Trump really wants you to know he won the debate

Donald Trump really wants you to know that he won the debate — big league.

Two days after Trump and Hillary Clinton battled it out during the most watched debate in American history, the Republican nominee is still tweeting about how he won.

Here are more than a dozen times Trump has tweeted about his debate win — citing unscientific online polls where there is no limit of the number of times you can vote — over the last two days.

Clinton and her team think the Democratic nominee easily won the debate and point to Trump’s increasing agitation and denial of statements that have already been proven untrue as reasons.

“I think there was only one commander and chief on the stage tonight and it was Hillary Clinton. I think that within the first 30 minutes or so, it was clear that Donald Trump was becoming unhinged before the American people’s eyes,” Clinton spokesman Brian Fallon told reporters in the spin room following the debate Monday night. “But I think actually if it was possible it only got worse for him in the latter two-thirds of the debate.”

And on Tuesday, campaign spokesman Jesse Lehrich trolled Trump with a tweet.
