The former president took a shot at ABC News, which is set to host the debate in September.

Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.

Trump began laying the groundwork this weekend to dodge or change the rules of the second debate he’s agreed to, which is set to be held Sept. 10 and broadcast on ABC. The former president has been livid after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection on Sunday.

“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,” he wrote on Truth Social. “They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.”

Sounds like the convicted felon is skeeeeered.

Isn't ABC a moderate?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 month ago

The media should crucify him for this. Call him afraid.

That's it, I'm calling all cowards "orange" from now on.

This may be the only thing 45 has actually earned in his time on this godforsaken rock, a nickname for uninspired dipshits.

Replace the word "Chicken"

"You gonna Trump out? Scared little bitch!"

It's worked before, Santorum was mentioned in The Boys recently which just... ticked me pink

Cheeto bellied cowards.

Awww, poor Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence, is scared. BIG SCARED!!! Chicken ass bitch.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

He may be orange, but he's yeller. Yeller bellied, new york city slicker, con man, lying, no account motherfucker. Fuck him and all his people. Hope he dies scared, alone, and confused in a prison infirmary with shit in his diaper.

That’s Draft Dodger Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I really, really, really want to see campaign ads calling Trump out as a coward and chicken.

Dodge the draft.

Dodge the debate.

Like a typical cowardly bully, running away from any fights he doesn't know he can win.

Just 30 seconds of "Is Trump a yellow bellied coward? Clip of him backing out of debate. Followed by the rest of the air time of just a chicken running around clucking."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I could see a nice 30 second ad, with the first 28 seconds having some monotone dude read off all these things, and the the last two seconds it shows Trump in one of his diaper pictures and he just says “Little Bitch”.

Let's go, Lion Kamala! 🦁

He's afraid of smart women.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

If Trump refuses to debate, could Kamala still use that airtime to give a campaign speech or something? Like ABC has that time slot blocked out for the debate already, might as well use it productively even if there's no debate

Going to be a 54 minute MyPillow infomercial, now.

The prospect of being shown up on such a big stage by a black woman is terrifying to him.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Would have been great to have had Biden bow out at the podium before the debate started and then have wrestling entrance music play as Kamala enters.

A grand entrance and not having attention is what really scares Trump. And fact checking.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Smart move. Can you imagine Trump debating a literal prosecutor? Not just a prosecutor, but a highly successful one who prosecuted for-profit fraudulent colleges like the one he owned? Would be an absolute nightmare for him.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Putin likely has video of Trump being beaten by a black woman.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hahahaha how can you Americans vote for such a pussy.

Hahaha

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hahaha how can your life be so pathetic as to troll in every thread? Go touch grass dude.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Oooooh, don't you think he looks tired and scared? Trump's too much of a coward to debate Kamala, just like we all knew he would be
