During the recent debate, former President Trump's advisers were pleased with his performance, particularly highlighting his comments on January 6. These remarks were carefully crafted and rehearsed during Trump's debate preparations. Trump emphasized the state of affairs on January 6, focusing on aspects such as border security, energy independence, low taxes, minimal regulations, and global respect at that time.
Notably, Trump avoided addressing any responsibility for or acknowledging the events of the insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021. His advisers aimed to keep him on track and prevent him from being provoked by President Joe Biden during the debate, a goal they believe he successfully achieved.
Additionally, Trump's senior advisers monitored social media reactions to Biden's performance and age, sharing concerns expressed by some Democrats regarding Biden's capabilities.
