Break out the popcorn! Trump says he will ‘absolutely’ debate Kamala Harris
Since Joe Biden announced that he will be stepping down after his term ends, Donald Trump‘s Truth Social account has been taking a battering, with rants about everything from Biden’s unfitness to be in power, to how he (Trump) was forced to ‘take a bullet for democracy’.
There was also this early reaction, on the topic of his intended second debate with Biden.
Many took it as a sign that he was preparing to wriggle out of doing the debate at all.
There it is. Trump is already trying to back out of a debate with Kamala Harris.
He’s running scared. pic.twitter.com/259fgBeFcL

The US Secretary of State for Transportation, Pete Buttigieg told Kaitlan Collins why he believes Trump is afraid to debate Kamala Harris.
Collins: You think Trump is scared to debate her?
Buttigieg: Afraid, yeah
Collins: Why?
Buttigieg: Because I think she is going to be so effective and she's going to lay bare his inability to talk about anything but himself.. pic.twitter.com/dKYXI89OGS

However, it appears Trump is now insisting that he’s not a scared little chicken baby after all.

Have ten debates. One of them in a big circus tent. Another one with cool CGI effects like Tron. Maybe one could happen at a Wacky Warehouse? idk just might be good fun. https://t.co/SDznRG8Fph

But only under a full moon that falls on a third Wednesday and only if she agrees not to speak at all and only if the moderators agree to only ask him why he’s so awesome. https://t.co/xCcMiz4KYM

What he means is he will spew lies for 90 minutes and call her a gross "DEI". While she laughs at him for making poopies in his diaper. https://t.co/e7iNRkjP0u

If we learned anything from the Hilary debate it’s that he doesn’t care about facts. I’m not sure how you debate someone like that, but if anyone can do it— Kamala can. https://t.co/HkEAHPc3cO

Suspect he will find every excuse under the sun to actually avoid debating Harris, but if it happens it would be the highest rating thing in the history of things https://t.co/qfuXN9NywL

Ms Harris isn’t afraid of going toe-to-toe with – well – anyone.
She made Brett Cavanaugh cry, what do you think she's going to do to Trump?

Here’s a snippet of her brutal questioning of Judge Kavanaugh.
Kamala Harris sliced and diced Brett Kavanaugh to the point that Republicans had to bail him out of his stumbling and stammering. How many lies did he tell during his confirmation hearing? pic.twitter.com/C9hfooMnBr
