In this May 20, 2016 photo, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump speaks at the National Rifle Association convention, in Louisville, Ky. Hillary Clinton has a message for Donald Trump: Bring it on. As Clinton's path to the Democratic nomination seems all-but-assured, friends, aides and supporters describe a candidate who is not only prepared to tune out Trump's increasingly direct attacks on her husband's personal indiscretions but believes they will eventually benefit her presidential aspirations.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump finally announced Friday that he won’t be debating Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.)

“Based on the fact that the Democratic nominating process is totally rigged and Crooked Hillary Clinton and Deborah Wasserman Schultz will not allow Bernie Sanders to win, and now that I am the presumptive Republican nominee, it seems inappropriate that I would debate the second place finisher. LIkewise the networks want to make a killing on these events and are not proving to be too generous to charitable causes, in this case women’s health issues,” Trump said in a released statement. “Therefore, as much as I want to debate Bernie Sanders–and it would be an easy pay day–I will wait to debate the first place finisher in the Democratic Party, probably Crooked Hillary Clinton, or whoever it may be.”

The drama had played out for several days with Trump suggesting Thursday that he’d only do the debate if a network paid millions to charity.

  1. Haha what a tiny-handed clown baby. Multiple outlets have offered his $10-15 million for charity, and he now retreats because reasons.

  2. OK, as much as I didn’t want this charade to happen, now Trump looks like a total chickenshit. Why even bring this stuff up if you’re not gonna follow through?

  3. Well, in case you missed it, it already happened anyway…

    Yes, it’s just as fucking hilarious as you’d want it to be. The guy who does Trump is brilliant and the dude doing Bernie has him down pretty good too, even his hand gestures that are sort of like tardive dyskinesia.

  4. Why does Donald hate women’s health?

  5. Lying Ted and Little Marco: Sir Trump is making sense again.
