He probably is afraid. He doesn’t get a rich people handicap, though. He can’t just pencil in any score like he does when he cheats at golf. As for reimbursement, L to the O to the L on that one. Maybe the GOP should “reimburse” all the people who died from COVID because they listened to Trump’s dumb advice about taking aquarium cleaner to cure it.
Wasn’t that the problem with the first debate? CNN made it as cushy as possible for Trump while putting Biden at a disadvantage. They didn’t fact check all of Trump’s lies, because why should a news channel report facts?
Yeah, I’m pretty sure an unscrupulously fair moderator who can cut microphones and calls out any and all inaccuracies would end Trump. Of course, that would then look unfair, and we can’t have that.
So he wants accommodations. Sounds like something a snowflake beta male would want lmao. Dealing with prosecutors must trigger him after that trial
Trump whenever someone asks him to debate Kamala
Literally nobody on the face of the earth, thinks that he isn’t afraid.
Why would he be afraid? She is not particularly smart, and she is very off putting. I think any extra time of her speaking would be a positive for his campaign.

She’s also from a very gifted family in general. Both her parents had PhDs, her mother was a researcher who’s credited with making significant advancements in understanding breast cancer, her father was a professor of economics at Stanford and her sister is a lawyer and political analyst.
Damn how do you get an honorary doctorate?
If a university beleives you have contributed a significant level of research / furthered a field of study to a certain point, then they can offer an honorary doctorate. Its like saying you’ve done the equivalent of a PhD thesis but didn’t do the PhD student part.
I never said anything about trump intelligence, but I dont see her at particularly smart. Smart people would be someone like Vivek or Elizebeth Warren, Harris is not in their league so she doesnt have that advantage.
And many of those this are not really brags…
Vivek? Smart? Lmaooooooooo
Yeah that’s a troll there. Mr Ramaswamy is many things, but he’s about as smart as he is the pride of Columbus, and most of us don’t even realize he’s from here. Hell he didn’t even manage to be the shame of the city.
I really detest him. As an Indian guy I hate seeing conservatives extol him as a genius, when he’s actually just a billionaire grifter pandering to conservatives.
which isn’t a brag?
The one that is uncontroversially an abysmal failure would be “Co authored withdrawal from Afghanistan”. That is incredible someone would even want to mention it.
Do you think you could do better? I certainly wouldn’t want the job
Of course I could do better, give a map to a toddler and they could have done better. Think about it this way, which would you chose to try to defend, an airport in a city of 4.5 million (semi-hostile) people, or at an AFB that they put billions of dollars into 1 hour north surrounded by desert?
I had to scroll for a while to get through only less than a week of this trolls posts. They are talking a LOT and nearly all of the comments are in the negative.
I’m getting professional troll/provocateur vibes.
I wish blocking .ml blocked all their users as well.
Nah, it’s our honor and duty to downvote them until they give up.
They won’t give up, they’re getting paid
Make them have to pay more.
Deep pockets
Hey I resemble that remark!
Sure, but Donald Trump is even less smart and even more off-putting. Any extra time of him speaking would be a positive for her campaign.
Yet that doesn’t seem to detract from the reality that Trump resonates with a significant proportion of voters. I am certainly seeing genuine enthusiasm for Harris as well. Neither of these points have too much to do with how they would perform in a debate against each other on grounds of argument. Certainly respective optics will matter, but I feel like Trump’s optics have already shed the folks he’s going to lose, with very few hesitant conservatives remaining and many fanatics who will vote for him no matter which lines he crosses
Sorry man but you are eating up the propaganda. Trump is legitimately funny and has charisma enough to be one of the most famous people in the world for decades. The reason people say trump is so bad and dumb and repelling is because it is propaganda.
Removed by mod
He’s infamous. That’s not the same as famous. He’s infamous for being wold class at being slimy, racist and immoral but, despite this, still managing to have a cult of brain dead sycophants who worship his every action.
The reason people say trump is bad and repelling is Trumps own actions and words. The difference is that those people that find him to be exactly that haven’t been groomed into rejecting the evidence of their eyes and ears.
He is now, but he was top tier famous for decades before politics. If you were actually intereseted in what is happening not just the propaganda, almost everything bad they say about trump is a direct lie or misleading. You just need to read past the headline to see its propaganda. Litearlly just dive down on any story.
So, just to be clear, its everyone else in the world who’s wrong and susceptible to propaganda and your little cult whos correct?
Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure you’ve been groomed into knee-jerk dismissing anything bad anyone ever says about trump as propaganda, before you’ve even had a chance to consciously think about it. However, that’s not the same as your wild and baseless dismissals being the right thing to do. It just means that you have been conditioned to ignore the evidence of your eyes and ears.
What makes you immune to this “propaganda” that all those who fall for it lack? Which bad bits are true then, if its only “nearly all of it” that’s wrong.
I am not going to vote for trump, but no, everyone is susceptible to it, and some are more susceptible. The MAGA people also believe propaganda but its different types, they come from an experience of the government fucking them over for decades and want someone they believe will fight back.
I am more immune to propaganda based on being an former engineer that just looks at data to make my beliefs. The trick there is to actually look at correct data and not be influenced by headlines or misleading information. The big problem is that your group believes that the media will tell you the truth and will not lie to you. For example look back a month or so ago when they were all claiming Biden was “sharp” when that was obviously a lie to anyone who was skeptical. Anyone that was impartial could see that he wasnt fully functional anymore back in 2020.
Trump is legitimately funny
To laugh at.
People confuse his cruelty as humor. Show me a clip of Trump being funny that is not at someone else’s expense.
You just have TDS dude. Hate is not the way to anything good.
Just one joke that isn’t at someone’s expense. Just one?
Feel free to watch one of his rallies, I am sure he does lots of jokes that are not insults. But I am not your servant.
Wow this AI generated comment is pretty awful. You better improve fast or they’re gonna send you to Chasiv Yar!
Sure, Jan.
Hahahaha Good one!
Of course he’s afraid to debate Kamala. She’s a prosecutor and he’s a convicted felon.
Lmao which one of you mouth breathers is downvote on this?
10h later it is still just a single downvote.
I likely up/downvote comments by accident with my fat-fingers.
Weren’t lemmy votes public btw? At least for every instance admin…?
Ah, fair play, kinda easy to do on accident
Don’t turn off the mics on this debate. Ignore the host. Let Dementia Donnie gas himself out. Let Harris interrogate him of his crimes and put it in public. I wanna see how long he can kee on screaming at the mic for two hours.
He’d just claim it was false. You’d have better luck nailing Jell-O to the wall.
The thing is he doesn’t to admit to anything. People are going to vote for him no matter what but a small logical percentage could be swayed away from him.
Catching him in lies and even maybe using that against him in the future.
But really I just want to see his burnt orange face turn red.
Felon does not want to face attorney general.
Old man doesn’t want to face someone nearly 20 years younger than him. Who’s too old to do the job now, Don?
They should set the debate up the debate like an obstacle course for geriatrics. A ramp to get to the podium. A glass drinking cup with a little too much water in it. World’s lamest Ninja Warrior course.
They should have changes, indeed. Like, before each new topic round, they should show short clips with fact checking the last debates’ statements on that topic.
President Pee-pee Pants needs his diaper changed.
Many people are saying that not only is dementia donnie afraid to debate a girl, but that he’s also just too old and should just drop out.
debate a girl
Why is this in here?
it’s satire.
Probably because shitbags like him legitimately consider that a burn.
Edit to add: where “him” is Trump, not the previous commenter, lol
It’s a joke. Not every word is an insult, context matters. People need to stop being so reactionary ffs
Dementia Don, the racist rapist with 34 felonies is scared to death to debate her. He’s just too old, he can’t even complete a coherent sentence. He really should drop out before she embarrasses him and his cult of morons.
Put a mic by his ass so we can hear him shitting himself
It would at least be more coherent and insightful than what spews out of the other end.
Somebody send hima a pacifier and a rattle so he can throw a classic tantrum like the baby bitch he is
I mean, I’d be afraid to debate a successful criminal procescutor

I also recall she landed some really good body shots on Biden in the '20 primaries. They were pretty obviously scripted, but they still hit hard. It’s practically the only thing I remember about her primary run.
Pretty much this. Since most presidential debates have abandoned fact-checking for this and the previous election, he’s free to lie, and nobody but the other candidate can call her on it.
