Friday Night’s Alright For Fightin’

"Crooked Joe Biden just announced that he’s willing to debate!" Trump posted on Truth Social during a break in the trial. "Everyone knows he doesn’t really mean it, but in case he does, I say, ANYWHERE, ANYTIME, ANYPLACE, an old expression used by Fighters." 
I love the idea that an overweight, out of shape old man who snoozes daily in the courtroom, imagines himself a “Fighter.” And if you have to call attention to it, you ain’t one.
"I suggest Monday Evening, Tuesday Evening, or Wednesday Evening at my Rally in Michigan, a State that he is in the process of destroying with his E.V. Mandate," 
"In the alternative, he’s in New York City today, although probably doesn’t know it, and so am I, stuck in one of the many Court cases that he instigated as ELECTION INTERFERENCE AGAINST A POLITICAL OPPONENT - A CONTINUING WITCH HUNT!" Trump posted. "It’s the only way he thinks he can win. In fact, let’s do the Debate at the Courthouse tonight - on National Television, I’ll wait around!"
Certainly don’t want to do an organized debate with a moderator and an audience; especially not an audience which could ask questions.

And while Trump, even as POTUS, would have time for such an impromptu event, I think Biden has a bit more of a schedule to keep. One that doesn’t involve being in the courtroom all day, though.

And now we know why Trump wants that debate tonight:
The second witness called in the criminal prosecution of Donald Trump was his longtime Executive Assistant Rhona Graff. She later became "Assistant to the President" after his election, then Senior VP for Trump Org. She worked for Trump for 34 years until 2021. 
Prosecutors began her testimony by pointing out that she was compelled to be there by subpoena and she had a lawyer there hired by Trump but she didn't even know her last name. They showed her a list of contacts that she had previously saved and one of them was Stormy Daniels with her phone number. She was asked if she ever saw Daniels at Trump Tower before 2015 and she said that she had and she was aware that she was a porn actress. 
That concluded her testimony, which was simply to show that Trump's Executive Assistant had Stormy's name and phone number on file and that she had been at Trump Tower despite the fact that Trump has repeatedly claimed he didn't know her.
He wants to expunge memory of the last witness of the week. Or does he understand the importance of her brief appearance? Probably not.

Unless it’s held after sundown; that might be a problem.





I'd almost want to see Trump go second to see how he'd respond to what Biden had to say. If Biden went second he'd eviscerate Trump.
Trump has almost completely disappeared into a fantasy world of his own making. Pecker lays the state’s foundations for their case, and Trump thinks it’s a good week.  Graft establishes Trump knew Daniels (and was probably trying first to buy her silence with a fake offer of a TV appearance), and he hugs her on the way out (underlining the fact he has no family/friends in the courtroom). His world is collapsing,,so he invents one where he’s winning.

He could no more debate Biden than he could defend himself in court and win vindication.

    Having recently read through the Lincoln-Douglass debates, I'd suggest a similar format on a specific question with each one having a fixed limit on speaking and no interruptions, no idiot media bobble heads, no stupid audience questions. Trump would sink to the bottom and never come back up.
