Presumptive GOP nominee Donald Trump said Thursday that if he and Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) can raise $10 or $15 million for women’s health issues, they’ll debate one another.
Trump, speaking at a news conference in North Dakota after the Associated Press determined that he had enough delegates to be the Republican Party’s nominee, reiterated that he was open to debating with Sanders after saying he would the previous night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.”
But Trump said there would be conditions.
“If we can raise for maybe women’s health issues if we can raise $10 or $15 million dollars for charity—I think it would get very high ratings,” Trump said.
“I’d love to debate Bernie. He’s a dream,” Trump said, adding that they would have a “lot of fun” and that Sanders would lose.
Sanders’ campaign had responded to Trump’s challenge earlier, saying “game on.”
“We’ve had a couple of calls from the networks,” Trump continued, without naming which ones.
In the same press conference, Trump responded to President Barack Obama saying that foreign leaders are a right to be “rattled” by Trump’s candidacy. The real estate mogul seemed to take issue with the term, although he said that he “loved that word.”
“He used a bad word cuz he knows nothing about business,” Trump said. “When you rattle someone, that’s good.”
“It’s unusual that every time he has a press conference he’s talking about me,” Trump said of the President.
If Bernie’s smart he’ll say, “Sure, Planned Parenthood.”
Con Job from Don and Bernie is helping…
Ooooh yes! Thank dog at least Trump is above pandering.
I don’t know about The Donald, but how will The Bernie raise the money?
Did Trump say how much of his own money he’d chip in?
