MAGA Scrambles to Excuse Trump Chickening Out of Second Debate

Donald Trump is refusing to debate Kamala Harris again.

Donald Trump flubbed the last debate. His allies know it, his fundraisers know it—but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to admit it.

On Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee announced that he had decided not to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time, writing in a lengthy rant on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” (Apparently he’s counting his debate against Joe Biden.)

But less than 24 hours after the major reversal, Trump’s team was already working to explain away why the country would be getting less of their candidate.

    Why does everyone here in Lemmy feel it’s an affront to disagree or clarify something?!

    I do not care to continue to bend over backwards to interpret and conjure what possible sense Trump may have had. He is spewing hateful bullshit and I will not indulge him filling the blanks. If you want to keep on translating for Trump, that’s on you

    I’ve attempted to educate.

    Yeah, I’m the pedantic one here…

    I have work in the medical field for 20 years; I have yet to hear anyone refer to a dead fetus removal as an abortion. Abortion is defined as the “termination of pregnancy”… when a fetus dies for natural causes, the pregnancy has been terminated; any and all procedures afterwards to safeguard the life of the mother are NOT considered an abortion.
