Donald Trump flubbed the last debate. His allies know it, his fundraisers know it—but that doesn’t mean they’re willing to admit it.

On Thursday, the Republican presidential nominee announced that he had decided not to debate Vice President Kamala Harris for a second time, writing in a lengthy rant on Truth Social that “THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” (Apparently he’s counting his debate against Joe Biden.)

But less than 24 hours after the major reversal, Trump’s team was already working to explain away why the country would be getting less of their candidate.

    Also, there’s a school of thought out there that Trump has a little crush on Kamala. Creepy, but credible. They’re citing a prior 9/11 memorial get together where you see him on camera more or less asking for an introduction to her.

    Lol if this is true, its one of the most incredible things I’ve ever heard hahahaha…

    My issues is that I can’t even imagine someone as narcissistic as Trump having a “crush” on anyone but himself (or perhaps in the very short term, the last person that buttered him up).

      I don’t think he has crushes, I think he has things he wants - and for him some of those ‘things’ are women. At least he didn’t try to grab her by the pussy. He’s such a malignant little fuck.
