6. The two sides will count different things as wins...

for Trump he will "win" by calling the most names and making the most outrageous claims. Biden, of course, will measure a win by making logical points and emphasizing his fitness for the office of Trump.

For Trump this will not matter. He will attempt to Bully Biden and it will be interesting indeed because Joe is strong enough to have none of it.

I think he'll mop the floor by our standards but the right will think (and they will really think this) that Trump won.

Ultimately, I think you are right. For the American people, who Trump really is will be more than blatantly obvious.
