  1. He’s gotta be in a full blown ego meltdown mode being called-out by a woman brandishing chicken emojis! This is perfection.

    Why did the chicken cross the road?

    He was trying to flee Kamala Harris. The woman who frightens him like nobody else in his entire life.

  3. Keep hammering home the too chicken to debate again message. It makes him look weak, especially to his male base. She has the cash, it would be nice to have a few dozen Freshmen show up at his events in chicken suits, cluck around Trump Tower..

  4. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://theguardian.com/us-news/2024/sep/22/harris-trump-second-debate-excuse-cnn) reduced by 79%. (I’m a bot)

    > Kamala Harris laid down another challenge to Republican rival Donald Trump to meet her for a second debate before November's presidential election, telling supporters in New York that her opponent "Seems to be looking for an excuse" to avoid a second confrontation.

    > The single scheduled debate between Trump and Harris, earlier this month, was widely viewed to have gone Harris's way and been a serious blow to Trump.

    > On Sunday, Harris returned to the key themes of the message Democrats wish to underline – a threat to democracy they perceive a second Trump terms represents and the knife-edge that polls suggest the race remains balanced upon.

    Except for controlled rallies, they’re going to keep Grandpa locked in the basement. They need to take away his twitter phone.

  6. He could not look at her during the debate, a sure sign of fear of weakness. The Harris campaign needs to amplify this fact.

    Love it. He’s a coward if he doesn’t show, she wins by default and gets to control the entire narrative. And if he does show it’ll be a repeat of the last one because he’s incapable of adaptation and now they know exactly which buttons to push plus all he’s done in the interim is get crazier.

  8. Why would he need an excuse if he won the last debate “bigly”??? 🤦‍♂️😎🤡🤡🤡🤡

  9. And he never will. He’ll look like a psycho again. There’s no reason for him to really do anything. I mean he says the same stupid shit all the time.

  10. She successfully shamed him into a debate the first time, maybe she can do it a second time. All she has to do is appeal to his ego.

  11. What actually seems to work (and what the media should be doing) is calling him the coward that he is.

    He’s running to lead the United States of America. Backing down to the challenge of a televised debate is the ultimate bad look.
