#Trump claims new #debate deal as MVP #KamalaHarris urges sticking to existing date

In a [definitely #weird] post late Fri, Trump claimed he & #Harris had agreed to debate on Sept 4 on #FoxNews. Trump said his previous commitment to a debate on Sept 10 hosted by #ABCNews was “terminated” because Biden dropped out as the Democratic candidate.
 The Harris campaign was baffled by Trump’s claims & said Saturday that she never agreed to a new debate deal.

Trump backs out of ABC debate, says he will only debate Harris on Fox

“I’ll see her September 4th, or I won’t see her at all,” Trump posted on his social network.

A person familiar w/the matter, …said the #Harris campaign held no negotiations w/ #Trump or Fox about a new debate. Fox representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Harris spox Michael Tyler said the campaign would discuss additional debates after the one Trump already agreed to. He said MVP #KamalaHarris will attend the Sept 10 forum whether Trump shows up or not.

“Donald Trump is running scared & trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to & running straight to Fox News to bail him out,” Tyler said. “Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should have no problem with that unless he’s too scared to show up on the 10th,” he added, referring to language #Trump previously used to pressure #Biden into agreeing to a faceoff.

…In Friday’s post, #Trump also raised objections to #ABC serving as #moderator, even though he previously accepted the network’s role. Trump referenced a lawsuit against ABC accusing host George Stephanopoulos of defaming him by misstating a jury verdict in a #NewYork trial that found the fmr president #liable for #SexualAbuse. A federal judge in #Florida said in July that the case could proceed.

[except for the #fact that a #jury did find him liable for sexual abuse]

#Trump agreed to the #ABC #debate in May two months after filing his lawsuit against the network. The moderators will be David Muir & Linsey David, not Stephanopoulos. 
ABC representatives did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
 Trump’s post on Friday said the purported deal would feature rules similar to June’s debate with Biden “BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!”

Republican presidential nominee Donald #Trump said Saturday that he will no longer appear at a previously scheduled #debate on Sept. 10 & will only debate Vice President #KamalaHarris …if she agrees to his terms: a debate on Sept. 4, hosted by #FoxNews, w/a “full arena audience.”

“I’ll see her September 4th, or I won’t see her at all,” Trump posted on his social network.

#Trump said that if #Harris does not agree to the new format on #FoxNews, he would refuse to #debate altogether.

Trump spox did not respond to requests to clarify his post on Sat.

“…the Trump campaign never agreed to a VP debate w/ VP Harris either. She had accepted 2 different dates on CBS, & they never agreed. They were afraid to debate her as the running mate. Now they are afraid to debate her at the top of the ticket.” Brian Fallon, comms dir for the Harris campaign, wrote on X.

#Trump needs his Fox blankie or he won't debate #Harris.

I look forward to listening to what she has to say when she has her free airtime on ABC when #Trump fails to show up for the debate.

@KathyLK 🐔 is afraid to debate Kamala!

"Now look what you made me do!!!"

#Harris won't debate #Trump on his new, fabricated terms, so Trump gets to bail on any debate at all and blame it all on Harris

"Now look what you made me do!!!"

Pretty cheap trick

It will fool no one

@Nonilex So, basically you can't trust any deal made by the guy. He always wants change the terms, making it look like the other side is being unreasonable.

She should counter with real-time fact checking before even considering it.

So the headline should be: Donald Ducks Debate

@mastodonmigration @Nonilex. Yes!

this actually is probably a fairly accurate depiction of one of the tantrums that used to result in ketchup dripping down walls in the White House

@Nonilex Coward! He thinks commitments and promises don't apply to him; if he can't have it his way he'll take his ball and go home! Good bye Donnie!

@Nonilex How nice of Trump to invite her to one of his rallies!

#Weird chicken wants #Fox to moderate.

That is so #weird. If he can't stick to simple a agreement like this to talk to #Harris at home, how will he uphold international agreements of much more consequence?

@Nonilex Chump won’t debate outside of his Fox News safe space because he’s a coward.

@Nonilex
Trump is terrified of Harris, he knows he’s hopelessly outmatched and, unlike Biden, is far less likely to let his bullshit slide in the name of decorum.

She’s going to prosecute her case against him and for America, taking fat Hitler apart piece by piece.

@Nonilex oh, I didn't remember that the jury had decided the financial penalties / awards in that case. Definitely a verdict of his "peers" then. (Though I cringe at the thought of being ever considered a peer of that creep.)

Hold his feet to the fire for the ABC debate. After that negotiate for the next one after she pounds him into the ground

TAI Aug 3, 2024

@Nonilex he's going to attempt to twist the truth then claim she's afraid to debate ( on his terms). stick to original debate or not at all

@Nonilex what’s wrong with the original date? Does Chump have a trial/arraignment/jury selection that day?
