I'm not surprised that Trump doesn't want to debate. It seemed to me that he experienced a progressive decline in his ability to speak, coherently anyway, during his Presidency, that it accelerated after his bout with covid, and that it seems to have continued during his post-presidency. His entourage must be horrified at the prospect of putting that on display in debates, and it has probably reached the point where even Trump can't pretend anymore.

I doubt that they'll even want to put him on display in a debate with Biden, but he probably will overrule them on that, to his disadvantage.

He won’t overrule them. Deep down he knows he can’t handle answering questions. His whole schtick is slinging incoherent garbage that his intellectually challenged base eats up.

He is terrified of debating Biden, remember he wimped out on the second debate last time. If he did show up and Biden put on his aviators t**** would run off the stage

Regardless, Fox News will declare him the "winner" of the debate. Isn't that what really matters? :)
