Donald Trump declared himself the unquestionable winner of his first debate against Hillary Clinton during a rally on Tuesday night, then relived the entire debate before a Florida crowd of supporters, this time with the help of a teleprompter.

The Republican presidential nominee ticked down a list of issues he failed to hammer Clinton on during their 90-minute bout,from her foreign policy failures to her use of a private email server during her time as secretary of state. He also insisted on defending two factually incorrect statements he made the previous night.

Trump touted unscientific, online post-debate polls as "things of beauty."

He again claimed to be "holding back" during the faceoff because he "didn't want to do anything to embarrass" Clinton. That comment came after blaming debate moderator Lester Holt of NBC News for being tough on him earlier in the day.

"For 90 minutes I watched her very carefully and I was also holding back. I didn't want to do anything that embarrassed her," Trump said Tuesday. "For 90 minutes, she argued against change, while I called for dramatic change. We have to have dramatic change."

But while he spent much of the debate on the defense, Trump was free to unleash on Clinton without abandon as he rallied thousands of supporters Tuesday night in an airplane hangar.

He slammed Clinton for having "defended every major failure she helped create," placing particular emphasis on Clinton's track record as secretary of state.

"Iraq and Libya are in chaos. Here in America we've seen one Islamic terror strike after another."
