Donald Trump is the “clear winner” of the final debate, according to eight Twitter users arbitrarily chosen by Donald Trump.
The candidate’s campaign made the claim apparently on the basis of eight tweets that were sent to his official account showing support for him.
Many of the tweets didn’t even reference Mr Trump’s performance in the debate, and three of them were sent even before the debate had began.
What did Donald Trump say during the second presidential debate?

The presidential candidate posted a blogpost soon after the debate finished under the title “Battleground Voters Sound Off And Donald Trump is The Clear Winner”. The rest of the post continued to pick tweets from various important states – Florida, North Carolina and Pennsylvania – posting between one and five from each state.
In all there were only eight tweets. Many of them were either posted before the debate or made no comment on it – one included just a picture of a baby that was apparently preparing to watch the debate.
That was the most shared of the tweets, with 15 retweets. Many of them were retweeted only once or twice.
