While Donald Trump once argued against having his mic muted during presidential debates, he appears to have changed his tune now that he’s set to debate Kamala Harris for the very first time on ABC Sept. 10.
Jimmy Kimmel addressed the news during Thursday’s (Sept. 5) Live broadcast when he joked that the presidential candidates will be armed with “a knife” during the debate.
“They will not be allowed to consult with their teams. There will be no audience, though afterwards Trump will claim there were 30,000 fans screaming his name,” he joked.
He then pointed out that President Joe Biden requested that their mics be muted during the June debate when it was the other person’s turn to speak, a rule which Trump’s team readily agreed to.
“But Kamala’s team wanted the mics to be open for this one and Trump’s campaign said, ‘Oh no you don’t, we are keeping him muted for as long as humanly possible,'” he said. “So they’ll be muted.”
Kimmel then joked that President Biden should make an appearance, WWE-style.
“How great would it be if 30 minutes into this debate, Joe Biden runs out, hits Trump with a folding chair, ‘You’ve forgotten me!'”

RATS take a loss and turn it into a win, while Repukes take a win, and turn it into a loss.
Harris will be vicious and combative during the debate. They want Trump miked-up in the hopes of baiting him into talking over Harris and being rude and disrespectful to her.
KIMMEl is not now funny-—but has NOT been for a very long time.
Tulsi’s dealt with her before, so I’m sure she’s giving Trump some good pointers.
They are the one’s who imposed these rules to safeguard Biden. Too bad they have to live with them.
As for Jimmy Kimmel, I’m sure the five people who still watch his show were enthralled with whatever this teary eyed POS had to say.
Biggest joke? The left worships a guy who made his bones on a show that is a “me too” minefield of triggering.
Jimmy Kimmel?!?! Who gives an eff.
He wasn’t even funny on The Man Show.
Kimmel may be the cattiest bitch in the world.
I'll expect Trump to be prepared. He knows Kamala's game plan.
He was funny on the Man Show. That was before he became a hard-core Leftist.
If I were Trump, I would go into this with no pressure. Harris is the one who needs the muted mic. Her own team is afraid to put her in front of ANY mic, muted or not.
I thought he was pretty funny. Perhaps that was because he was a good sidekick to Adam Carolla.
Oh isn’t Jimmy Kimmel funny!
He’s going to have to deal with it when at next r
Years Oscar’s he’s out and someone like John mullaney is in because people want to shut him out for as long as possible
Trump and his willingness to fight kept this country out of major transformative destruction keeping hila ry out of office
Sorry Kimmel, he is loved
Be brave and watch his entrance to Hannity town hall from theme nights ago
You wish…
“He wasn’t even funny on The Man Show.”
I don’t think the men were watching for the humor. At least, my hubbie sure as heck wasn’t.
Back then, we didn’t know what a leftie moron Kimmel was. We just thought he was a typical ho-dog that enjoys watching scantily dressed women bounce on trampolines. Now we know.
Well, yeah, but at the most basic strategy they wanted her to be able to use her duel boss, dumb ass “Mr Trump, I’m speaking” line
Girl boss, not duel boss
I’M SPEAKING.
ooohhhhhh....so tough. So f-ing tough she won’t even show up at the gravesites of the men she didn’t protect.
Our society was not that political back then.
Wasn’t Trump’s decision; it was the network’s choice.
Everyone with a brain knows why Commie-La wanted open mics... so that Trump would interrupt her and give her an opening to launch a pre-planned sassy-black-girl-puttin-the-man-in-his-place bit
