Trump says he may be open to future primary debates after all

Former President Donald Trump suggested in an interview on Thursday that he may participate in future GOP primary debates, a change in tune from his past resistance to battling it out with his 2024 rivals onstage.

Trump snubbed the first Republican National Committee and Fox News-sponsored debate last week and instead released a prerecorded interview with ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

But on Thursday, Trump appeared open to attending a future debate. "Do you anticipate at some point jumping into the debates?" Trump was asked during the Todd Starnes' radio show.

"I might. I mean, you know, it's possible. I liked debating. I guess I won because of the debates," he said. "You know, they've been very good to me. So I might. But at this moment, I'm leading by so much that it seems to be foolish to do it."

Earlier this month, a source familiar with Trump’s thinking told NBC News that his decision announcing he wouldn't participate in the first debate applies to only the first two debates, allowing him a chance to attend other debates if he changed his mind.

Said it before, but the argument that politicized prosecutions interfered with his ability to participate in primary debates would have been a good one for him.  But he cut it off at the knees by saying he wouldn't debate.

Trump say no to free TV time?  That won't last long.

We all knew that when DJT's poll numbers began to sink he would be up for debating.  Let's just hope he doesn't make a mockery out of the debates as he did in '16.  This time around I believe people will be turned off by his juvenile behavior.

I hope this is just an idle threat. As he, himself, said...everybody knows who he is and his accomplishments and plans. He and Vivek on the same stage might just be too much for me.

Although I would like someone to ask him about Freedom Cities.
