The former president took a shot at ABC News, which is set to host the debate in September.
Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.
Trump began laying the groundwork this weekend to dodge or change the rules of the second debate he’s agreed to, which is set to be held Sept. 10 and broadcast on ABC. The former president has been livid after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection on Sunday.
“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,” he wrote on Truth Social. “They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.”
Ok let’s go back to the old format. It’s only fair
Trump would spend the whole time griping that the debate was being run by the League of Women Voters.
I’m reminded of the South Park episode where Cartman tries to avoid fighting Wendy.
Trump worried he might not be the better golfer in this debate
Awww, poor Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can’t complete a coherent sentence, is scared. BIG SCARED!!! Chicken ass bitch.
That’s Draft Dodger Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies!
He may be orange, but he’s yeller. Yeller bellied, new york city slicker, con man, lying, no account motherfucker. Fuck him and all his people. Hope he dies scared, alone, and confused in a prison infirmary with shit in his diaper.
He’s afraid of smart women.
Let’s go, Lion Kamala! 🦁
Debates should be mandatory for frontrunners, voting should be compulsory
voting should be compulsory
This may or may not give you the outcome you’re looking for. There are absolutely still people out there who don’t pay that much attention to politics and having a bunch of people vote for a random name could be disastrous.
It could be but if a candidate is that disasterous to being voted in then I’m sure they’d have heard about that candidate too. In the long run it’d probably have people more informed before they vote since they’ll have to do it.
I feel like this might just be a culturally difference or something.
There are absolutely plenty of Americans who would just pick random names to get it over with. Even if we had a much more organized system that actually provided everyone with pamphlets educating them on candidates people here would still ignore it.
Why do Americans always act like other countries don’t exist?
Whenever these kinds of things get brought up Americans act like these are radical new ideas that have never been tried before so obviously we must carefully consider the potential issues in the purely theoretical.
You aren’t that special. Universal health care works. Gun control works. Mandatory voting works. All of these things have been tried in other countries and have been policy for decades or centuries in those countries.
You don’t have to speculate on what might happen based on zero information. You can use the oodles of real world data at your fingertips where these are tried and tested solutions to problems.

You are absolutely ruining our conservatives’ simple minded theories with all your real world facts. All of their ivory tower theories start out with the assumption that you do not exist.
e.g. “If people can get free health care they will go to see doctors just for fun and then things will cost too much!”
I like how this was just one point and you went off on your anti-american rant. I’m all for the first two out of the three that you mentioned there.
Congratulations, you have assumed and now you are an ass.
I didn’t assume anything, your point was “well if we tried that, what if this thing happened” like there is no way to tell. There IS a way to tell, look at the other countries that have already done this.
It’s irrelevant whether or not you are for or against the examples I used. I just find it uniquely American to act like if it isn’t currently what Americans do, then nobody must have ever tried it and to speak of the idea as if it is purely theoretical.
If you’re against it and care, then next time instead of fear mongering in the theoretical, you can educate yourself and offer an informed opinion instead, using real data from the many countries where this is already a thing.

Again, I never acted like that. This is a bold assumption on your part.

I’m aware of countries that take part such as Australia or Belgium. As such I’m aware of their faults too. You know the uninformed voters I was referring to? That’s called a donkey vote sometimes. Your system fails to address that. Add on the logistics of tracking participation, dealing with penalties and what have you even accomplished? It genuinely sounds as if you want to control an aspect of peoples lives that should not be controlled.
Oh and since you’re so very interested in American culture and what makes us different, has it ever occurred to you that with how nasty things can get on election days that compulsory voting with penalties might just be a further punishment to those already having unfortunate experiences? Republicans are known to harass and heckle other voters at the polls.
Look, there’s a lot of things I believe we could adopt from other countries but there’s also a lot of work to be done in general. We’re not ready for something like this. Your attitudes and assumptions have shown that you are quite uninformed yourself for someone who claims to be so knowledgeable.
Compulsory voting works best as a deterrent to disenfranchisement. It’s not great when it just becomes a rent on people in districts with deplorable voting infrastructure and registration policies.
If Trump refuses to debate, could Kamala still use that airtime to give a campaign speech or something? Like ABC has that time slot blocked out for the debate already, might as well use it productively even if there’s no debate
Going to be a 54 minute MyPillow infomercial, now.
PUSSY
If you can dodge a draft you can dodge a debate. I mean ball.
Dodging Harris like he dodges bullets
Like his fat ass can dodge anything. Someone missed. His ass ain’t no Neo.
you should see how many bullets he dodged in Vietnam
Bullets named “service” and “the draft”?
Old chickenshit finally getting the picture is he?
The prospect of being shown up on such a big stage by a black woman is terrifying to him.
Would have been great to have had Biden bow out at the podium before the debate started and then have wrestling entrance music play as Kamala enters.
A grand entrance and not having attention is what really scares Trump. And fact checking.
He’s such a pussy, he needs to be careful that he doesn’t grab himself by accident.
RAGEQUIT!
