Oh damn. That flew right over my head as a kid since I didn't know about presidential terms & term limits in the US.

[-] Etterra@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Tweet this at the orange idiot. I'd do it but I ditched Twitter when Musky took over.

[-] Dagamant@lemmy.world 123 points 2 weeks ago

They should still have the debate. Empty podium and all.

[-] ChonkyOwlbear@lemmy.world 74 points 2 weeks ago

Even better, have a fact checker repeat a summarized version of Trump's previous answers to similar questions and then explain why it was a lie.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 20 points 2 weeks ago

Or have it cut to the empty podium for 2 seconds, before they say "oh yeah, Donald Trump was too tired to attend today, too tired, very tired candidate..."

[-] twei@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 2 weeks ago

Or say "Wow the crowd is going crazy for you Mr. Trump" followed by a shot of an empty row of seats

[-] barsquid@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

This is even better than saying he is a coward. We should be spamming social media, "low energy Donald too old for second debate."

[-] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

I vote that he's replaced with a slowly melting ice cube.

[-] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 9 points 2 weeks ago

I vote that he is replaced with a robot that cracks eggs into a cold pan at a rate of 1 egg every 10 minutes.

[-] Aurenkin@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 weeks ago

Come on, we can't replace him with something more competent

Tub of lard. (All three things have replaced British politicians)

They should ask the questions to both candidates, and just cut to an empty podium every time it's Trump's turn.

"Mr. President, you have one minute to respond to the Vice President's claims."

crickets

[-] el_doso@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Would backfire with whoever is somehow still undecided, I fear

Back before the 2016 Conventions, Donnie challenged Bernie Sanders to a debate. Bernie accepted and Trump had to run away from his own challenge. Worse, the event was supposed to raise money for charity...

[-] rickdg@lemmy.world 48 points 2 weeks ago

Best entrenched base wins. Go vote and take your friends.

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 44 points 2 weeks ago
[-] Furbag@lemmy.world 34 points 2 weeks ago

Pussy ass bitch got obliterated and is running scared. Can't even get a single conherent sentence about policy out of his mouth.

Vote in November and make sure his ass lands in a prison cell.

[-] Minarble@aussie.zone 29 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is a scaredy cat man

[-] SelfProgrammed@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Because that's what winners do /s

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 28 points 2 weeks ago

Tbf, maybe he's too busy digging a key out of his small intestines with his own hands?

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 23 points 2 weeks ago

careful, pussy; you might grab yourself.

[-] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 21 points 2 weeks ago

Sad. What a loser. His campaign is a total disaster.

[-] Pistcow@lemm.ee 19 points 2 weeks ago
[-] halferect@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is such a lil bitch.

[-] BlucifersVeinyAnus@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 weeks ago

At his age he’s probably exhausted, can you blame him?

[-] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

Biggest coward in politics heh

[-] Plum@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago
[-] 800XL@lemmy.world 14 points 2 weeks ago

Trump is a whiny loser and a coward. He knows it, Ivana knew it, Marla Maples knew it, Karen McDougall knew it, the underage sex workers on Epstein islend knew it, Melania knows it, and Loomer knows it.

Big sad.

[-] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago
[-] lando55@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

A coodle doodle doo!

[-] Hux@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

I think October 23rd would be an ideal date to organize anyone with a non-disclosure agreement with Trump to break that agreement en masse and share all the details of what he doesn’t want the public to know.

It’s be great fodder for the news cycle leading up to Election Day and I doubt Trump has the resources to legally pursue so many people for NDA breaches at the same time.

[-] Ragnarok314159@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 weeks ago

Just remember none of his supporters care. They know he lies, is a draft dodging coward, and a little bitch.

It’s about motivating others to get out and vote.

[-] Cephalotrocity@biglemmowski.win 12 points 2 weeks ago
[-] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 weeks ago

He's confused bc he got spanked really hard and didn't have to pay anyone for it

[-] p5yk0t1km1r4ge@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Of course he does because he's a fucking moron and a coward

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

He knows he would lose.

[-] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

Why? He said he won the last one hands down- I need to know what other pets are being eaten!!!

Weird coward.

[-] modifier@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 weeks ago

Trump = big sloppy pussy

[-] just_another_person@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago
[-] chrischryse@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Out of curiosity why wouldn't Harris just try to do it on Fox News in order to prove that even ABC wasn't being "biased" like people claim

[-] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 12 points 2 weeks ago

A place that would have moderators willing to lie would be a rather risky place to do a debate. I'd imagine fox news could end up doing false "fact checks" on her and letting trump spew lies with impunity
