President Trump on Thursday said he doubted that Chris Wallace would ask Democratic nominee Joe Biden difficult questions during next week’s presidential debate, asserting that the Fox News host is “controlled by the radical left” and that the debate would be “unfair.”

Trump made the comments in an interview on Fox News Radio with host Brian Kilmeade, who swiftly pushed back on the president's claim that Wallace, a veteran anchor and journalist known for his tough questioning, is beholden to Democratic interests.

“Chris is good, but I would be willing to bet that he won’t ask Biden tough questions. He will ask tough questions of me and it will be unfair, I have no doubt about it,” Trump said. “He will be controlled by the radical left.”

Trump noted that he has “a lot of respect” for Wallace and had a good relationship with the journalist's father, Mike Wallace.

2. He's scared! Ha

3. Trump WORKING THE REFS again

No surprise. If debates are so unfair to Trump, Trump should refuse to participate. Tough questioning goes with the territory of the office.

4. Preworking the narrative.

When it’s over and he looks like a fool because he lacks the cognitive abilities to function at this level...he’s excuse will be “sleepy joe got the easy questions”. And the base will know it’s true (By trumpland standards) because he predicted it.

[Bengus81]

15. Yep...Priming the pump as it were. Just like how the election AGAIN will be rigged

[bluestarone]

5. Fucking crybaby

Then cancel the debates and quit bitching!!

[targetpractice]

11. I am flummoxed...

Trump is whiny, bitchy, and constantly blaming others for his problems.

I thought these characteristics were universally recognizable and off-putting... Since childhood, I thought most folks could spot these traits in friends, co-workers, employees, bosses, etc. Apparently, 40% of the US population thinks this childlike behavior is something they want in their leader.

Trump could not manage his way out of a wet paper bag... Why can't people see this?

[Lock him up.]

12. No. I want Joe to smack him down with his dicktatorial BS

of throwing out the ballots and there won't be a transition but a continuation.

Right there in his vlad-loving face.

I want Joe to tell the viewers what a murderous basturd that self-centered narcissist is.


donny "hannibal" dRumpf wants to kill over 72 million in a 2nd term.

LOCK.HIM.UP

6. No---The questions and subjects seem to be tilted in your favor.

In fact---Looks to me like you sent Wallace a memo and he just put it on his own letterhead.

7. He's been complaining about the debates for months.

"It's unfair" will be carved on Trump's tombstone.

[jmowreader]

17. They won't put a stone on Trump's grave...

...and it will be in an undisclosed location, at the request of the police and the CEOs of Facebook and YouTube. It will be the only way to stop “pissing on Trump’s grave” videos from overloading the internet.

8. Trump's flop sweat is showing.

I think this debate might actually be amusing. Trump's bound to do something really dumb.

[bullwinkle428]

10. IOW, questions about completely discredited conspiracy theories.

Think QAnon, Alex Jones, etc.

[gab13by13]

13. Trump probably already has the questions.

[EndlessWire]

14. As noted by Frolic above

He's working it. He's trying to control the debate by intimidating Wallace.

He should just drop out of the debate, for whatever excuse he cares to use. We don't care. We already know he is uber unfit for the job. Why should he open his pie hole and prove it once again?

Maybe he's realized that he can't wander around and menace Joe like he tried to do with Hillary, and dry humping a chairback won't do it, either. "Nasty man" doesn't have a ring to it, either. Not any more.

16. Don't BOTH respond to the same questions?

[MissMillie]

18. Sorry, Mr. Trump, but you're going to have to come up with...

...a better answer than "Man. Woman. Person. Camera. TV."

22. I had the neuropsych test yesterday. It was 2 1/2 hours long.

I was not asked to remember 5 words. I was asked 10 words. I repeated 4. She said the same words again and I had to use the 4 I already used. I repeated 6. I was asked again a 3rd time and repeated 8. She gave me further tests and a half hour later without giving me the words, I answered 9. She seemed surprised that after half an hour I remembered 1 additional word. She showed me a sketch made up of a large rectangle with lines going in different directions inside and outside the rectangle. I copied it exactly and half an hour later she had me sketch it again from memory. Again I did it exactly. The one test I blew. I had to name a fruit and then a piece of furniture and keep alternating. My brain froze after 3 pair. The easiest test was being showed pictures of a square, triangle, and circle and saying what they were. The last test was pronouncing words. I did good until the word was facound. It wasn't so much pronouncing it, I got it right, but I had never seen that word before. No, I did not have to know what the words meant. It would be impossible for trump to pass that test.

19. BS It will be the opposite.

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. Its called "playing the refs" in sports language

Hoping that Fox will scramble now to go over Wallace's question list to strip out any question that their Dear Leader might not like. Or conversely, add on another conspiracy based question to Biden's list to have to take up his debate time answering.

[DeminPennswoods]

21. They're getting the same questions

and each will get a chance to answer.
