Here We Go: Trump Challenges Biden to Debate

After becoming the defacto 2024 Republican nominee for president Tuesday night, former President Donald Trump is calling on President Joe Biden to debate "ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE!"

"It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People. Therefore, I am calling for Debates, ANYTIME, ANYWHERE, ANYPLACE! The Debates can be run by the Corrupt DNC, or their Subsidiary, the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). I look forward to receiving a response. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote on Truth Social Wednesday afternoon.

The White House was asked about whether Biden will participate in a debate with Trump during the daily briefing. Press Secretary Karine Jean Pierre punted back to the campaign while insisting Biden is capable.

"You literally saw at the last state of the union take on Republicans during a major speech. He [Biden] took them on as they were heckling him," she argued.

The Trump campaign is reiterating Trump's willingness to show up anytime, a play on highlighting Biden's deteriorating cognitive abilities.

Good point.

I don’t listen to political podcasts but I do enjoy them on other topics—and post links here from time to time when those other topics come up for discussion.

President Trump could even have a staffer host the podcast and the President could be a guest from time to time.

They could focus on one issue per podcast as an example.

This is a marathon not a sprint—plenty of time to follow that strategy.

Good post. The message is the most critical!
Word is Biden will start to goad Trump into nasty responses which he is well known for. Mean tweets helped Biden immensely. People tire quickly from negativity. I hope Trump hires a comedy team to mock Biden instead of winging it.
My advice. “Act like you’ve been there before!”

I like that format. He’s seems more at ease talking to/with someone.

If you think how many iPhones are out there and consider each one has the Podcast app built in, and that not only supporters but detractors would listen, haha - it would crush Apple’s podcast CDN.

I have no problem with mean tweets—if they are part of a coherent message that has been planned in advance.

Often we do not have the inside information to know whether that is the case for individual tweets.

The message should always be Deep State/Democrat/mass media collusion/lawfare/corruption/lying—for example.

The key concepts should be identified and repeated constantly because it is a war of agendas and messaging.

This might be a bit somber—but President Trump could invite family members of people murdered by illegal invaders.

Trump did that in 2015 or 16, and brought up several dozen family members who's loved ones were victims of illegals, during a series of Trump events. It was predictable and should have been done long ago. I recall a few people back then thought Trump wouldn't do it, but he did. There was a few threads right here about it. The Communist left didn't like it one bit.

In today’s world we really speak so many different languages without realizing it.

One thing that good podcasts do is they have episodes carefully defining their terms so they can use them without confusing people. Those become “reference” episodes for newbies.

In this case President Trump’s staffer could have a podcast defining lawfare, another explaining the cheating in the 2020 election, another explaining the role of the FBI in J6, another explaining the targeting and persecuting of J6 participants, another—or maybe more than one—on different aspects of the illegal invasion, another on inflation and the economy etc etc etc.

There is no way Biden can debate anyone in his present state of dementia. He will be heavily drugged for the SOTU and expect will deliver an incoherent speech punctuated with venomous digs at Trump and MAGA extremists. Of course the sycophant media will hail his ramblings as the greatest oratory since Demosthenes or Cicero.

If they allow seconds, Trump should invite Cruz. He was a master debater in high school.

He's already proven to be a chronic maskerbator.

"Not forever...just for 100 days"

And how many extensions to the TSA public transit mask mandate?

The Republican party quit the presidential debate commission so there would be no way to have a debate. Trump would have to join back again.

That’s when Biden asks for the Doors song to be played every night:

People are strange
When you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you’re alone

Women seem wicked
When you’re unwanted
Streets are uneven
When you’re down

When you’re strange
Faces come out of the rain
When you’re strange
No one remembers your name

When you’re strange

People are strange
When you’re a stranger
Faces look ugly
When you’re alone

Biden would prefer a fistfight.

Or just let Chris Christie or Nikki Haley do the commission work for him.
Trump: “Can I trust you on this?”
Both: “Yes, Don. Trust us.”
