the sheer absurdity of a donald trump

Trump angry at allies conceding he lost debate

Washington (CNN)Donald Trump is angry that his aides and advisers have conceded to reporters -- largely without attribution -- that the Republican nominee struggled in his first presidential debate.

In a conference call with surrogates Wednesday afternoon, Trump aides made clear the Republican nominee is upset that his allies publicly acknowledged they pushed him to change his preparation and tactics before his next bout with Hillary Clinton. And he wants them to stop it immediately.

The message was "not subtle," a source familiar with the call said.

Trump wants his supporters to make an energetic defense of his performance and refuse to concede that he didn't nail it.

Trump is playing a Reality TV Character,and the Character has taken over and it isn't pretty. Just plain ugly. But,Gramma Hillary's got this,and she will keep taking out the trash.

New this dufus was going to explode today. The Guy is so predictable as most Bullies are.
