Marc Caputo: “Donald Trump doesn’t admit to mistakes, but he knew he made one Sunday morning.”
“For 96 minutes, at his first of his three rallies that day, Trump barely looked at his teleprompter. He darkly obsessed about election fraud, railed against polls showing him down, and savaged the ‘bloodsuckers’ in the news media, adding he wouldn’t mind if ‘the fake news’ took an assassin’s bullet for him.
”“The crowd laughed. Privately, campaign staffers groaned. Trump sounded as if he were losing. And this was no way to start the week or close out a presidential campaign with three days left until Election Day.”
Said one confidant: “He knew after he got off stage.”
