Trump is demanding the last debate is completely on Foreign policy....

I'll bet it is so he can try and ramble on about Ukraine and Hunter for an hour. Guaranteed. So transparent

[onecaliberal]

1. Are they going to mute him? If not there is no reason for Biden to go.

[spanone]

2. Put your demands up your ass, trump

None of it is 'your call'

Show up or don't

[TheBlackAdder]

46. To quote, well me, "Spanky, you're in no position to make demands!"

[spanone]

47. Precisely.

[Claustrum]

3. Trump also don't want to talk about COVID, his taxes, his failures

Of course I agree with you about Hunter.

[Siwsan]

4. I hope they don't set precedent by caving in to his 'demands'

He's bullied his way through his entire life. It's time he hits the wall.

[lagomorph777]

21. And he's calling them the "Biden Debate Commission?" Great way to charm them, pal.

They'll tell him to fuck off.

[regnaD kciN]

34. If they cave, Joe should withdraw...

(Personally, I think he should anyway. This debate can only help Trump. These demands give Biden the justification for backing out.)

[LisaL]

5. They should tell him, thanks, but no thanks.

Who cares what he demands?

[sunonmars]

7. and does he not know Biden is literally the foreign policy expert but we know his game here.

[Doodley]

6. Trump trying to change the rules to suit only him again.

[sunonmars]

9. Will he throw another wobbler and say he's being treated badly and not come.

[LisaL]

11. It takes two to tango.

Biden doesn't have to agree to any of his demands.

[Laelth]

8. Huh? Trump doesn't get to choose the debate topics.

Certainly, he knows this. Is he looking for an excuse not to participate?



-Laelth

[sunonmars]

12. Quite probable

[LizBeth]

10. Trump can't pronounce the names, gets countries and cities wrong. Can't retain foreign information.

He would simply amplify his stupid.

[Caliman73]

13. I would stipulate that with the demand that the debate be virtual.

Give Trump what he wants on the topic. Get leverage on the setting. We were able to have a virtual debate in 1960, so we can certainly have one now. Trump AND/OR Biden could be muted if necessary to allow for an actual debate and not a free for all with Trump spouting his deranged conspiracies.

It also keeps them from trying to hit Biden on the "court packing" nonsense.

Stupid ass, as if Biden has anything to worry about from Trump on Foreign Policy. That is in his wheelhouse.

[LisaL]

18. Why should anybody agree to his demands?

Topics have been set.

[Hugin]

14. Gee, Biden Debate Commission? Passive aggressive, much?

What foreign policy? That part about kissing Kim's butt while he went ahead building missiles and testing nukes? Yah, let's go there!

[lagomorph777]

37. Yeah, way to get on their good side! They are pissed that Trump wasted the first debate.

[Bad Thoughts]

15. Start with abandoning the Kurds and leaving bases to Russia.

[crickets]

33. 👆 THIS. nt

[Johnny2X2X]

16. He's going to pull out!

The topics were already agreed to, stick with them.

[Buckeyeblue]

17. Friday is not going to happen.

Trump is going to try to make it chaotic and then drop out claiming the debates are unfair to him.

[NCDem47]

25. Sure looking that way.

And then magically produce a rally or TV one-on-one interview at the same time.

DUDE, we're on to your schemes.

It's all pointless really.

Joe just needs to stay above the fray and stick to the script.

[Drunken Irishman]

27. Definitely won't happen no matter what - the debate is Thursday.

[Buckeyeblue]

49. LOL. We should tell Trump it's Friday

[chriscan64]

19. It must be bad

if all he wants to talk about is the "dirt on Joe" from Ukraine, opening up the door to the impeachment stuff again. The commission should say no. Go back to your debate prep of yelling at Rudy or some lackey.

[lagomorph777]

20. Yep - but he'll regret making it about foreign policy; he is a national security threat.

Biden will destroy him.

[LisaL]

23. He shouldn't be allowed to make debate on a topic he wants to talk about.

NT

[themaguffin]

45. that's what Pence did...

[Tom Rinaldo]

22. Biden doesn't need this debate, Trump does. Biden should hold firm n/t

[moondust]

24. And the Middle East.

He wants to blow about the deal between Israel and some Arab states that Bibi likely cooked up to help his fellow crook's re-election in the U.S.

[TheCowsCameHome]

26. ANY topic, excluding his bloated ego, is foreign to him.

I hope he gets his ass kicked on Thursday.

[NCDem47]

29. And that was met with one big collective eye roll from America.

Serioulsy...most did not give a shit about it or even heard about it. Total farce.

[Drunken Irishman]

28. No. He doesn't want to talk about COVID.

[crickets]

35. Yep. He really wants that topic to go away. nt

[themaguffin]

44. He wants foreign policy to insert Hunter into everything

[crickets]

48. Oh absolutely. It's blatantly transparent.

He isn't taking into account that the tactic would backfire on him in a heartbeat given his miserable foreign policy track record. The betrayal of the Kurds alone was horrific.

[Boogiemack]

30. Nope! It's not foreign policy that is crushing the American people right now.

They don't get to choose. All bets are off if they cave to his demands.

[BlueIdaho]

31. Let me guess... Ukrainian Conspiracies for 500 Alex?

I’ve already voted and I’m not watching. Period.

[jayfish]

32. Sound Great.

Just have a big globe on stage and ask Trump to point to country X or Y. They don't have to be obscure countries either.

[regnaD kciN]

36. That letter is basically an invitation for the commission to tell him to F off...

Really diplomatic. And really rational.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Sure

We can talk about how much he kisses Puty's booty and the hineys of other dictators.

[dalton99a]

39. Yep, foreign policy means Ukraine Hunter Biden hard drive hard drive Hunter Biden Ukraine

[Doodley]

40. Trump's foreign policy: I Donald Trump hate foreigners, as seen in my words and actions.

[treestar]

41. Since he knows nothing about it compared to Biden

That's a good way for him to lose bigly.

[themaguffin]

42. If trump isn't muted, it will be WORSE than last time & filled with ugly attacks on Hunter

[Mr. Ected]

43. Or explain that fighter jets are enroute to Iran as he speaks

Or Winnipeg, or Cuba, or wherever. The bombee doesn't matter; I'm afraid he wants to gin up an armed conflict to muck up our plans to kick his ass to the curb.

[jmowreader]

50. Not a good plan, Don Don

First, Biden is very good at foreign policy. Trump is somewhat good at being Donald Trump.

Second, any discussion of foreign policy wlll eventually turn into a discussion about Trump's trade wars.

Third, it might be interesting to ask Don Don, "can you name one foreign leader who doesn't think you're a buffoon, hate your guts, or both?"

And fourth, if you stand there doing nothing but repeating the words "Ukraine," Burisma" and "Hunter Biden," they're going to send in four large men dressed in white coats who are carrying a butterfly net, a straitjacket and a one-quart syringe full of Thorazine.
