US President Donald Trump earlier signaled that he will not formally prepare for his 3 debates against Democratic nominee Joe Biden. A new report has suggested he will wing each session on a bet the former vice president will trip himself with gaffes and forgetfulness. The 74-year-old President Trump for months has tried casting the 77-year-old Biden as too old and mentally slow as he approaches 80 to be the so-called leader of the free world. He has tried sowing seeds of doubt into the minds of remaining undecided voters and key blocs he is trying to win back.

The president himself made the decision to skip a 2016-like debate preparation session when former New Jersey Governor Christie played the role of former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Christie had reportedly been tapped to play the role of Biden, but it appears that will not happen. President Trump informed aides and said, “A presidential debate isn’t something you have to practice”. He is set to go face-to-face with Biden in a few weeks and Trump needs to wing it. He signaled just that during a wild 47-minute phone interview with Fox & Friends. One of the hosts asked how he plans to prepare for the 3 debates. Trump said he is too busy getting back on the campaign trail to spend hours practicing canned spiels about policy proposals and witty attack lines for his opponent.

President Trump said, “Well, I sort of prepare every day by just doing what I’m doing. I was in California yesterday (Monday). I went to Arizona, which is doing great, by the way, the state is doing, is booming. And done a really good job with the virus too, you know down to, it’s down to, it’s very low”. He said his ally Greg Abbott is an excellent governor. President mentioned campaign tours as the perfect kind of debate prep. He informed Fox News and slammed Biden’s lighter schedule. He said, “And I watch this guy (Biden) sitting home and I say, maybe I’m doing it wrong, you know what maybe I’m doing it wrong”. Trump said that he can’t prepare for the debates because Biden performed unevenly in the Democratic primary debates.
