As a seasoned political observer with a keen eye for the absurd, I find myself once again bewildered by the antics of our former president, Donald Trump. His latest decision to back out of a debate on ABC News and instead opt for one against Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News is nothing short of baffling. It’s as if he’s playing a game of chess with no board or pieces, just moving pawns haphazardly across the political landscape.
Donald Trump has decided not to attend the presidential debate that was originally planned for September 10th, as announced by ABC News.
Instead, the previous president announced via Truth Social at the crack of dawn on a Saturday that he has consented to discuss with Vice President Kamala Harris on Fox News on September 4th.
In his post, he stated that the debate originally planned with Sleepy Joe Biden on ABC was cancelled because Biden is no longer participating. He also mentioned that he has legal disputes ongoing with ABC Network and George Slopadopoulos, which could potentially create a conflict of interest for him.
He went on, detailing that the upcoming debate he’s participating in is set for Pennsylvania, with Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum serving as moderators.
“The guidelines for this event will mirror those of my previous debate with ‘Sleepy Joe’. He’s been unfairly treated by his party, as you may recall from our June 27 debate which ultimately led to President Trump conceding and backing Vice President Biden as the Democratic nominee. However, there will be a live audience this time.”
As a fan, I retweeted a snapshot from Truth Social, originally posted by X (who used to be on Twitter). In response, Harris wrote, “It’s intriguing how ‘anytime, any place’ transforms into ‘one precise moment, one secure location.'” She continued, “I’ll show up on September 10th, just as he promised. I really look forward to seeing him there.”
It’s intriguing how the phrase “any time, any place” transforms into “a particular time, a secure location.”

Michael Tyler, her campaign’s communications director, also released a statement, as reported by ABC. The statement says: “Donald Trump is evading the debate he previously agreed to attend and seeking refuge at Fox News instead. He should cease his games and honor his commitment to the debate on September 10. Our Vice President will be present either way to address a prime-time national audience. We are open to discussing further debates following the one that both campaigns have already agreed upon. Mr. Anytime, anywhere, anyplace should not find this a problem unless he’s too frightened to appear on the 10th.”
Currently, it’s uncertain whether ABC will proceed with the debate. Yet, Trump has issued an ultimatum through another Truth Social post, saying, as reported by The New York Times, “I’ll meet her on September 4th, or I won’t meet her at all.”
A few days following Trump’s controversial remarks about Vice Presidential candidate Kamala Harris’ racial identity during the National Association of Black Journalists convention in Chicago, he altered the debate schedule and its terms.
During a recent Q&A session, he stated, “She has always been of Indian descent, and she was advocating for Indian culture.” He expressed confusion later, saying, “I didn’t realize she was African-American until quite some time ago when it became apparent. Now she wants to be identified as such. I’m unsure, is she Indian or African-American?”
He added, “I hold both equally, yet it’s clear she doesn’t, as she transitioned from being Indian to identifying as African-American. I believe there should be an investigation into this change.”
Harris’ campaign issued a statement after the ex-president’s comments, labeling his antagonism as merely a sample of the disorder and discord that their campaign thrives on and that Americans might experience again in a second term, if elected.
In a statement, Michael Tyler, Trump’s campaign communications director, noted that the aggression displayed by Donald Trump today mirrors the antagonism he has consistently demonstrated throughout his lifetime, during his presidency, and even during his presidential campaign. This persistent hostility, as Trump vies for power once more, is aimed at imposing his contentious 2025 plan on the American public.
As a citizen who witnessed the tumultuous four years of President Donald Trump’s term, I can attest to the divisive rhetoric and personal attacks he hurled at Black journalists, mirroring the pattern he set throughout his presidency. It is disheartening to see that while he failed to provide meaningful support for Black families during his tenure, he instead left our nation grappling with the aftermath of his policies. The deep-rooted divide he fostered has only widened the chasm between us, making it evident that he lacks the ability to unite America. It is my belief that his attempts to further divide us are unproductive and harmful for our society as a whole.
Tyler ended his statement by pointing out that Trump’s comments during the convention echo what people would perceive from him on the debate stage, which is in stark contrast to Vice President Harris’ vision of opportunities and freedom for all Americans. Essentially, Tyler suggested that Trump simply needs to stop with the games and attend the scheduled debate on September 10th.
