“I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th.
“The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest.
“The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined.
“The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!” – Trump, last night on Truth Social.
Trump will only debate with a Fox host who will let him bully & yell & interrupt in front of a big Fox audience who will boo, heckle & jeer Harris.
He is just a fake tough guy bully on the playground who won’t fight unless he has 10 friends with him. What a weak, cowardly loser

Trump’s “debate” suggestion is the equivalent of saying, “i am only going if my mommy asks the questions, and all my preschool friends can come, and i can bring my binky and my blankie.”

Donald Trump is blaming his lawsuit against ABC for backing out of the debate. But Trump filed his frivolous lawsuit in March and agreed to the debate in May. The math ain’t mathin’. But he is clearly terrified. pic.twitter.com/PaK7LJUXPB

LOL! Trump says he agrees to the terms he made up for his dream debate scenario:
– Fox News
– His pick of Fox Moderators
– His Rules
– Claims can’t do ABC due to Litigation (Already Litigating when he agreed to ABC originally)
– Wants a arena full of cheerleaders pic.twitter.com/ynHlyZNgRY— Salt (@SaltonCA) August 3, 2024
As you can see, Fox was a willing co-conspirator to help Trump try and steal the 2020 election by running a steady torrent of lies to justify refusing to count the electoral votes. This is why he wants them to host a debate. pic.twitter.com/Ips9iY9bqg

Seeing a lot of international media fall for Trump’s ploy (my local radio @Live95Limerick did so) on debates. He didn’t AGREE to debate. He OFFERED to move the existing ABC debate with rules onto his own propaganda channel, Fox News, w/o different rules. pic.twitter.com/iacXhDewaP
