Surely Trump is the one pulling out, how can he spin it differently?

The body that organises the debates has said it has to be online so he can't blame Biden surely

Doesn’t he get that offering free medication to all Americans is socialised medicine😱😂

He’s more likely to lose Republican votes with that tactic 😂😂

It's being intimated that Biden will get a full 90 minute Q&A session to himself, as Trump is ruling himself out of the next Debate as he refuses to do it online.

No idea how true this is, just trying to verify it, but this article seems to think it's possible

People are still saying "over 210,000 deaths" for the USA, which is true but not the whole picture.

Johns Hopkins University is saying 217,066 for today, up from 216,784 yesterday and 215,852 the day before.

(He sounds a little hoarse.)
how did he bounce back so quickly
I expected much worse than 'a little hoarse'

I think the steroids are still messing with Trump's paranoia, he dissed both Barr and Pompeo this morning during his Fox rant

Is that true about steroids, I mean I've heard people saying he has 'roid rage' as if he's an athlete using a high dose of testosterone, he's not taking those kinds of steroids though is he?

A statement from the Trump campaign about the next Debate being online. So they don't want it, they want to move dates. Call the shots basically.

Good grief.
Is it written by a 12 year old?
This is soooo embarrassing.

There's something of the North Korea about that statement - have they been taking lessons?

Nah, it's only socialized medicine when it's offered to anyone else but them. They 'deserve' it, others are 'freeloading'.

Pump someone up with enough drugs and they can do just about anything.

Especially when our expectations bar regarding their coherency is pretty low in the first place.

It does read like a Team America statement 😂

What would Toby Ziegler think?! 😜

I hardly ever watch the news at the but I’ve just watched Olivia Troy (?sp), Pence’s former press secretary, absolutely shred Pence and Trump on Sky News. No punches pulled. It was rather refreshing.

At least they've removed the reference to the Swamp People of Debate commission.

On of off the meds I would think:

Republican rhetoric about treason and violence continues to bear fruit...

FBI busts militia 'plot' to abduct Michigan Gov Gretchen Whitmer
www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54470427

Mrs Whitmer has become a target of coronavirus sceptics after enacting strict mitigation measures that were overturned by a judge last week.
Officials say the kidnapping plot involved six men who planned to hold a "treason trial" for her. Mrs Whitmer's office has yet to comment.
In May, armed protesters opposed to lockdown stormed the state capitol.

Good work by the FBI but so scary for her.

This man is deplorable.

Jason Miller on Fox 'news': "If we want to talk about hatred, then Gov. Whitmer, go look in the mirror -- the fact that she wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart for President Trump."'

Eek.

Apparently the new uniforms that Trump (personally ran up on his Sewing machine) has ordered for the military will have belts. Because "they wanted belts"
That's a slam dunk vote winner. Belts. Biden must be kicking himself. Belts.

They should invest instead in these fly swatters sold by the Biden campaign.

This is good. All whilst Trump will hold a superspreader rally...
