It's telling that Trump is already demanding a debate with Biden. He said he wouldn't attend the debates during the primary because:lmao fucking Trump he is such a moron.
You know Biden is smart enough (and has people surrounding him that are fr smarter) to walk Trump right into every trap he wants to if he gets the actual rules of the debate set up the way he would be willing to agree to.
Trump is surrounded by INCEL hate mongers who some may be very smart, but can't get past Dear LEader's ego long enough to actually make a difference, and Biden would destroy him like he did last time.
In 2020 Biden was playing by the current POTUS' rules of debate. This time Trump is the one trying to get on the same debate state and has shit for cards outside of about 12% of the nation that is in his cult electing him to be the frontrunner of the Republicons. Trump is a bumbling joke of a traitorous spoiled rich kid these days. I actually look forward to seeing Trump speed snorting ass just get owned on stage.
I loved Biden's response to the debate cry from right wing propagandists like Trump though, I look forward to months and months of him just destroying Trump before they do one debate right before the election as a cherry on top.
"I like to debate. I probably am here because of debates. I don't mind it at all," he told Fox News' Bret Baier in an interview this summer. "But when you're 40 points up .... Why would I let these people take shots at me?"
Now Trump says:
In a radio interview on "The Dan Bongino Show," Trump suggested that he would like to "immediately" debate his White House successor.
"I’d like to debate him now because we should debate. We should debate for the good of the country," Trump said.
And the response from Biden? Is telling in that he seems less needy:
Biden responded to Trump's comments on Monday during a stop in Nevada.
“Immediately? Well, if I were him, I’d want to debate me, too. He’s got nothing else to do,”
and:
Biden himself also hasn’t committed to debating. Speaking to reporters as he was leaving the White House for an event in Philadelphia, Biden said that a back-and-forth with Trump on a debate stage “depends on his behavior,” referring to Trump’s erratic tendency to interrupt and attack his political opponents.
So, this time, Biden is saying he sees no reason for a debate.
If one happens, and I think it likely that at least one debate will, Biden seems to be saying it will happen under a different set of rules to prevent the orange bloviator from ignoring time limits. Maybe mics and cameras will be turned off when it's not their time to speak. It seems to me that the Biden's team will have to assume that Trump will not behave according to the rules and set the stage to prevent him from interrupting, deflecting from the topic of a question, repeating lies or running over his time limits. Just watch a few moments of this performance:
The open format of the 2020 debate is unworkable given how that man behaves.
