Trump once again cast uncertainty over his participation in the ABC News debate with Vice President Kamala Harris, taking aim at the ‘FAKE NEWS’ network.

I watched ABC FAKE NEWS this morning, both lightweight reporter Jonathan Carl’s(K?) ridiculous and biased interview of Tom Cotton (who was fantastic!), and their so-called Panel of Trump Haters, and I ask, why would I do the Debate against Kamala Harris on that network?

Who’s surprised he’s trying to chicken out?

    Great. Give Harris the time slot for a big town hall speech and Q&A. Every 15 minutes, read a reminder to everyone watching that Trump declined to debate.

      Keep the two podiums and put a wax figure of Trump in a chicken suit behind the other one. Put the camera on it with dead air for a few seconds every time it’s his turn to speak.

        The chicken suit is too on the nose. And a cardboard cutout is probably way cheaper than a wax statue.

          There’s no such thing as “too” on the nose when it comes to needling Trump and his gaggle of dipshits.

          I agree with the cardboard cutout part, though: half-assed shoddiness represents him more authentically and he deserves no better.

            Have someone run in half way through to spray orange spray paint on the cardboard face, call it a touch up.

        Use cheap, low density wax and it’ll slowly melt under the studio lights over to course of the program, which would be hilarious.

        Ice sculpture so as the night progresses the sculpture gets sadder looking.

        Just do the debate, give his time to a ticker that just says “trump was too scared to be here, I concede the rest of my time.” For every question.

        Seems fair.

      Have a ticker constantly running at the bottom that #1 he backed out, #2 she only agreed to consider to debate on Fox “News” after the ABC debate which he already agreed to.
