Steve Martin challenges TFG to a debate. With a few conditions... [View all]

Link to tweet

My modest debate proposal:.
I'll debate Trump any day ,inclusive of tomorrow.
I'll shall have the banjo of my choice.
Trump shall have his invisible concertina.
A portion of the debate will consist of a dance-off.
Neck ties shall not hang down below the participant's knees.
There will no use of " anonymous horses".
Likewise ,any statement that begins with " many people say" will result in a mild electric shock directly to a body part chosen by the opponent.
The language used will be American English, no foggy dementia inspired gibberish.

I don't think you understand what the word impersonate means. Self Esteem Aug 3 #23
