President Trump has been discussing with his campaign advisers whether or not to participate in the general election debates in 2020, two people close to the situation told The New York Times.
According to the sources, Trump doesn’t trust the Commission on Presidential Debates, the nonprofit organization that puts on the debates. Specifically, Trump is apprehensive of who will be chosen by the organization to moderate the debates, the Times reports.
Trump’s campaign reportedly declined to comment on what their plan was for the debates at a state-of-the-race campaign briefing in Arlington, Va.

Unless Trump is removed from office — which is highly unlikely — the election next year will be a sham and a huge waste of time, money and effort. I’m at the point of not caring whether there are debates. In fact, I don’t know that I care there will be an election. And that’s sad.
