For Thursday President Likely Scared of Virtual Reality has tweeted 5 times and retweeted 0 times so far.
7:47 a.m. D.C., time.
1. In which he announces his intent to phone-in not his Fox & Friend’s but Fox Business show host Maria Bartiromo.
It went as we thought it would go. He’s Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs.
Highlights.
Shortly before he phoned his friend The Commission on President Debates announced that the second Presidential Debate between Patient Most Likely Zero and Biden would take place virtually.
The second presidential debate will take the form of a town meeting, in which the candidates would participate from separate remote locations. The town meeting participants and the moderator, Steve Scully, Senior Executive Producer & Political Editor, C-SPAN Networks, will be located at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County in Miami, Florida. The White House Pool will provide coverage of the second presidential debate.
debates.org. 10/08/2020.
Highlights from his phone-in campaign interview.
In the first clip he says a virtual debate is not acceptable to “us,” adding when asked by She Thinks Her Lips are Hot to confirm he wasn’t doing the second debate now that it’s virtual, he said, “I’m not going to waste my time on a virtual debate.”

I believe in this next clip he is bashing Biden’s townhall with NBC News explaining that for months Biden was for “fracking,” but during that event on NBC News he wasn’t “fracking.”
"He was raising his very thin hand, and he was fracking" — what the hell is Trump talking about? pic.twitter.com/cGguiXi7Ne

In this clip he said he doesn’t believe he’s contagious with the coronavirus adding that “remember this, when you catch it you get better, and then you’re immune.”
"Remember this: when you catch it you get better, and then you're immune" — this is a lie. There are already documented cases of people getting coronavirus twice. pic.twitter.com/auXWPN5F90

Doctors do believe that a recovered coronavirus patient is immune, the length of that immunity is up for debate. Two-months ago, Dr. Anthony Fauci explained that it might take at least a year to “determine the durability,” of that immunity.
In this clip he says he’s the “perfect physical specimen.” [Aaron Rupar with Vox, has the word “physician” that is incorrect.]

In this clip he seems to be implying that he was infected with the coroanvirus during a meeting with Gold Star families.
"I met with Gold Star families. I didn't want to cancel that … I can't say, 'back up' … they wanna hug me and they wanna kiss me, and they do" — Trump on now suggesting Gold Start families gave him coronavirus pic.twitter.com/7F2dBzRFgi

On Durham’s investigation into the spying on the Trump campaign that wasn’t he says that if AG Dumb Barr doesn’t indict “these people,” for the spying that simply wasn’t, “we” will get little satisfaction.
"Unless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes — the greatest political crime in history of our country — then we'll get little satisfaction … and that includes Obama and that includes Biden" — Trump calls for Obama and Biden to be charged with crimes pic.twitter.com/g4hVYx98ZJ

In this clip he says that they have U.S. Marshal’s watching both Nevada’s Governor and New Mexico’s Governor, along with U.S Attorney’s to prevent either from cheating in the 2020 Presidential Election.
"We have law enforcement watching him very strong. The US Attorney is watching [the gov of Nevada], very strongly. The US Marshal is watching. In New Mexico, a state I think we can win, we have the US Marshal and the US Attorney watching him"- Trump on his concerns w/mail ballots pic.twitter.com/Th3alRptA0

He brags in this clip that he’s killed terrorist that were “bigger names than Osama bin Laden.”

In these next two clips, he’s angry Hillary Clinton has not been indicted.

I’m not finding this clip, but I’m sure it exists.
End highlights.
8:08 a.m. D.C., time.
2. #ChickenTrump shares a propaganda video that is two minutes and nine seconds long in which he talks about military spending and how the Army got new uniforms with a belt “everybody wanted the belt.” He then talks about the VA and how because of him, there is now accountability.
11:43 a.m. D.C., time.
3. The campaign rally tweet in which he tells us that Biden will “Shutdown the Economy at the tip of a hat,” << [what?]. Biden will “knock out your Second Amendment,” while he defunds, “or close, your Police.” And those “Suburbs,” are next, we should “get ready.”
But remember he lied to the American public about the dangers of the coronavirus because he didn’t want to cause “panic.”
12:03 p.m. D.C., time.
4. He tells us without irony that if a “Republican LIED,” like “Biden and Harris do,” which is in his words “constantly,” the Media would call out those Republicans…
This is where shit with holding Biden and Harris accountable for the misleading statements, or lies, gets hard, because honestly, neither of them lie like President Doesn’t Take Responsibility Ever.
It doesn’t mean we don’t try, it just means President Bad Messenger is a bad messenger.
12:11 p.m. D.C., time.
5. Campaign rally tweet number 2.

Regarding the virtual debate Coronavirus Positive Trump Campaign Manager Bill Stepien says they are open to delaying the second debate until October 22nd, 2020. In a campaign statement he accuses the commission of attempting to shift away from VP Robot’s victory in last nights Vice Presidential Debate. When clearly the really win was the Fly.
In other news it’s being reported that the Feds say they “thwarted a militia plot to kidnap,” Governor of Michigan Gretchen Whitmer.
The alleged conspirators discussed paying $4,000 for explosives to blow up a bridge leading to the governor's home. They were prepared to pay for some equipment as recently as yesterday. https://t.co/0ylKk8Bpq8 pic.twitter.com/P3RtBzmnvT
