At a rally in Green Bay, Wisconsin, on Tuesday, the former president said he would debate his successor anytime, anywhere, anyplace. He had an empty lectern near him on the stage with those three words on it.
Trump said hell debate anytime, anywhere, anyplace, Fallon said on The Tonight Show Wednesday. Biden was like, Tell me youre unemployed without telling me youre unemployed.
At first, his campaign staff was laughing, but after Trump debated the podium for 30 minutes, they were like, Oh boy, it might be time for another cognitive test, the late night host went on. Meanwhile, Trumps so broke he sold the podium for $5,000.
A Biden campaign spokesperson on Tuesday night called Trumps setup a weak merch play from a guy desperate to avoid talking about how hes got no cash, no campaign infrastructure, and no answer for how his chaotic, divisive and violent campaign is going to win this November.
