Bobby’s numbers are definitely high enough to participate in debates. wtf is he talking about.
Just pretending like he’s not feeling threatened in the least
Makes me want to vote for rfk even more
Trump, Biden and RFK Jr on the same stage. That's a Billion views and an actual money printing event for whoever hosts it. Also just tossing this out there, America deserves these debates. The people have been deprived enough.
Biden and trump wont debate if rfk is there they know they will lose
Bingo.
When you take out whats fair or any emotion people might have for their pick it comes down to Views and Ratings- theyre missing out on Millions of Views by excluding RFK. (And I plan on voting Trump)
I just wanna see and hear what each of the 3 have to say on a stage together
"RFK, I don't know anything about him." Proceeds to talk about his pole numbers, and campaign impact for 30 seconds.
Used to talk about how great he was and intelligent he was and how he tried to hire him but was talked out of it.
*poll
RFK is the first person that I have seen to affect Trump's swagger.
What is interesting is Trump with good friends with his cousin before he died. At some point it appears he figured out what the Democrat Mafia was about and then he switched sides.
Not hardly .
Bigly. Both sides are scared shitless of RFKJ.
RFKJ is a joke
Lol my comment was censored
Wow. Trump is actually afraid to debate him
No, he doesn't want to waste his time debating someone who is levels down from him. It's like a CEO of a company debating a janitor over who is right about their cleaning policy, just a waste of time since you know they aren't in a position to make you change your mind. Maybe you could have some more critical-thinking before you post anything else.. like ever?
@@greg9658 That's what Trump what's us to think but it's not true. The truth is that Trump doesn't have it in him to have a true intellectual debate.
Either way there needs to be debates as there always has been and Trump/Biden need to participate. Trump isn't running just to win, he's also running to tell us why he should have a second term. Many people aren't 100% convinced that would be our best option. My point is that Trump ain't owed shit, so debate.
@@greg9658like he did in primary he is scared
@@greg9658you think RFK is on the level of a janitor compared to Trump? You only have to know a little about his family history
@@greg9658 critical thinking isn't Trumps strong suit or even Biden so consider that before posting comment like this. 😂
RFK ALL THE WAYY!!!!!!!!
Yaaaas!
"I don't know anything about him"... Is he admitting his rant about RFK on Truth social was actually all false statements?
Wow trump lying must be a first
Ironically he didn't know anything about any of his campaign promises last time, either.
doesnt know anything about him, but worked with him on trying to have a vaccine board before Fauci killed it, and his team approached RFK about being a potential VP lol.
Exactly! Those posts about RFK Jr were lies and garbage.
Trump literally takes talks RFK Jr did back in the 90s (you know 30yrs ago), and acts like they are representative of what he does or thinks today as well. Unlike Trump, RFK Jr learns and continues to do better.
Trump is an opportunist, pathological liar. Watch what he does, don't listen to what he says.
The Donald speaks but says nothing.
Thank you. thst is exactly what I hear, nothing when I listen to Trump speak. It makes me feel stupid.
@@tonyamcbryar7433 he’s nothing but your average New York guy with a lot of money and with that comes average intelligence
RFK Jr 2024!! Trump is way to scared to debate RFK, he would be demolished. All he has is slogans, Bobby have a brilliant understanding of all the issues facing the country,
Amen!
If you don’t have the statistically accurate pole numbers then you haven’t earned the public trust! Poles are about common men/ women trust! So no need for Trump to waste his time per the people who speak through the statistical poles! Get real!
Agreed! Biden is the spoiler. He should drop out. Head to head, Kennedy will win over Trump in a landslide
Yep, Trump never gives details. He can’t explain how or why he’s going to do something or how and why it will make positive changes. RFK Jr goes into the details of a policy all the time.
@@sookibeulah9331 Anyone who listens to RFK for even a few minutes, knows his experience and intellect is FAR above Trump and Biden. NO CONTEST!!!
We can have a president that represents a party, or we can have a president that represents a nation. RFK
Think the people are tired of voting out of fear....time to vote for something and someone else. RFK.
If Trump got removed from the ballot I would vote for RFK.
The issue is, Biden needs to get out but the majority of voters are still torn down the middle between red and blue, votes for RFK would just take away from the chance of getting Biden out.
The only way I can see RFK Jr. Winning is if Trump gets removed from ballots but I hope he doesn't.
America really needs to get on board with more than two major parties. It's ridiculous that we only have to real choices. I say real because the chance of electors choosing someone not Republican or Democrat is bananas, and even though rfk is a Democrat I don't think he is running on the ballot as one, I could be wrong hell idk.
Y’all are a bunch of flip-flop errs look at who you put in office the last election. Yet saying RFK that’s the problem instead of humbling yourself, you guys are going to vote in the Uni-party forever. Say bye bye to our independent voters (The most Important voters to the system). I’m gonna stick to people that don’t sway from side to side and stand for the Republic. MAGA 2024

haha, trump is obviously scared of RFK
He kept saying RFK has very low numbers. Obvious lie.
@@PS-qn4oz then why did he go on that pathetic social media rant against him. A little while back, he said he liked Kennedy more than Joe. Now he’s saying he would rather have Joe. Where is the consistency? If he truly wasn’t afraid, then he should take the debate head on
@@turtledog5050 Sorry to be confusing. I meant Trump is telling an obvious lie when he says that RFK has very low numbers.
Sure he knows nothing about him!Trump only had his team go ask RFK Jr. to be his running mate!
Facts.
@@DurdensVision I totally agree! RFK Jr. will outshine both Trump and Biden in any debate based on truth, knowledge and facts!
Come on Trump debate a real candidate!
Find a real threat and Trump will take him on but alas there is none worthy .😮
@@thomaslanham3863This is going to crescendo to a debate. RFK is a factor, and it's going to be very clear once we're late in the election season.
Lot of debate talks coming from a guy who skipped them all
@@thomaslanham3863 Worthy of a used car lot posting bail. I would advise Trump to keep ducking RFK, Jr. He will DISMANTLE him in a debate.
@@doresearchstopwhining Bah Haaaaa Haaa Haaa. So friggin' true.
RFK Jr is the solution
But too many people have not a clue what is going on. I have never endorsed a candidate for president like this in my life. This is an emergency. America is captured. He knows it.
Why is everyone afraid to debate RFK ? From politicians to scientists, nobody wants to debate that guyy
Have you listened to him in long form interviews? Nobody wants to come up against that. He's a walking encyclopedia, and is also very on top of the current issues concerning our country. He can diagnose our issues on a granular level. The other 2 just can't do that. RFK Jr 2024!
@@j.a.c.3776I think the OP is asking rhetorically.
He's an Ivy league attorney that got money out of Monsanto. Billions out of them. If you can do that you can probably debate anyone.
The only Pro Debater is RFK. Any other Political candidates or Lawyers, doctors, Scientists, Ivy Leagues Yale, Princeton Schools professionals Debate Clubs would be obliterated shamefully if they attempted to go against RFK, much less Trump, better Trump stay home and pray. It would be a SLAM DUNK for RFK.
Watching trump nervously twist at the end to the RFK question made me really laugh 🤣🤣🤣
You and only you
@@tynao2029I laughed too, though not as much as a laughter at him saying he knows nothing about a man he tweeted (or X-ed?) only a few days ago 🤭😆
Kennedy 2024!!!
He actually sounded scared when asked if he would debate Kennedy 😂😂😂
As he should be. He's used to being the bully, but that shit won't fly against RFK Jr.
@@j.a.c.3776 That debate would be so freaking good man. RFK wouldn't take Trump's bullsh*t and they'd be forced to have a real debate. I wish it would happen so very badly
Obviously he is scared to debate him. IQ for trump=about 100 and IQ for Kennedy 130+...one is a truthful candidate and the other is constantly lying. I know why he wont debate RFK!
RFK would wipe the floor with both of them, remember Trump was also too chicken to debate in the primaries and Biden was literally pushed the other challengers out similar to Bernie and Clinton in 2016.
"I don't know anything about him." Asked him to be your VP, got rejected. Pathetic and afraid. Couldn't fire Faucci, couldn't beat a memory care patient in 2020; all he does is complain and talk shit.
hehe clearly a political answer
Truth
He's the world's most accomplished and talented shit talker....24/7...Trump can't switch it off.
He made the warp speed on vax. Even called himself father of vaccine
RFK Jr 2024!
🎉 RFK Is The Way! 🎉
Don the Con strikes again. We are not stupid, Trump. RFK Jr 2024 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
"RFk? I dont know anything about him", then goes on telling us about him. 😅😅😅
Trump wouldn't even debate other Republicans LOL
What Bobby has literally gone up for many years, corp corruption, has my vote!
He's a coward! like we thought
RFK has no chance and is a waste of time, the cowards and losers are the Biden voters
How is that cowardise? Don't get me wrong, I would like to see a debate between all three candidates, however even Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has said himself that he is losing with both candidates running against him. So Trump does have a point. Technically, he doesn't need to debate Robert F. Kennedy.
If anyone is a coward,it's Biden.RFK JR Wanted to debate Biden.Trump wants to debate Biden.
He's not a coward just not rfkjr..best candidate in a lifetime!
@@HELLYEAH1313he is coward he knows he will lose in the debate like he did in primary
lets go bobby. 2024
It wouldn’t even be a debate he would just respond with insults
Trump comes up with these wacky reasons and excuses, he’s just afraid. RFK Jr. is the best candidate for the US. Trump in office won’t change much for an average hard working American. RFK on the other hand actually cares about Americans, not money.
RFK is the only candidate that could out debate Trump with grace and pragmatism. Everyone wants to see this. Give the only adult in the room a chance to speak!
❤Both Trump and Biden are scared of Bobby Kennedy ❤🇺🇸❤️😂😂 RFK Jr is not a serious candidate? 😂😂 Let me tell you how serious of a candidate he is. Last election we were all divided.

RFK ALL THE WAY 🇺🇲
proceeds to start with "idk anything about him" except he is hurting you. seems like youre dodging a debate sir
He's been posting nonstop about RFK Jr on Truth Social for weeks. Never realized Trump was such a keyboard warrior! 😂
@@standupguy12 So glad I don't use that platform. Jeez. The man is so obviously threatened by him.
The man is exhausted his brain is probably tired. He's also in his 70s
And just like that, after 8 years of full sit, trump just lost my vote
Because he thinks his supporters are idiots, so he lies right to their faces?
In the next three months, as all of the states gain ballot access for RFK jr, people will start to finally realize that he isn't just the smartest, healthiest and most coherent candidate -- he has a real chance to win.
That’s what healthy sounds like?
"Healthy" is someone who articulates, demonstrates and proves the points they are challenging. The tone of their voice and manner of their speech is irrelevant! In the case of RFK Jr, if voters can't get passed this, they are missing out irreparable.

Just admit you're AFRAID to debate RFK Jr.
Smh
so embarrassing was thinking the same thing
Trump is not embarrassed to debate rfk Trump would win the debate in every way against RFK God bless Donald Trump
Not afraid. It's just ridiculous to debate RFK if Biden isn't even there. Obviously, Trump would go after Biden and compare his record to Biden's. RFK is just an add-on to the debate. If Biden doesn't show up for the debate, there is no debate. It's just a F#######ng waste of time.
In the next three months, as all of the states gain ballot access for RFK jr, people will start to finally realize that he isn't just the smartest, healthiest and most coherent candidate -- he has a real chance to win...
Sorry but I’m locked in with RFK Jr 2024, he’s the only candidate who is addressing real problems america is facing rather than this clown show between the 2 uni party puppets.

Its magas time

And he talks to aliens.
Trump 2024 for me, RFK is way too moderate on abortion
begs to debate biden😮……doesnt know rfk jr after bashing him on social media for past two days 😂
OMG. This is perfect! LOLOLOL.
I'm voting for RFK !!!
Media acknowledges first successful third party candidate, polling higher than Ross Perot who is regarded previously as "the only serious third party candidate", then Trump denies his polling numbers. lol
He still won’t get any electoral votes
A third party candidate who has five distinct advantages over Ross Perot:
1) he’s running against two hugely unpopular (outside of their devoted base) Presidents
2) he’s running at a time when more voters are registered Independent than either R or D and many voters see both parties as being controlled by corporate donors
3) he can communicate directly with voters through social media and long-form interviews.
4) has an understanding of the political system because of who his father was and because he’s successfully sued several government agencies and had to know their workings to win.
5) if debates happen and Biden & Trump can be forced to have RFK Jr join them his knowledge and speaking skills as a trail attorney will show his opponents to be less than half the man he is.
@@sookibeulah9331 All true. I can not wait for the debates
@@sookibeulah9331 Excellent, thank you.
RFK....? I Don't know anything about him. LOL 🤣🤣🤣
I can't with this. I almost laugh to death on this. Show you Trump is afraid to debate RFK Jr. because he knows he would be destroyed. Polling low he said about RFK Jr. RFK Jr. already broke the record for 3rd party support. Do you not think once he has access to the other state ballots that his polling would remain 13 percents? HA this was to funny.
He wouldn’t be destroyed as bad as RFK’s voice
@RajHK8 in his dreams RFK jr. Is a professional debate speaker. Not only was he trained by his father since his youth but being in the justice system he had debate many serious cases as well as won them. Trump maybe a professional business man but his experience compare to RFK jr. Is not even close.
@@pressngorfk is a harvard graduate
"RFK is polling very low"
Acording to what Metric?
Now, that would be an interesting debate
RFK should be the Dem Nominee. Why, why do they put up the loser?
Because they would rather risk losing to Trump than to let RFK take over. He is the biggest threat to the establishment
Because he's not part of the oligarchy
@@jasonsworld333 Bye done is *_owned_* by the oligarchy.
They want control. They can't control RFK Jr
Because they are losers
He is scared?! I want to see this debate.
👍 Thanks Trump, I’ll be increasing my donation to the RFK Jr campaign after the (very predictable) lying and deflection on this topic.
Good, help elect Trump by supporting RFK to split Blden👏
@@tynao2029 That's not how self-respecting people think. We vote for who we BELIEVE in. Is that so foreign to you?
He's not credible if he doesn't get his numbers to a certain point?😂 scared
That's a lot of excuses by a guy that doesn't want to debate him. RFKJR doesn't have low numbers - In a head-to-head race RFKJR beats Trump. In a head-head race RFKJR beats Biden.
Look at the poll - The most comprehensive so far on these exact scenarios. RFKJR beats Trump easily and Biden by Landslide.
In 3 man race Trump only gets in by voters who hate Biden more and Biden only gets in by voters that hate Trump more
Each is a win by voters picking the lesser of two evils out of fear of giving it to the guy they like the least out of Biden and Trump.
- RFKJR will be POTUS if the ppl vote for who they actually want to vote for, period.
That's why Biden and Trump push their own version of the spoiler narative - Biden says "Beware Trump", Trump says "Beware Biden".
NEITHER is true.
The true statement is "RFKJR is more popular than either because the ppl have seen both of them fail, they are sick of the two major parties and they believe RFKJR can get their country back"
It's simple so don't let them Gaslight you. You are right, they are telling you you are wrong.
The CHOICE is is very simple in the end and entirely with the people:
Vote from Fear and settle for less or Vote from Courage and get the guy you want
USA wasn't built by people who acted out of fear and settled for less. We've learned in recent decades, the great USA isn't a given.
We've let fear drive our decisions and settled for less for a long time
And we've seen what that does
So:
Beware fear, find courage in the knowlege that the numbers put RFKRJR in the Whitehouse and act from the natural and unstoppable drive inside you that wants a better life for yourself and your family"
And the only way right now is to take your country back from the forces that control it and make it ill - The same forces that control the DNC and the RNC and tell you that you have to settle for the one you like the least
AND THEN JUST VOTE FOR THE CANDIDATE YOU WANT AS POTUS!
They tried to make it complicated but now you know
AND after this there probably wont be another chance
Kennedy 2024!!!

Trumps knows that. Thats why he is making excuses
The fact the Trump marginalizes RFK Jr. and won't debate should tell us all something. In a sense, it's understandable. When it comes to knowledge and the ability to articulate a salient plan of action, no other candidate can compare to RFK Jr..

His whole statement was a bunch of mumbo jumbo to distract from his first sentence, which was really stupid
“RFK I don’t know anything about him”
"I dont know anything about him"........ He literally asked (through intermedieries) RFK to be his vice president pick!!!
Trump doesn’t know anything about Kennedy, but in 2017 he asked Kennedy to chair a new commission on vaccines.
He is a LAIR and SCARED.
He's got the numbers, he is a serious candidate, you do know a lot about him, and he is a factor. These are the takeaways from this answer.

Hopefully fresh and younger person will take over the Whitehouse like ..native Americans…that should run their own country….

Trump's knee-jerk, negative reaction to the idea of debating ROBERT KENNEDY JR. is very interesting. I would have expected a bit more finesse.
I never thought I’d see Trump scared to debate.

He should debate RFK at the Libertarian convention. If Kennedy also accepts a speaking invitation there they could each speak for 10 minutes then just answer questions from Libertarians. Neither is very libertarian thus the questions should be interesting. Hardest piece will be keeping the Libs questions under an hour each;~)!

Mistake .. he’ll only debate when he’s a factor 😎 RFK is already a factor. He’s the only candidate who’s actually got a policy for America. Someone should tell Donald that confidence is the feeling you have BEFORE you understand the problem. (Nicely Nicely Johnson, in Guys and Dolls) 🙃
His answer was essentially "Who?"
So in other words…. No I don’t want to debate him
His numbers are not that low and that’s really a chicken shit answer
