The Biden campaign on Wednesday rejected the prospect of adding debates with former President Trump beyond the two that the candidates have already agreed to after Trump’s campaign suggested holding additional debates this summer.

“Donald Trump has a long history of playing games with debates: complaining about the rules, breaking those rules, pulling out at the last minute, or not showing up at all — which he’s done repeatedly in all three cycles he’s run for president,” Biden campaign chair Jen O’Malley Dillon said in a statement.

“He said he would debate President Biden anytime, anywhere, anyplace,” O’Malley Dillon continued. “In fact, he’s said and posted it dozens of times with varying degrees of comprehension and basic grammar. President Biden made his terms clear for two one-on-one debates, and Donald Trump accepted those terms.”

“No more games. No more chaos, no more debate about debates,” she said. “We’ll see Donald Trump on June 27th in Atlanta – if he shows up.”

5. Motherfucker won't show

He’s a fucking coward and if he doesn’t get his plants in an audience the shitbag’s energy will be non-existent even with him being pumped up with everything from Adderall to meth.

I love the fact that during his twice daily whines that the NY press is cutting him down at the knees with their questions.

“Are you afraid?”
“Where’s Melania?”
“Why Hannibal Lecter?”

6. If Trump doesn't show up, they should run a Biden commercial.

Should be part of the rules, no show equals free commercial.

19. I'd rather see Pres. Biden debate a cardboard cutout of trump

7. "In fact, he's said and posted it dozens of times with varying degrees of comprehension and basic grammar..."

That's a GREAT line! I love it!!!

8. Smokin' Joe has the Flan from Sleepy Hollow on the ropes.

If I was President Biden I would walk out on the debate stage with the classic aviators, approach the podium and then carefully pocket the glasses, take a drink with one hand and smile.

11. This

Love it!

9. Remember the empty chair.

If TFG doesn’t show, Joe can debate an empty jail cell.

During the second half of the debate, project a gradually sharper holographic image of him inside it.

10. I'd like to have a beer with Jen O'Malley Dillon.

And I don't even like beer. ❤️

12. Trump will pull something

there is no way in hell he would debate Biden without some shenanigan up his sleeve.....He has never won anything in his life honestly....And NOW, that is true of the entire Republican Party as well...........

[PortTack]

13. Canceling...3.....2...1

[peggysue2]

14. Boom!

President Biden has spoken:

No. More. Games.

[70sEraVet]

15. Trump will say that the 'illegal' gag order prevents him from debating Biden.

He wants rallies, not debates.

[Montauk6]

16. GET 'EM, JOE!!!!

Keep up your strategy of not dealing with terrorists!

[Uncle Joe]

18. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread BumRushDaShow

20. By then...

He might have a valid excuse because he could be wearing an ankle bracelet and not really mentally functional to any degree that he can interact in any way that would be acceptable.

21. TFG made Biden an offer he couldn't refuse.

Who would refuse an own goal?
