Sure, former President Donald Trump skipped all of the GOP debates because, I guess he thinks he was somehow above all this. But now all of a sudden, he’s hot to debate President Joe Biden. I don’t think Trump realizes how embarrassing this could be for him, even though he is sure to be the Republican presidential nominee as the election looms. Anyone with an intelligence level above first grade, who is reasonably progressive, knows Biden will mop the floor with Trump during a debate. When the two men debated in 2016 Biden famously won the debates without question.
Despite this, Trump threw down the gauntlet earlier Wednesday, on his Truth Social program, Mediaite, reports.
“It is important, for the good of our country, that joe biden and i debate issues that are so vital to america, and the american,” wrote the man who chickened out of all the earlier gop debates.
“therefore, i am calling for debates, anytime, anywhere, anyplace!” trump yelled in shout mode. “the debates can be run by the corrupt DNC, or their subsidiary, the commission on presidential debates (CPD). i look forward to receiving a response. thank you for your attention to this matter!”
Should you be in a particularly punitive mood you can read Trump’s blarney right here. Don’t blame me if it makes you nauseous.
Biden-Harris 2024 Communications Director Michael Tyler responded to Trump’s post in a way that was succinct, apt, and funny at the same time. Gotta give him props for that.
“I know donald trump’s thirst for attention and struggling to expand his appeal beyond the maga base — and that’s a conversation we’ll have at the appropriate time in this cycle. But if he’s so desperate to see president Biden in prime time, he doesn’t have to wait — he can join the tens of millions of americans who will tunein to watch the state of the union tomorrow night. he might even learn a thing or two about bringing people together and actually delivering for the american people.”
Well, pigs could fly, I suppose.
Trump is impervious to logic. He wants this to be all about him and if the spotlight’s on him, he’s a happy camper no matter how things turn out. Because it’s all attention either way. He’s like the dog who keeps chewing the TV remote. There’s always the possibility they are doing this for attention and Trump knows that no matter how things turn out, eyes will still be focused on him and his antics. He’s even aiming to go live during Biden’s SOTU speech.
“I am pleased to inform you that tomorrow night we will be doing a live, play by play, of crooked joe biden’s state of the union address. i will correct, in rapid response (yeah sure), any and all inaccurate statements, especially pertaining to the border and his weaponization of the DOJ, FBI, A.G.s and District attorneys, to go after his political opponent, ME (something never done before in the is Country!). We did this once before to go after his political opponent, me (something never done before in this country!). We did this once before to tremendous success — beating all records. it is important for the country to get the truth—” he wrote.
Aren’t you all on pins and needles to watch Trump’s play-by-play, to see what turds of wisdom he drops? You can bet the Tangerine Scream will be playing the victim here and his “facts” will be as wrong as they always are. Frankly, Trump wouldn’t know the truth if it bit him in the butt.
Will this turn into one of those grab-the-popcorn moments?
Biden vs Trump?
What a joke that will be. Trump is so handicapped by being himself he doesn’t stand a chance against competent, lucid Biden. But it will be funny watching him try to match wits with Biden.
Except, of course, Trump is witless.
It’s definitely like I said–Biden will mop the floor up with Trump. I’m also hoping I get to hear “Shut up, man,” again.
Actually, this time I hope President Biden tells the fool to “shut the f*ck up”. Throwing in an idiot, moron, or other descriptive noun would make it even better.
At least he got the current president right this time.
Trump won’t be able to debate Biden because he needs to get ready to debate Stephen Douglas to show Abe Lincoln how it should truly be done.
The correct response from the Biden campaign to Trump’s debate offer should be something like this: “Of course President Biden is willing to debate the important issues of American politics with the Republican nominee. But to keep this a real debate instead of a shouting match, we will impose one condition: While one candidate is using his allotted time for a statement or response, the other candidate’s microphone will be TURNED OFF.” If Trump vetoes this offer he’ll look like the churl he is. If he accepts it, Biden will mop up the floor with him.
I guess former guy hasn’t punched himself in the nut-sack quite enough yet.
I can remember the Hillary Clinton debate when his basic response to anything she said was “I’m not – you are, nyaahh”
That and wandering round the stage and hovering behind her when she was speaking.
Then he claimed he had ‘won the debate’ (despite every non-partisan report saying otherwise)
