Now that Donald Trump has stated he will refuse to show up for a scheduled September 4 debate with Vice President Kamala Harris hosted by ABC News, online chatter has intensified suggesting that the failed one-term former president is terrified of facing Harris, who is a formidable debater.
According to NBC News, Trump claims he only agreed to debate President Joe Biden and therefore isn’t obligated to show up since Biden has dropped out of the 2024 race for the White House.
The former president said the ABC debate was agreed to when President Joe Biden was the presumptive Democratic nominee “but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant.”
Trump also cited his active defamation lawsuit against ABC and the network’s anchor George Stephanopoulos — but that lawsuit was filed in March and the Biden-Trump debate on ABC was announced in May.
On Sunday, the phrase “Trump is a coward” began trending on Truth Social, which is partially owned by the convicted felon and ex-head of state.
At one point, “Trump is a coward” reached the third spot on trending posts Truth Social features, just behind “Jesus” and “Faith.”
The phrase has also become a trending hashtag on Twitter.
Trump has yet to respond to his being called a coward, but it should be fun to watch and see how long that lasts.
