I had been leaning toward ‘Trump will make an excuse and won’t show’ but now agree with many that one week out, Trump runs the risk of looking like a Cowardly Loser no matter what excuse he offers. (Likely the ‘Biden is drugged and CNN has refused to make drug testing a requirement’ one.) Assuming he shows: I’ve looked over the rules carefully. **There is no rule that would keep Trump at his podium.** He is perfectly free to walk over to Biden’s podium when that’s the one with a live mic, and just talk and talk and talk. And that is what he will do. And Jake Tapper and Dana Bash will say _“PLEASE Mr. President, remain at your own podium”_ and Trump will say “_You won’t let me talk and the American People have a right to hear what I have to say, so I’ll do what I have to do_” and that will be that. And the right will fall all over themselves with admiration for his Strength. Count on it. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/trump-will-not-debate-biden-on-june-27-2024-or-thereafter-either/1002493)._
