Trump considering skipping general election debates in 2020: report

"SNIP.....
President Trump has been discussing with his campaign advisers whether or not to participate in the general election debates in 2020, two people close to the situation told The New York Times.
According to the sources, Trump doesn't trust the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonprofit organization that puts on the debates. Specifically, Trump is apprehensive of who will be chosen by the organization to moderate the debates, the Times reports.
Trump's campaign reportedly declined to comment on what their plan was for the debates at a state-of-the-race campaign briefing in Arlington, Va.
During the 2016 campaign, the president persistently complained about his debates with former Secretary of State Hilary Clinton, claiming that he was put at a disadvantage.

(13,620 posts)worse by the day. Debating any of his record is beyond him now. Last election he could be more in campaign mode debating his promises. He doesn't know any details on much of what he's actually done, thinks he's done shit that never happened, and lied about the rest.
