...Nervous Mess.
Claims he was "set up" by her from the get-go.
But what really happened was that he was at a church (I think), and started launching into an attack on Clinton, she walked up to him on stage and stopped him.
Now he is on Fox this morning saying that she had it all planned from the beginning. (I think the clear undertone is that she is black, therefore she had it out for him at the beginning)
That's ok Don - just keep driving up turnout.

(129,877 posts)5. Did he mention that famous black Republican Armstrong Williams set this up?
Guess he's throwing Armstrong under the bus although Armstrong was actually originally a supporter and an advisor to Ben Carson and decided to jump on the Trump train late...so...
Trumps trip to Flint was organized, in part, by Armstrong Williams, the black owner of Flints NBC television affiliate and a business partner of Dr. Ben Carson, a Detroit native and former presidential candidate who is now advising Trumps campaign.
Williams introduced Trump and acknowledged the campaign trip was hastily organized on Monday.
In the invited audience at the church was youngster Mari Copeny, whose letter motivated President Barack Obama to visit Flint and taste its water in May. The Rev. Ira Combs, a prominent black Republican and pastor from Jackson, was also in attendance.
Combs said it is appropriate for Trump to visit predominately African-American Flint less than two weeks after visiting a black church in Detroit on Sept. 3.
