Donald Trump flubbed the last debate. His allies know it, his fundraisers know it—but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to admit it.

On Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee announced that he had decided not to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time, writing in a lengthy rant on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” (Apparently he’s counting his debate against Joe Biden.)

But less than 24 hours after the major reversal, Trump’s team was already working to explain away why the country would be getting less of their candidate.

    Not the first time he’s run from a debate.

    Back before the 2016 election Trump challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie accepted and Trump had to backtrack.

      I just wanna know how all the “tough guy/anti-snowflake” types all landed on the worlds most massive pussy/coward, and thought “here’s our guy, he’s a business man, the only job the whole world that carries the well known and somehow normalized intent to fuck you over no matter what for a dollar. He’ll look out for my interests.”

      Most gullible turds speedrun any% world record.

    Donald Trump “won” against Biden. Donald Trump wanted to debate him again.

    Donald Trump “won” against Harris. Donald Trump says only the losers want a rematch.
