Donald Trump flubbed the last debate. His allies know it, his fundraisers know it—but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to admit it.
On Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee announced that he had decided not to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time, writing in a lengthy rant on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” (Apparently he’s counting his debate against Joe Biden.)
But less than 24 hours after the major reversal, Trump’s team was already working to explain away why the country would be getting less of their candidate.
Lol this is awesome
Donald Trump “won” against Biden. Donald Trump wanted to debate him again.
Donald Trump “won” against Harris. Donald Trump says only the losers want a rematch.
Donald Trump “won” against Biden. Donald Trump wanted to debate him again.
The American people lost that debate.
No… it was the turning point to move to Harris. So in hindsight something good came of it, no?
Yeah. The change was necessary. I’m not sure the Dems had a real chance with Biden. Even with Harris the polls look like a toss up. Harris seems like a huge improvement over Biden but trump still has his legions of idiot voters. And I gotta say, huge respect for Biden for seeing the way the winds of change were blowing and deciding to step back for the sake of the country. Can you imagine trump having that sort of humility and patriotism? Trump couldn’t even spell humility.
Please explain.
Two old dottering men. One shouting at the sky, the other looking like he’d rather be making ice cream cones for his grand kids.
Well yeah but I’d still say the American people won. At least Biden stepped down.
Simply run the debate but with Kamala talking to a Trump cardboard cut out.
The cardboard cut out would actually do better than Trump. It wouldn’t get baited into talking about crowd size and then babbling conspiracy theory about some migrant eating dogs and cats.
Honestly the dems hosting a “mock debate” like this would be incredible. Release it as a YouTube video comedy partnership or something. Even better if has a great Donald Trump impersonator
No. That’s on par with Clint Eastwood yelling at an empty chair. It just comes off looking pathetic.
Or an AI generated version of him puppeted by Taytay who has a great excuse for doing so.
When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about And gallantly, he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald.
You should post this on its own
Donald Trump flubbed the last debate.
Well that’s certainly one of the more generous renditions of the debate I’ve heard, lol— most everyone else describes it as somewhere between an “evisceration” and a “disembowelment”.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Kamala spanked Trump so hard, he owes her $130,000.
Rofl
This puts me in the mood for orange chicken.
Let it be known that dear leader has backed down from a debate with…
gasps
A black woman
Trump totally would’ve won that debate if the moderator didn’t fact check immigrants eating Ohio cats.
Don’t forget post birth
abortionsexecutions
Trump giving some tiny dick, tiny rally energy there.
The debate results may be profound. Saw long lines waiting at the large Republican enclave of the Villages in Florida. They were waiting for Doug Emhoff, the second gentleman, for a meet and greet.
he’s such a pussy; he’s probably trying to grab himself right now
Maybe he doesn’t want to do it again because she pretty much cleaned his clock. Call him for the coward he is.
if he performed poorly, a second debate could only help him, right? unless he performs worse
