Trump: Will 'Not Be Doing the Debates'

Former President Donald Trump said Sunday he will not be participating in "the debates," indicating he likely intends to not participate in any Republican primary debates and not the initinal debate set for this week.

In a post on his Truth Social website, Trump cited sky high poll numbers by which he leads the rest of the GOP field.

"New CBS POLL, just out, has me leading the field by 'legendary' numbers. TRUMP 62%, 46 Points above DeSanctimonious (who is crashing like an ailing bird!), Ramaswamy 7%, Pence 5%, Scott 3%, Haley 2%, Sloppy Chris Christie 2%, 'Aida' Hutchinson 1%," Trump wrote.

"The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had, with Energy Independence, Strong Borders & Military, Biggest EVER Tax & Regulation Cuts, No Inflation, Strongest Economy in History, & much more. I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!"

One suggestion - no running narrative during the debate. Listen and comment later. Squish ‘em like ze bugs.

A year from today, if Biden is leading him in the polls, he can cite the Trump Precedent to avoid the debates.

Good. Let the sock puppets of the establishment fight it out in their kabuki play to an ever-shrinking audience.

The debate will be a clown show with Mental Midgets going after each other.
And the Viewer numbers will be terrible.
I will be watching Trump do whatever he plans to do.

“A year from today, if Biden is leading him in the polls, he can cite the Trump Precedent to avoid the debates.”

The Trump precedent:

When you are slaughtering your opponent by 40+% you do not debate.

If Biden had even a 20% lead on Trump, I wouldn’t blame him for declining to debate

Biden skipped the Debate last time didn’t campaign, didn’t offer an agenda and got more votes than anyone in the history of the country. Why would he change that anyways? 2020 changed everything. You don’t need to take your case to the people anymore. This is what stolen elections bring. Consent of the governed is so yesterday

I doubt the WH was going to let that happen anyways. They only did one last time. And that was years before Jan 6. They’ll say they’re not debating an insurectionist.

Well said. They’ve kind of figured it out now. Let’s see if they can do it again. My vain hope is that the votes for 45 will overwhelm the cheat.

Trump didn’t just say it on Sunday. He has been saying it for weeks now.

Biden was planning on avoiding the debates anyway. But yes, we're making it easy for him.
