After publicly calming calls for another debate with the vice president, Trump flatly rejected the idea on Thursday.
“When a boxer loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are ‘I WANT A REMATCH.’ The polls clearly show that I won the debate against Comrade Kamala Harris, the Radical Left candidate of the Democrats, on Tuesday night, and she immediately called for a second debate,” Trump wrote.
“She and Crooked Joe have destroyed our country, with millions of criminals and mentally ill people pouring into the United States, completely unchecked and unresearched, and with inflation that has bankrupted our middle class,” he added.
The former president continued: “Everyone knows this and all the other problems caused by Kamala and Joe. It was discussed in great detail during the first debate with Joe and the second debate with Comrade Harris.”
“KAMALA SHOULD FOCUS ON WHAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE DURING THE LAST ALMOST FOUR YEARS. THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!” Trump concluded.
