

While multiple Trump allies described what happened, last night, as a missed opportunity, for the former President, they have since started downplaying the debate’s significance overall, arguing that it won’t shift his numbers, with voters, in states like Pennsylvania.

Hey buddy, leave some commas for the rest of us!
Over the last 24 years, the first Presidential debate has moved polling numbers by barely 1.5 points. Polarization and calcification are a hell of a thing.
Not entirely unlike Jill Biden telling Joe he’d done a good job, when clearly the opposite had happened.
I think there’s a difference between campaign advisors and your wife though.
Well, it’s not like First Lady Convict was going to be supportive, so someone had to do it.
Hillary, it’s been 26 years, we get it.
