8. No, he wasn't sniffing and seemed much more focused and coherent.

His sentences were complete, no slurring, He was like the old Donald. Somebody must've given him something other than the usual substance.

11. Of course. But he wasn't high in the usual way where his mind wanders and word salads come out.

This was so much more aggressive and relentless, the energy. I think that's why it was so disturbing.

Trump has no way to defend himself on anything except the usual lying, so the constant vicious attacks were the only way to be on the offense and not look weak.

Abusive Bully on the Planet.. which in turn makes him "weak" in my book.

Now I read he's blaming Chris Wallace so that means he concede he didn't win. As people are pointing out.. the winners don't attack the refs.

But he did not delve into it at all & let the Con lie himself thru it.

13. Wallace asked more than once if tRump paid $750.00 in federal taxes.

tRump straight up lied that he had paid millions. Asked again for a couple of specific years, he lied again saying he paid millions. Lied, lies, lies.

When things get chaotic and there is a lot of cross talk, it is easy to lose track of what has been said. If it would not make me ill, it might be helpful to rewatch it and stop the tape to listen to what was actually said. Biden was accused of not answering some questions but when what happened, tRump interrupted him and ate up time. It is a tactic and he used it but he should not be allowed to get away with that again.

himself out of his depth. He loses in any conversation, exchange of ideas. It’s easier to insult and be obnoxious, and be criticized for that than being humiliated for making ignorant bleach-type statements.

Basically, he’d rather be hated than laughed at.
