Look at his press-conferences
* demanding praise
* rewriting history
* lashing out against critical questions as nasty
"Mr. President, in April you announced that you want to launch Phase 4 of 'Infrastructure Week.' Please detail individually for Phases 1, 2 and 3 when they were, how much taxpayer-money was spent and what the taxpayers got in return."
"Mr. President, you got the first briefings about COVID-19 in January 2020. Please detail for each month individually what you did to prevent a pandemic. What did you do in January, what did you do in February, what did you do in March?"
"Mr. President, why did you put your Middle-East peace czar in charge of the coronavirus-response?"
"Mr. President, under your family-separation policy more than a thousand illegal immigrant toddlers and children have disappeared from federal custody with no record whatsoever of what happened to them. Nobody knows where your administration put them, nobody knows where they are. What will you do to find these toddlers and children?
"Mr. President, the Republican Party has filed a lawsuit in the Supreme Court that would destroy the ACA and make millions of US-citizens lose their health-insurance. The Supreme Court decision on that case is scheduled for early 2021, which means that the next President needs a replacement-plan for the ACA by that date. Mr. President, do you have a healthcare-plan ready for replacing the ACA in early 2021?

(12,582 posts)Fat Donnie has already said he might not participate because the questioners are so unfair (his favorite word, followed closely by "nasty" ), but he might consider debates run by a commercial organization, whatever that means.
He's not going to debate. Period.
He will find some excuse to refuse to take part. Or he'll pull some stunt like trying to put Pence in his place, since both Pence and Biden are vice presidents. It would be unfair (there's that word again) to have the president debate a vice president. Anyway, he's too busy keeping America great again.

(1,184 posts)But I don't believe the League of Women Voters has sponsored debates since the '80s. It's been the Commission of Presidential Debates.

(12,582 posts)Actually, I got lazy and didn't fact check the information before I posted it. My Journalism 101 teacher would have been aghast.

(31 posts)I want to see the Republican convention, wave after wave of ass kissers all trying to outdo each other. Mr. President if Jesus Christ came back tomorrow the first thing, he would do is to ask your advice while Trump smiles and nods agreement.

Mc Mike
(9,114 posts)Notice how the reporters' mic gets cut, after they ask something and then get attacked by shitler. He starts laying into them, they start trying to explain their reason for asking the question, and we can't hear them. The White House cuts their mic sound off.
In the debates, cut his mic when it's not his time to speak. Let him gibber away silently, attempt uselessly to interrupt his opponent with no sound. The split screen will just show him making stupid faces while his opponent is speaking.
