Even if Trump wanted to be Dictator For Life (I have mixed feelings on that) there’s no way Huckabeast Sr thinks he should be. But he’ll be damned if he misses out on a few more book sales or speech opportunities to the Hitler Youth, or whatever he’s getting out of this.
This is like the 12th time he’s declared a China trade deal. It wasn’t real the first 11, but maybe this is the one. Or maybe he’s full of shit again and just looking for good headlines.
he can show up and drool on himself and there will be 1000 youtubes the next day titled “donald trump DESTROYS pocahantas!!!” with a photo of liz’s face looking like she’s your mom yelling at you
hey i hope so. and i’m not calling you out or anything but it feels off-brand for such an insane narcissist as trump to decline a chance at being watched by tens of millions of people on tv
He barely wanted to debate last time and was more or less forced because of bad optics if he doesn’t. Now he is the incumbent and can just concoct any narrative he wants to justify skipping the debates.
If anything, it’s the Dem candidate that should avoid the debates. At best they mean nothing, and much more likely they are a negative free roll. No one with a functioning brainstem could have thought he won the last time they occurred but it didn’t do anything to stifle his progress.
His clan meetings are as incoherent as ever and none on his side care. Another round of debates wouldn’t make a difference if the vast sums of content that we have to demonstrate his stupidity hasn’t already.
My memory is vague but didn’t he skip some of the Republican primary debates in favor of holding a rally in Bumblefuck, PA? I think it’s very possible he just skips the general election debates.
