'He'll ask me tough questions and it'll be unfair': Trump accuses presidential debate moderator Chris Wallace of being 'controlled by the radical left'

President Donald Trump took swings at Chris Wallace days before the Fox News host is to moderate the first presidential debate – accusing Wallace of being 'controlled' by the left.

The president has long complained that he gets unfair treatment in debates, and his team spent months seeking to negotiate better terms as he prepares to face Democrat Joe Biden stage.

But with a prime-time clash set on dicey topics as the coronavirus, race, and social unrest, Trump opted to go after the moderator with the ability to sift questions and pursue follow-ups.

He'll ask me tough questions and it'll be unfair, I have no doubt about it,' Trump predicted. 'But he'll be controlled by the radical left. They control him,' he said in an interview with Fox & Friends cohost Brian Kilmeade on Kilmeade's radio show Thursday.

Trump went on to tout the ratings that Trump brought Wallace in their July interview.

'Chris likes me because his world is all about ratings,' Trump said.

'I would be willing to bet that he won't ask Biden tough questions,' he said.

Don't worry Mr. President, the debate is scheduled way past Joe's bed time.

He'll be a no-show with a stupid excuse.

Even if they tried giving Joe the answers through a hidden earpiece, he'd screw up in trying to repeat the words.

Trump is stating an obvious truth, and yet they’ll make it look like it’s just sour grapes.

He’s a leftwing uniparty loyalist, not very bright and wants to return to the status quo.

But I repeat myself.

“Snowballs for Biden; hardballs for Trump.”

More like air kisses and hand grenades.

In any case the moderators do not know with whom they’re playing with because Trump will come down on them - snarky enough that they won’t know what hit them.

” More like cotton balls for Biden, tossed lovingly by Wallace.”

Cannot understand how/why GOP agreed to the Political Hack, Wallace as a “moderator”? Moderator, my ass. Hack, Lib Dim fake news spouter. Again, agree Plugs already practicing answers to questions. Can see the Cotten and chicken feathers floating towards Biden now.

I am pretty sure there should be a comma in there. As in “He will ask me tough questions, and it’ll be unfair” The way it is written it appears that Trump is claiming that tough questions are unfair not Chris Wallace.

How did you manage to take a peak at Wallace’s notebook?

I thought “Wallace” was spelled “Wallass”.

So then why is he bothering? Just refuse until he gets Hannity as the moderator. No Hannity. No debate.

Having Greg Gutfeld, Jesse Waters and Tyrus moderate the debate would have been very entertaining and informative.
