Will Trump chicken out of the presidential debate? Probably. He's a Grade-A coward. Soft Paywall

Then let Biden have the stage for 2 hours or whatever and have a debate with a cardboard standee of Trump. The cardboard would probably make more sense than anything the real Trump would say anyway..

Tapper and Bash should probably ready themselves for a 2 hour town hall with Biden. The odds of Trump chickening out with some bat shit reason is high.

I honestly just dont see Trump backing out of this. If anything , I could see him coming out on stage and physically assaulting Biden more than I can see him dipping out on the whole thing.

You all still remember when this asshole had Covid at their debate, he tried to kill Biden.

This still amazes me. He knew his diagnosis, and he still went on stage yelling and debating and shaking hands.

Sociopath.

Only cares about himself, he likely gave it to several people who worked for him too

He gave it to Herman Cain, who died from it. Then after he died the GOP kept tweeting covid denialism bullshit from his Twitter account

Herman Cain? He’s not dead according to Trump. Fake news.

Honestly we should still be quarantining and going out for essentials

Pretty sure he gave it to Chris Christie at his debate prep. Then at the debate itself there was literal spittle flying out of his mouth at times.

Hope Hicks iirc too.

Trump knew he had tested positive for Covid but just showed up and did debate prep without telling anyone. All but one of the people who prepped him got sick.

Knew and showed up with his entourage, with all refusing to mask up. Some evil fuckers, those.

That one was unavoidable, unfortunately. Mask or no mask, for the woman whose job it is to iron the president's pants while he's wearing them, it's a sacrifice she would gladly make, again and again.

I'm not saying she's a hero. She's just doing her job.

But she's a God damned American Patriot, that's for sure.

Trump gave it to Chris Christie. He called Christie when Christie was in the hospital nearly dying from it mind you. Trump asked Christie if he told people that Trump infected him while they were debate prepping. Christie said no, he couldn't be sure who exactly gave it to him. Trump thanked him, ended the call and then went on to tell everyone who would listen that Chris Christie infected Trump!

When he did his "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" pose on the White House balcony after that trip to Walter Reed, he held an event at the WH that was an intentional superspreader event. He tried to infect everyone because about a month before the 2020 election, he decided to turn into a full-on "Herd Immunity" guy, so he thought he'd do his part by helping his herd "get immune" (if they survived COVID).

I wonder if the secret service is going to do something about this felon trying to kill the president?

There just is no bottom to the depravity of Trump

I don't think that he's lost a second of sleep knowing he was in charge of preventing the lives of Covid patients. 450,000 died under his watch. Biden commanded control of Covid during the first six months and it has declined ever since. I think it would matter what emergency situation would be he will not show up unless it benefits him personally. Even then he will blame everyone else. He's a SPOS!
