Donald Trump took to social media late Friday night to announce that he agrees to debate Democrat presidential nominee Kamala Harris—but not on ABC, and not on the original date that he agreed to face off with Joe Biden, who has since been forced out of the race.

He wants to go head to head with “Crazy Kamala Harris” on September 4 on Fox News:
He reminded everyone that the coronation of Kamala Harris as the Democratic nominee despite receiving zero primary votes is the real “threat to Democracy”:
….As everyone knows, the Democrats have Unconstitutionally taken a Candidate, who was acknowledged to be defeated, and unceremoniously replaced him with a new Candidate. This has never been done before, and is a Threat to Democracy, but I am totally prepared to accept the results of this “coup,” and replace Joe on the Debate stage with Crazy Kamala Harris. I spent Hundreds of Millions of Dollars, Time, and Effort fighting Joe, and when I won the Debate, they threw a new Candidate into the ring. Not fair, but it is what it is! Nevertheless, different Candidate or not, their bad Policies are the same, and this will be strongly revealed at the September 4th Debate. I look forward to meeting and debating Kamala Harris on September 4th. This date is convenient and appropriate in that it is just prior to the September 6th start of Early Voting in the 2024 Presidential Election. I look forward to seeing everyone on September 4th, in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania!

The former president and current GOP nominee was not done, though, and followed up with another post saying that he would not agree to a debate with ABC since he is currently suing the network and host George Stephanopoulos for defamation regarding the charge that the former Clinton operative made that Trump “raped” writer E. Jean Carroll, even though a jury did not find that to be the case.

Trump said it would be a “conflict of interest” to have a debate moderated by “Slopadopoulos”:
He laid down terms, but I can’t imagine Team Harris will agree to all (if any) of them:
I have agreed with FoxNews to debate Kamala Harris on Wednesday, September 4th. The Debate was previously scheduled against Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC, but has been terminated in that Biden will no longer be a participant, and I am in litigation against ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, thereby creating a conflict of interest. The FoxNews Debate will be held in the Great Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, at a site in an area to be determined. The Moderators of the Debate will be Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum, and the Rules will be similar to the Rules of my Debate with Sleepy Joe, who has been treated horribly by his Party – BUT WITH A FULL ARENA AUDIENCE!….

I, for one, certainly hope a Kamala-Trump debate happens because I think he would expose her for the principle-free, appeal-to-whatever-audience-I’m-in-front-of-leftist that she is. As my wife says, if Harris agrees, it’s time to invest in popcorn futures.
