“...TV’s “cool” medium aspects to display his true worth...”
You mentioned Reagan, he was an actor. Trump, he’s a businessman. Reagan was capable of telling the story. Trump is capable, in this instance, of telling the truth....but he didn’t because he wasn’t given the opportunity and he fell into what Biden wanted, nothing accomplished and Biden is still in the ring with no less fires to put out than he had. And if the format had been adhered to, Biden would have come out of that bruised up at the least. But Wallace blew it. Now the second and third can get completely out of hand.

In these debates, if there are more, Trump will never get an even opportunity. He needs to come to grips with that fact and find an approach that blunts the moderator’s bias and simultaneously scores hits on Biden with facts... and, yes, even with humor at times. He’s in those debates to win the middle, or it’s over.
