Trump angry at allies conceding he lost debate

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.

The Emperor's Clothes look awesome! We aren't changing a thing.

I am sure Kellyanne Conway is trying her best to make it clear far and wide that she was not to blame to for Trump's lack of preparation.

11. Will he concede when he loses the election

[BumRushDaShow]

13. He has already pre-declared that the election was "rigged".

[mopinko]

30. i'm wondering if the real reason the russians are hacking election computers

isnt to just scramble enough votes to sow doubt in the legitimacy of the election.
much easier to pull off. just hack a few machines so hard it is obvious, and the whole thing is up in the air.

[cheezmaka]

12. Sounds like a classic case of someone delusional....

just deny reality.... (or is it the "blow" talking? sniff sniff)

14. Now....who was to blame for Trumps lack of preperation???????????????????????????

Let's seeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee


Trump. himself..
Trump. himself..
Trump. himself..
Trump. himself..

15. Hmm.. all that perpetual anger and bluster ..

.. can't be good for his health... and stamina... and weight.

16. Who are these incompetents?......

They can't imagine putting this on a resume in the future....."worked for Trump campaign 2016". Is the paycheck that good? No morality, no decency. Letting themselves be browbeat and screamed at and abused by this maniac and his idiot children. Black is white, up is down, don't EVER disagree with me. It's really stunning.

[Nitram]

17. What a loser.

Donald Dump's biggest weakness is that he can't stand to lose.

[PatSeg]

18. I am quite sure that Kellyanne and the rest

would like to work again in the future. There is a limit to how much Trump can bully them, as this is a temporary gig, one that I'm sure most wish they'd not signed up for.

19. Kim Jung Trump

What a shit heel.

[Yonnie3]

20. At first glance I thought the headline was referring to foreign allies and ...

that Putin had dumped him.

21. You're doing great, Donnie! Don't listen to them--you're totally winning so hard doing what you're

doing.

Rosie O'Donnell will NEVER be President--you're making sure of that.

[adigal]

24. This is great for us!! It means that he won't do anything different next time

The thing about a narcissist is that he doesn't get that he isn't perfect, so how can they improve?? Anyone who wasn't a narcissist would realize what a disaster the other night was, and do everything in his power to not repeat that.

Yes!!

[onehandle]

25. TRUMP MAD!

[True Dough]

26. Just one more reason why he's not fit to be president

He cannot tolerate anyone disagreeing with him. "Winning temperament" and yada, yada, yada. Whatever!

[DFW]

27. "Trump wants his supporters to make an energetic defense of his performance"

Sort of like how Napoleon wanted his supporters to make an energetic defense of his performance at Waterloo?

Trump has the kind of ego that, after losing the election by 10 million votes, will demand a recount.

[Gothmog]

28. Trump is delusional and really believes that he won the first debate

[lark]

29. drumpf hates the truth!

Lie, you scoundrels, lie is the real message he's pushing. Be like me and lie every time you open your mouth, said the dastardly Dorito with the tiny hands.

[apnu]

31. Trump is right on that one. Supporters after any debate are supposed to declare victory. But...

... isn't Trump is supposed to be a master of finding and retaining the "best" people? So what does it say about Trump if he's bitching about all the incompetent boobs around him. Isn't that on him as a chief executive?

For that matter, if he's got the "best people" why has he replaced his campaign staff so many times?

33. The 2nd debate

I hope that the second debate he'll double down on the asshattery from this sting of defeat. That would be delicious
