The former president took a shot at ABC News, which is set to host the debate in September.

Former President Donald Trump continued his attacks against ABC News on Monday as he moved to shift his commitment to the next presidential debate now that Vice President Kamala Harris is the frontrunner to be the Democratic nominee.

Trump began laying the groundwork this weekend to dodge or change the rules of the second debate he’s agreed to, which is set to be held Sept. 10 and broadcast on ABC. The former president has been livid after President Joe Biden ended his bid for reelection on Sunday.

“ABC Fake News is such a joke, among the absolute WORST in the business,” he wrote on Truth Social. “They then tried to make ‘Sleepy’ look like a great President — he was the WORST, and Lyin’ Kamala into a competent person, which she is not.”

Awww, poor Dementia Don the racist rapist with 34 felonies that can't complete a coherent sentence, is scared. BIG SCARED!!! Chicken ass bitch.
The media should crucify him for this. Call him afraid.
I really, really, really want to see campaign ads calling Trump out as a coward and chicken.

Dodge the draft.

Dodge the debate.

Like a typical cowardly bully, running away from any fights he doesn't know he can win.

Just 30 seconds of "Is Trump a yellow bellied coward? Clip of him backing out of debate. Followed by the rest of the air time of just a chicken running around clucking."
Smart move. Can you imagine Trump debating a literal prosecutor? Not just a prosecutor, but a highly successful one who prosecuted for-profit fraudulent colleges like the one he owned? Would be an absolute nightmare for him.
That's it, I'm calling all cowards "orange" from now on.

This may be the only thing 45 has actually earned in his time on this godforsaken rock, a nickname for uninspired dipshits.
The prospect of being shown up on such a big stage by a black woman is terrifying to him.
If Kamala isn't competent, as Trump is stating, then it shouldn't be a problem for him.
Terrified Trump is scared to face a prosecutor.
Sounds like the convicted felon is skeeeeered.
Oooooh, don't you think he looks tired and scared? Trump's too much of a coward to debate Kamala, just like we all knew he would be
Is it because he's too old?
He's afraid of smart women.
He’s a bully. Bullies won’t enter a fight if they don’t think their ego can take the repercussions.
Look at that guy run! You wouldn't know he was in his 70s by the way he's running away from Harris!
She should do the debate anyway. Have an empty podium next to hers.

Maybe put an old hamberder on it.
He's such a pussy, he needs to be careful that he doesn't grab himself by accident.
The scariest thing a man his age can even think of... Arguing with a woman.
Lose-lose for him. He ducks it, and it shows the world (again) what a chickenshit he is. He participates, she will kick his ass and he knows it.
Let's go, Lion Kamala! 🦁
RAGEQUIT!
They should start taunting him that he’s scared and call him a chicken.
If you can dodge a draft you can dodge a debate. I mean ball.
Debates should be mandatory for frontrunners, voting should be compulsory
PUSSY
Hahahaha how can you Americans vote for such a pussy.

Hahaha
If Trump refuses to debate, could Kamala still use that airtime to give a campaign speech or something? Like ABC has that time slot blocked out for the debate already, might as well use it productively even if there's no debate
Wussy
Convicted Felon Donald Project 2025 Trump doubles Down on Presidential Debate Cowardice
Trump worried he might not be the better golfer in this debate
I get it. Guys his age need lots of rest.

(He's now the oldest one in the race so you're damn right I'm going to say everything about Trump they said about Biden)
Low energy.
Dodging Harris like he dodges bullets
Old chickenshit finally getting the picture is he?
“John Doe 174” (a.k.a. Mr. Trump) certainly wants to avoid being asked about a young 13-year old girl named Katie Johnson, who was ordered to perform various sexual services for him on Epstein island 🏝️ on multiple occasions.

Old racist bitch.
Nothing stronger than an old mans fear. K, his ego maybe.
Pussy bitch.
Aw... what happened to:

"I got him out of the race, and that means we have Kamala. I think she’s gonna be better. She’s so bad. She’s so pathetic. She’s so fucking bad."

Can't make fun of her for being a woman or black like he did Biden for being tired and old? Where's that "Grab 'em by the pussy" bravado now?
still waiting for an outlet to post the actual fact that trump and his muppets are scared fucking cowards
Isn't ABC a moderate?
It continues to surprise me that such a winey, cowardly, inauthentic and excuse ridden blob is able to muster devotion from so many people. Racism must be a powerful drug.
Ok let's go back to the old format. It's only fair
It’s not like they’re changing the fighter of an underground boxing match the day before. Oh, wait, he is so senile, that’s exactly what he thinks is going on.
Once the polls flip, trump will be begging Kamala to debate him out of desperation
I'm reminded of the South Park episode where Cartman tries to avoid fighting Wendy.
What a WIMP! An OLD WIMP!
It's okay guys he so old he can't work past 8pm.
looks like the libertarian party is taking his spot (/j unfortunately)
Donald Duck 🦆
