Republicans hoping to see Donald Trump debate Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy or possibly Ron DeSantis in a GOP primary debate are going to be disappointed by this development: The former president is suggesting he might not participate.

On Tuesday, Trump posted on his Truth Social network to say that while “everybody is talking about the Republican Debates” ahead of the 2024 presidential election, nobody got his approval, “or the approval of the Trump Campaign, before announcing them.”

Trump apparently doesn’t see any reason to debate primary opponents when “you’re leading by seemingly insurmountable numbers,” especially when “you have hostile Networks with angry, TRUMP ... hating anchors asking the ‘questions.’”

He wondered, “Why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?”

Donald Trump appears to offer reasons for potentially skipping GOP primary debates ahead of the 2024 presidential election.

But while Trump hinted that those are the reasons he may not participate in the primary debates, Twitter users couldn’t help but speculate that there were other, perhaps more likely, explanations.

He wondered, “Why subject yourself to being libeled and abused?”

He should come and bring Yeye Wole Soyinka because he's looking for whom to debate with him.

Lol. He is right

Trump is not an unknown quality anymore. As past president, he has a record to defend. He knows he cant thats why he is using excuses to back off.
