They should still have the debate. Empty podium and all.
Even better, have a fact checker repeat a summarized version of Trump's previous answers to similar questions and then explain why it was a lie.
Or have it cut to the empty podium for 2 seconds, before they say "oh yeah, Donald Trump was too tired to attend today, too tired, very tired candidate..."
Or say "Wow the crowd is going crazy for you Mr. Trump" followed by a shot of an empty row of seats
This is even better than saying he is a coward. We should be spamming social media, "low energy Donald too old for second debate."
I vote that he's replaced with a slowly melting ice cube.
I vote that he is replaced with a robot that cracks eggs into a cold pan at a rate of 1 egg every 10 minutes.
Come on, we can't replace him with something more competent
A head of lettuce?
Still too lively.
They should ask the questions to both candidates, and just cut to an empty podium every time it's Trump's turn.
"Mr. President, you have one minute to respond to the Vice President's claims."
crickets
Back before the 2016 Conventions, Donnie challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie accepted and Trump had to run away from his own challenge. Worse, the event was supposed to raise money for charity...
Best entrenched base wins. Go vote and take your friends.
Pussy ass bitch got obliterated and is running scared. Can't even get a single conherent sentence about policy out of his mouth.
Vote in November and make sure his ass lands in a prison cell.
Trump is a scaredy cat man
Tbf, maybe he's too busy digging a key out of his small intestines with his own hands?
Because that's what winners do /s
careful, pussy; you might grab yourself.
Sad. What a loser. His campaign is a total disaster.
lil bitch
Trump is such a lil bitch.
At his age he’s probably exhausted, can you blame him?
Biggest coward in politics heh
Bok bok
Trump is a whiny loser and a coward. He knows it, Ivana knew it, Marla Maples knew it, Karen McDougall knew it, the underage sex workers on Epstein islend knew it, Melania knows it, and Loomer knows it.
Big sad.
Bawk, bawk, backaw!
A coodle doodle doo!

He's confused bc he got spanked really hard and didn't have to pay anyone for it
I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.
It’s be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.
Just remember none of his supporters care. They know he lies, is a draft dodging coward, and a little bitch.
It’s about motivating others to get out and vote.
He knows he would lose.
Of course he does because he's a fucking moron and a coward
Why? He said he won the last one hands down- I need to know what other pets are being eaten!!!
Trump = big sloppy pussy
Weird coward.

Oh why did something happen
Out of curiosity why wouldn't Harris just try to do it on Fox News in order to prove that even ABC wasn't being "biased" like people claim
A place that would have moderators willing to lie would be a rather risky place to do a debate. I'd imagine fox news could end up doing false "fact checks" on her and letting trump spew lies with impunity
