Donald Trump and Joe Biden participate in the first presidential debate at the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University on Sept.29, 2020 in Cleveland, Ohio.President Donald Trump said Thursday he won't"waste his time" participating in the second presidential debate next week after the Commission on Presidential Debates announced it would take place virtually in the wake of his Covid-19 diagnosis.
The debate is still set to take place in the form of a town hall, but the CPD said that Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, would be invited to participate remotely. Moderator Steve Scully of C-SPAN will be located at the venue which was slated to host the debate, the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami.
In an interview on the Fox Business Network Thursday morning, Trump said the new debate format is"not acceptable to us." "I'm not gonna waste my time on a virtual debate," Trump said, adding that he doesn't like the idea of a virtual debate because a moderator could cut him off at any time.
The president first showed symptoms for the virus last Thursday, according to the White House, which was 14 days prior to the debate scheduled for Oct. 15.
Magically going away
Good -cuz he sucks!
Good because we were not going to waste our time with your antics again. Let joe have the floor!
Helen504 Good. No one wants his cooties anywhere near the next president.
realDonaldTrump won’t participate in the 2nd presidential debate because he is a coward. Trump is too chicken to showcase town hall voters getting along fine with JoeBiden and experiencing Trump’s feckless babbling VoteBlue .
Fact is somebody did. And he did not play his cards correctly. Trump is not a good president. Do you all understand this?
Good who wants to watch him lie and act a fool
realDonaldTrump has always been a coward, you expected something different now?
His concern is not for Joe Biden health or anyone else. This man Trump is a female version Thyroid Mary.
Doesn't matter anyway he's going to win anyways.
Pence consistently interrupt her, not as bad as Incompetent Trump & disrespectful of Susan & the rules of engagement. 7.6M Cases & 213,000 Deaths under Trump & Pence with Covid-19 that they ignored, it's not HOAX! Trump just lies & Pence is Trump's pool boy & wimp he controls!
GOOD. Biden has already won. Trump would be the only one to benefit.
You took his fun away...he wanted to be the bully again and virtual would prevent that. Good Call!
God blessed America.
good riddance I think Joe should do the debate without Trump, it will be an IMPROVEMENT! Let's face it DonaldTheDodger IS INCAPABLE of debate in any format & knows it, he'd rather do a TrumpSuperSpreader TrumpDeathRally where he can have his insatiable ego fed
He can’t hide behind his antics
Translation: If I get the virus, I will infect as many people as possible.
Good
Morning_Joe Many of us work virtually, successfully every day. Why is it a waste of your time? Is it because you won't be able to interrupt and bully your opponent. WrongPersonWrongTime realDonaldTrump
He is afraid of failing again. This is, what he thinks, will let him off the hook. Such a loser.
Oh, pun-leez...he‘s in no shape to appear in public. This impotent hissy fit is a bone for his chump base. Has America run out of plexiglass? Build him a hermeticall-sealed containment unit with a filtered air supply and a BIG mute button. I’d watch THAT debate
Announced via a virtual interview and being amplified via Twitter a virtual communication platform, during a pandemic which has forced a large percentage of America to work and school virtually
They should have the debate, where Biden takes part, and they substitute this picture of Trump for his questioning. They would get more sense than if he actually appeared.
Dont blame him he cant counter like kast time after the rigged it with a biden staffer too who would do it
The should do it with holograms.
Excellent. As Trump has covid19, it must be a virtual debate for everyone’s safety.
The right decision. In the first place, we are not even sure what will happen to trump and his state of health after this weekend. Moreover, he will most probably still be infectious. He already infected his on inner circle in the WH. Can’t risk infecting more people!
Biden can keep to his script better, technical difficulties will plague the event predictively. Joe is mentally declining. I’m sure they’ve pumped him full of stimulants but none the less it is what it is.
Morning_Joe You know who is not going to like that at all. he loves to put on a god and pony show. Let’s bet realDonaldTrump will insist people be called to the WhiteHouse to watch him so they get infected. FoxNews
Whats happens if Pres Trump decided to step down and not run for president anymore?🤔
Biden & Harris are two of the most disrespectful people on the Earth! Are they able to get any lower than their using the deaths of Americans in their campaign! Biden even uses his son’s death to campaign on! Did they even think how disgusting this is!
Ugh!
Donald Trump’s probably gonNA break his microphone and computer.
DIZ IZ AH GRAYTE YDEA, CUZ Y B-LEEVE DRUMP IZ AH COVYD-19 CAYRRY’R! DA REZSUN VWY EVRY 1 IZ ZSYCK ATT DA VWYTE OUZE IZ CUZ DRUMP IZ MAYKYNG EM ZSYCK! Y ZSEE DAT ZSUM THYNG’Z R (YMMYNUN’T) 2 APPYN NUTHYN GAN GHANGE IT’Z COARZSE! 😎👁👽🇺🇸💪🏿
Great idea, since the Republicans refuse to follow rules.
Biden will have talking points loaded into that teleprompter ready to go. Of course they have to cheat to win. There is no other way to them after the Kamela disaster last night
My money's on the Trump campaign being behind this. No way the CPD would do this without the Trump campaign having come to them first.
Morning_Joe I'm predicting JoeBiden's virtual background may include BarackObama HillaryClinton Comey and SpeakerPelosi to send Trump bat crazy!
COVIDa's getting ready
Bless you Debate Commission
$750 says realDonaldTrump will be a no-show! TrumpCovid
Who would you put Trump into a ‘breakout room’ with on Zoom? 1. Kamala Harris 2. A Cheeseburger 3. The IRS 4. StormyDaniels
Spanky isn't going to like this not one bit. Tweetstorm in 5, 4, 3, 2,...
Will all attendees be on mute until it’s their turn to speak?
so there'll be a 'mute' button?
COVID-20 Syphilis Strain
Biden will have questions in advance and his trusty teleprompter!
Then Biden can cheat again!
