    The title is the original title that NYT published. They updated it after backlash (rightfully so). Please don’t report this post again.

      Can you not update the title? I can update my title on posts to different communities… Why preserve the old/pre-change title?

        It says “Trump agrees”. I clicked on it thinking it was a done deal but it’s very much not. It’s misleading.

        Edit- they changed it on the site. But damage is already done to people who just see the original headline and don’t read into it.

          I asked my question because the NYT headline that I personally saw didn’t say “Trump agrees,” and I wanted to verify whether that was the actual headline or an interpretation of it.

    I sincerely hope Harris never meets to debate Trump at Fox. Fox will just ambush Harris and edit the footage to make Harris look dumb or insincere. The whole exercise will be pointless because Americans will not get a fair representation of both candidates.

    According to Mr. Trump’s post on his social media site, the debate is to take place at a to-be-determined location in Pennsylvania, the must-win battleground state that could help decide the election. Fox News anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum would moderate.

    It was unclear early Saturday if Ms. Harris had agreed to the debate and its terms. Representatives for her campaign did not respond to requests for comment. A spokeswoman for Fox News also did not respond to questions.

    I think it’s worth waiting to see if Harris has actually agreed to this, in the extremely unlikely chance that Trump lied about a thing.

    Also, pretty funny that even if that’s the case, Trump still needs a month to prepare and it has to be in his safe space network.

      Well, Harris does have a pre-existing commitment coming up soon. Surprised Trump didn’t challenge her to debate during that.

      The Harris campaign on Saturday declined to commit to the Fox News debate and said it was still planning on a Sept. 10 debate hosted by ABC.

      “Donald Trump is running scared and trying to back out of the debate he already agreed to and running straight to Fox News to bail him out. He needs to stop playing games and show up to the debate he already committed to on Sept. 10,”

      I think that’s pretty clear.

      he is only ‘agreeing’ with the voice inside his head bouncing between the three brain cells. trying to play games and force harris into it.

      i highly doubt harris would agree to those terms. nfw.

      When Trump was in office foreign translators got a ton of shit for doing thier job. So many non English speaking people thought the translators were drunk. That made more sense at the time than The President of the United States of America actually saying the things he said. There was also the time he got laughed at by the entire United Nations.

    Fox Moderator: “Vice President Harris, how would you respond to the accusation that your administration was responsible for the supply-chain crisis, grocery price inflation, massive corporate layoffs, Texas power outages, the summer heat wave, and the border apocalypse?”

    Harris: “What? Now wait…”

    Fox Moderator: “President Trump. They say you have the best golf record of any president in history. How did you accomplish this historic feat?”

      You know he’d completely fuck up the answer and go on ranting about migrants crossing the border, inflation, how smart he is and other rants. In previous interviews on Fox News they have handed him simple questions on a platter which were written to make him look like a good guy…and he completely screws it up and makes him self look like an idiot. It’s actually pretty hilarious.

        Did you see that Fox News one recently where Laura Ingraham repeatedly tried to help Trump’s public image by giving him numerous opportunities (repeating the same soft ball question 4 or 5 times in a row) to walk back or tone down some of his controversial comments? He could not take the hint at all, just kept rambling about completely irrelevant stuff while she desperately tried to feed him the answer. It was pretty funny.

    Yes, the network that had to pay nearly a billion dollars for pushing a false narrative in order to get Trump elected the last time around is the perfect venue. Oh, and a live Fox News audience? What could be bad about that?

    What a joke.

          Side note: Did you happen to see the close ups of Trump’s ear at the ABJ convention? Shit was on FULL DISPLAY and didn’t look shot at all. 🤔

                A 2cm graze wound is different from a 2 cm penetrating wound. Even that fact can be misleading.

              Not from a bullet wound, they don’t.

              I still maintain that he got a scratch from a shard of the teleprompter at worst, and has been milking it for all it’s worth.

            Because it wasn’t. That blood was the spatter from an actual victim behind him. He has been pretending to have been shot, without any actual injury of any kind.

              How could the blood have been from the other victim? They were no where near that close to Trump. They would have had to have been on the stage with him lol

                Blood spatter can travel quite a long distance. The shooting victim was in the crowd immediately behind Trump at what looks to be about 15-20 feet away. If he was that close, a high velocity projectile could create spatter that could reach the podium.

                  Apply Occam’s razor here. Of course he’s milking it for all its worth, but he got hit by something. Bullet graze, shrapnel graze, shattered glass graze, whatever it was it did hit him.

      NYT are fools for using that headline. Their journalists, or editor, obscured the facts with that one. “Updated” headline (not joking):

      Trump Cancels a Debate With Harris on ABC News and Pitches One With Fox News Instead

        The biggest issue is many people will have only seen the first headline and not the update. They got inaccurate information and it won’t be corrected, and the NYT is to blame.

        “Cancels” is the wrong verb again. ABC can cancel it, Trump can only decide not to show. ABC and Kamala can go ahead and have a debate with the audience or even put a cardboard cut out in his place and play random quotes he’s made and let Kamala disagree with them. ABC would get views and advertising revenue.

        The right neutral verb phrase there is “backs out of”. The one I would pick is “shirks” or “fears”

    Trump when Biden is running: “Any time, any place”

    Trump when Harris is running: “One specific time, one specific place”

    Harris is going to wipe the floor with this guy.

      Only if the venue rules are fairly done.

      That is not what Fox’s history shows Fox doing as a news an entertainment channel. They will put any BS up to garner attention. For example, DEI hire.

      If Fox applied the same benchmarks on Trump’s past ‘accomplishments’ and Trump isn’t fit for employment, period.
