'Wusses out of the rematch': Critics call Trump 'scared' after he nixes additional debates

It has been over 36 hours since the Tuesday night debate that even some Fox News personalities said Donald Trump lost. On Thursday he took to Truth Social, promising in an all-caps rant, "THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE."

His refusal to go head-to-head again prompted The Lincoln Project to respond on X, "Turns out 'anytime, anywhere' was more of just a concept, huh?" It was a referral to Trump's claim Tuesday that he had "concepts of a plan" for healthcare.

Steve Kayser, a Trump fan as indicated by his supportive posts on X, cheered the former president's "good" decision saying, "He has to stop the media from ganging up on him. They need to apologize to Trump for the ABCNews rigged debate."

MAGA fans allege rigging because the debate moderator Lindsey Davis is a sorority sister of Vice President Kamala Harris. The two belonged to the same sorority at different universities 15 years apart.

Lincoln Project co-founder and Republican political consultant Mike Madrid shared Trump's Truth Social post, saying, "Tell us you lost the debate without telling us you lost the debate."

University of Texas Law School professor, Lee Kavarsky agreed, posting on X, "The winner of the fight would also call for the rematch if winning didn't guarantee the belt (presidency), genius."

Republican Voters Against Trump alleged, "Donald Trump is scared to get back on the stage with Kamala Harris after what she did to him."

"Impotent Trump was too intimidated to even look in Kamala’s direction at the debate and now he wusses out of the rematch," wrote ex-Republican operative Tim Miller. "Cannot recall a more dramatic demonstration of beta weakness in a campaign setting. No wonder he needed Hulk Hogan to butch him up at convention."
