Trump Immediately Accepts

He also promptly won't show.

He will make some demands to change the format and then back out when those demands aren’t met while complaining it’s “rigged and so unfair”.

He will say that it’s unfair to not have an audience there, so he will not attend the debate and will schedule a rally at the exact same time. This is what he did for the Republican Presidential nominee debates. He held his own rallies at the same time. He needs a safe space everywhere he goes and a debate is very unsafe space for him.

Biden's invitation was contingent on the debates following certain rules. Trump doesn't do rules. He'll do nothing but break them and complain about the rules he agreed to being unfair.
