Trump bashes ABC, says he's 'less inclined' to do another debate

[SupportSanity]

Source: thehill.com

Former President Trump on Wednesday railed against ABC News over its handling of his debate with Vice President Harris and signaled he may not be interested in attending another one before Election Day.

Trump phoned into “Fox & Friends” the morning after the debate, where he repeatedly attacked ABC for how it fact-checked his statements compared to Harris and at one point suggested the network should have its broadcast license revoked.

“It was three to one. It was a rigged deal, as I assumed it would be,” Trump said.

“A lot of people are very angry about it. You know, you have corrupt news organizations. You have a lot of bad people. It’s amazing,” the GOP presidential nominee continued. “I think ABC took a big hit last night. To be honest, they’re a news organization, they have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”

It's THEIR fault! A way to get out of losing again.

[BOSSHOG]

1. Oh Donald just enjoy the moment

[NoMoreRepugs]

2. Next, the SlobFather begins his playground attack line - "I know you are but what am I?."

[Claustrum]

3. I mean, he did that even before going into this debate.

We had weeks of "would he or wouldn't he?". Just like everything else, don't listen to his wordes/lies. He will say anything that will suit him. He is trying to get the next debate in a format he prefers. He will eventually still do it. It's all just BS.

[Meadowoak]

33. Who cares, we've seen all we need to see.

[PatSeg]

49. So true

Everyone has seen everything Trump has to offer over and over again for years. There are no new tricks in his bag and even his supporters are probably growing weary of his predictable behavior. I suppose that would be why so many leave his rallies early.

[FailureToCommunicate]

4. Yes, DonOLD, that's how the First Amendment works. If you don't like them, take away their

ability to present the news.

Now, please stand still while we fit this white coat on you...

[Siwsan]

5. It sure sounded to me like he was allowed more speaking time than VP Harris

Someone should go through the transcript and highlight when he went off topic and when he lied. I suspect there will be little to no un-highlighted lines.

[Lonestarblue]

9. I also thought the moderators gave him more time when it wasn't his turn but he just kept talking.

As it turned out, that might have been good because he showed what an incoherent old man he is, one who has nothing but tired old lies.

[Wuddles440]

16. Agree..

but it still really pissed me off. As usual, I wanted to jump through the screen and just beat the shit out of him (although if he had a full diaper that may have been rather easy).

[chouchou]

28. I get those wonderful feelings also. ...Except mine also have a Caterpillar D9 Bulldozer with me.

[AndyTiedye]

58. That Would Turn the Constitution Center into a Superfund Site.

How would you clean up all the toxicity that would burst out when he popped?

[oasis]

48. Very true. nt

[Trenzalore]

44. VP Harris was happy with this

The more he talked the better it got for her

[hibbing]

50. I agree with this, they just let him go and go n/t

[Botany]

6. So ABC made Harris kick Trump's ass and only fact checked Trump because he was lying?

“ Trump bashes ABC, says he's 'less inclined' to do another debate.” On no Donny please go
ABC again and lie about immigrants in Springfield, Ohio eating their neighbor’s pets.

Btw I know Springfield and it has had some hard times but to Haitian immigrants it is heaven.
They have good steady jobs, they can get housing, they are no longer living in the poorest
country in the Western Hemisphere, and they can go to stores to buy food.

[ArizonaLib]

7. So there are a lot of bad people at ABC but a lot of good ones were marching in Charlotte's tiki torch parade?

The fact that the polls are tight means that there is a mountain of crap wrong with the electoral process.

[Dem2theMax]

8. "A lot of people are very angry about it."

Photo of 'a lot of people.'



All apologies to everyone's eyeballs.

[electric_blue68]

62. Actually it made me laugh. And idk Why; but I immediately thought of Boris Johnson. Go figure!😀

[Dem2theMax]

66. I had to find one that I knew would piss him off.

And he does have that Boris Johnson look.

[electric_blue68]

68. 😄 👍

[mucholderthandirt]

63. Are a lot of people in the room with us now? Hm? LOL

[AndyTiedye]

75. I've got a meme for that

[IronLionZion]

10. We knew he would chicken out of more debates

[AndyTiedye]

59. There is a Unicode Emoji Just for Him 🐔

Feel free to copy and paste as appropriate. It even looks like him. 🐔

[keithbvadu2]

76. less inclined

[twodogsbarking]

11. S O S

[Lovie777]

12. When will the nightmare end..............................

shithole and the broken vinyl record that is constantly playing the same song. Same shit and another day.

Please make it stop.

[SergeStorms]

55. Even after he loses to Harris......

he'll still be in the new nonstop because the media loves him. His upcoming trials and judgements will saturate the news, and even after his death they'll have never-ending "tributes" to Asswart45.
That doesn't mean we have to watch them, though.

[Johnny2X2X]

13. This is great

She already challenged him to another debate knowing he won't want to go through another thrashing. But if last night gets reflected in the next month's polling, he's going to have no choice but to try to do another debate to save his campaign. She holds all the cards then, she can dictate the terms. Have PBS or NPR moderate. If he's losing badly by October he and his team will be desperate for a hail mary debate.

[durablend]

14. "I wouldn't have lost if I was debating Joe Biden like I was supposed to!"

[Mysterian]

15. Boohoohoo poor wittle baby haz a sadz!!!

This is the "tough guy" republicans want to run our country. Like Harris said, Putin would eat whining sissy trump for lunch.

[twodogsbarking]

17. If he were a boxer they would be carrying him off on a stretcher. A very strong one.

[Jimbo S]

25. Carried by six people

[twodogsbarking]

27. Forklift, operated by someone with no training.

[Bengus81]

18. Aw shucks Donnie,PO'd because they called you out on that outrageous "killing babies right after their born" insanity?

Glad he spewed it several times and then got the big SMACK DOWN.

[Beakybird]

19. Trump got more time to speak should be a Dem talking point.

[poozwah]

20. ABC

A
Brain
Condition
was to blame.

[Happy Hoosier]

21. But wait... I thought polls said he won by 90, 80, 72, 71!!!!!!!

He can't even stick to the same lie.

[Clouds Passing]

22. It is shocking that Muir rebutted Dump's lies!

[Wiz Imp]

32. Only a few

and not any big policy related lies, but Trump was clearly blindsided by any fact checking at all. Especially after saying they would not fact check, ABC deserves credit for pointing out some of the most insane lies he's been telling for a while that nobody has ever pushed back on before.

[dalton99a]

23. Because many people say he won very strongly

[Omnipresent]

35. Well, if he's the "Debate Champion" and the polls are tight.

I guess he wouldn’t mind debating Kamala once again?

[appleannie1]

24. The MAGA crowd are saying they picked on him.

[Jason1961]

26. says he's 'less inclined' to do another debate

Smartest thing he's ever said

[underpants]

29. RWers got a glimpse of reality last night

local talk radio was going off about ABC too. Guess what, the nonsense they hear everyday is just that, nonsense.

[mdbl]

73. Yes, it's ABC's fault he's an unhinged moron jackass

And everyone else's fault too LOL

[Wiz Imp]

30. Harris was smart to immediately challenge him to another

After the beating he took last night, he won't want to face her again unless it was on FOX with Sean Hannity as moderator and an audience packed 100% with his sycophants. Harris won't agree to that.

[ArmedLiberal24]

54. President HArris wiped the floor with little orange diaper man DICtatator wanabe!TRE45ON.

This DICtator wanabe will ONLY face President HArris again if it is on FAUX and he is given all answers in advanced and allowed to shout and talk over her while no response will be allowed for her.Agent orange and maga are in no position to demand anything of the next debate.TRE45ON.

[Jilly_in_VA]

31. Chickenshit bastard

can't admit he's losing, and worse yet, losing to a WOMAN!

[Think. Again.]

34. that's right donny!

You should stop doing ANY media!

That'll show 'em!!!

[bucolic_frolic]

36. Joe Biden knew when to get out, Donnie. Time for Trump to QUIT THE RACE too!! /nt

[whopis01]

37. It is funny what a good ass-kicking will do to you. n/t

[samsingh]

38. he's disgraceful and a challenge - he's used to avoiding drafts

[Hotler]

39. And he calls himself a strongman. He wouldn't make a hair on Vic Orban's left nut.

The world is a little be better whenever the orange one is butt hurt.

[hadEnuf]

40. Trump will not participate unless it is rigged for him.

That much is now clear.

He can dish it out but cannot take it.

[cstanleytech]

41. Ya, I'm not surprised that the chicken is running away as she already fried him.

[patphil]

42. It seemed like ABC was being very generous with Trump.

They let him rattle on again and again, like an old car dieseling on cheap gas after you turn the engine off.

Does anyone have a time breakdown of minutes Trump spoke vs Kamala?

[Rob H.]

46. An article on Salon this a.m. by Heather Digby Parton said

he got 5 minutes more than she did, but he also spoke 39 times to Harris' 23 times.

The debate was a total debacle for Donald Trump
Sorry MAGA, the problem wasn't the moderators, it was Trump's big mouth
...

In fact, he had so little trust in (his surrogates') ability to spin his disastrous performance that he personally went into the spin room afterward to boldly lie to the news media and proclaim he actually won the debate, quoting silly Twitter polls as proof. If it had been anyone but Trump it might have even been a little bit sad.

The usual right-wing suspects are all angry at the moderators for fact-checking Trump which they did three times. But they could have spent hours doing that. CNN's Daniel Dale fact-checked the debate in real time and found that Trump had lied 33 times and Harris lied once. The moderators allowed Trump to jump in and speak at the end of Harris' answers resulting in him getting five more minutes than she did. He ended up speaking 39 times while she only spoke 23 times. The problem wasn't the moderators, it was Trump's big mouth.

[patphil]

47. Thanks.

[Rob H.]

43. "(H)e repeatedly attacked ABC for how it fact-checked his statements"

Someone on X was fact-checking Tangerine Palpatine in real time and he lied 33 times in ~45 minutes, so he should be ecstatic that he wasn't fact-checked on air more often.

[tornado34jh]

45. Trump and Maga bastards can complain about the media all they want, but to be brutally honest

It is the media that is keeping him relevant in the first place. If the media had any scruples about them, they would have been fact checking/calling out on Trump way more than they actually do. If anything, he is the best thing the media could have had. Also, if you look at any high-profile person, whether it be a broadcaster, actor, singer, sports athlete and so forth, you are going to be more exposed to the media. I could list countless examples. But let's face it, he wants attention.

[Think. Again.]

51. but donny, what if they let you have a lift box?..

Hmmmm? A little box behind your podium? Wouldn't that be nice donny? Hmmmm?

[Beowulf42]

52. Yah Think?

[ificandream]

53. Notice the threat he made to ABC News?

“A lot of people are very angry about it. You know, you have corrupt news organizations. You have a lot of bad people. It’s amazing,” the GOP presidential nominee continued. “I think ABC took a big hit last night. To be honest, they’re a news organization, they have to be licensed to do it. They ought to take away their license for the way they did that.”

Sounds to me like he'd be going after them should he get re-elected. Can't have anyone but the lame-o's at Fox, right Donnie?

[republianmushroom]

56. Tough night, last night, convicted felon ?

Well today doesn't look to good for you either,
in last nights debate
63 percent pointing toward Harris
37 percent pointing toward the convicted felon

today.
Taylor Swift endorses Kamala Harris for President
Trump Media shares plunge after GOP nominee's debate with Harris

and it is just a little after noon.

[bromeando]

57. Trump

Trump was given a lot of time to spew his nonsense and he still isn't satisfied.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

60. What a weenie

Remember when people showed up to Bush I rallies dressed as chickens 32 years ago? We need to repeat that with Trump.

[Firestorm49]

61. Again the poor loser. Take ABC's license? Bite me! The guys a joke.

No fact checking Harris because she didn’t flagrantly lie to the American people. And Muir should have shut his sorry ass down when he kept breaking the rules.

[quakerboy]

64. Surely a genius who knew what he was walking into

would have done everything necessary to counteract/overcome the situation.

Which means that last night is the absolute best he has to offer, with more prep time than Batman and more resources than Tony Stark.

And still got schooled like a bratty child.

Yikes, eh?

[4lbs]

65. Yeah, how dare they fact-check his outright LIES. They should just let him lie, lie, lie.

Because ya know. It's him

When you're famous, they let you do that. Lie your big diaper load of an ass off.... and grab them by the p*ssy.

[Beartracks]

67. God, he is tiring and pathetic.

[tclambert]

69. When he says "A lot of people are very angry about it," he's just counting voices in his head

isn't he? And really, the voices in his head are the only ones he listens to.

[Evolve Dammit]

70. I'd be less inclined too, you fucking loser. What a worthless waste of human flesh

[Orrex]

71. Why doesn't he just fucking die?

[tonekat]

72. ABC should never cover him again

At least for the remainder of the election season.

[Aussie105]

74. The lady does not tolerate fools easily.

And calls them so to their face.
But gracefully, subtly, and with a smile.

Joe picked a good VP there!
I'm sure the thought of Kamela succeeding him came to him often over the years, and I'm sure that idea made him smile.
