Trump: ‘I’m the GOAT in Debates ... I Walked off that Stage and I Thought I Had the Best Debate’

GUTFELD: “I kind of wanted to touch it, but I knew I would have been tackled. I would have enjoyed it. But it is interesting to see the response to the second attempt. Every time you are under a bigger threat, the media still blames you even more.”
Trump: “Yeah.”
GUTFELD: “It’s almost as if they don’t see their own role in this. Have you just basically accepted this as a fact?”
Trump: “I think so. Look, the media is extremely dishonest. Extremely corrupt, actually. Look at the debate. I walked off, I said that’s the — you know, they said I am the GOAT in debates, because I had a lot of debates and I became president, and the GOAT means ‘greatest of all time.’ He’s a GOAT. But I walked off that stage and I thought I had the best debate. And I was very unfairly treated by the anchor, I am not fans of those guys anymore. And his hair was better five years ago than it is now.
(Laughter)
That happens. That happens with the clock. You know, they came at me on everything, like crime. I said that crime is rampant, he said crime is down. I said, ‘Crime is down?’ Without even knowing. And I was right. The following day, the DoJ announced numbers — I don’t know who it was in the DoJ, but somebody over there likes me — that crime is up 45 percent, murder is up, numbers like you would not even believe. And anybody would know that without even seeing charts. But it turned out to be a false attack. They attacked the word ‘the bloodbath.’ I was referring to the auto industry. You know all these things. Charlottesville was totally debunked by everybody, including Laura. Laura did a whole show on it, how it’s so ridiculous.”
GUTFELD: “And even Snopes, which is a left-wing site.”
Trump: “That’s right, they even said. But all of them. And they did not correct her once, and they corrected me everything I said practically, I think nine times, or 11 times. And the audience was absolutely — they went crazy. And the real — I walked off, I said, ‘That was a great debate. I loved it.’ You know, you had a lot of people watching, I guess we had 75 million people watching, something like that. You have to do well, you can’t do badly. For instance, Biden didn’t do so well in the previous debate, because I had two debates — we actually had two debates, you know? I had one against the man and then they said, ‘He is not doing well. Take him out, put in a new one.’ And if she doesn’t do well, I wonder if they will take her out. Just keep putting them and let’s see if they get it right eventually.
(Applause)
No, but a thing like that hasn’t happened before. You know, it’s like a fighter. He knows more about fighting, but I love the fighting. Dana White, all those guys, Dana is great — “
TYRUS: “Well, your history of boxing is second to None.”
Trump: “I’ve been to more Mike Tyson fights than anybody. Mike is great, they are all great. And they’re amazing people, brilliant. It is very hard thing to be a fighter. Number one, you have to be able to take hundreds of shots to the face within a couple of rounds and enjoy coming out to the fifth round. You know, a lot of great athletes have tried to be fighters. It doesn’t work out so well. Very rarely does it work out.”
