Former President Donald Trump is expressing doubts about his participation in the scheduled debate next month, claiming media bias against him on networks like ABC. He has a history of controlling debate dynamics, aiming to dictate the rules to favor his performance. Michael Cohen, Trump's former attorney and current host of The Michael Cohen Show, explains that Trump's strategy mirrors past tactics dating back to 2015, emphasizing his desire for control. Cohen humorously suggests that if Trump does not attend, Vice President Kamala Harris might resort to using a cardboard cutout of him during the debate, highlighting the pressure Trump faces. Furthermore, Cohen predicts Trump's lack of preparation for the debate, reflecting on Trump's previous debate performances. The Trump campaign has raised concerns over mic control during the debates, prompting speculation that Trump fears losing composure, especially when faced with Harris's potential challenges. Meanwhile, the conversation touches on Trump's ongoing legal issues, including the classified documents case, as Cohen notes the importance of Trump's court appearances and the implications of his legal troubles in light of his political future. Overall, Cohen asserts that the upcoming debate could illuminate Trump's inability to handle Harris's scrutiny, challenging his claims of media bias and supremacy over the political narrative.
