Trump was caught off guard by voter questions at the ABC News town hall

which could spell trouble for the presidential debates

Asked recently how he's preparing for the upcoming debates against Democratic nominee Joe Biden, President Donald Trump gave an answer reminiscent of a high-schooler caught off guard about an exam.

"I sort of prepare every day by just doing what I'm doing," Trump said on "Fox & Friends" on Tuesday.

Trump's performance at an ABC News town hall event later that night highlighted the "sort of" in that quote — especially with the first presidential debate being less than two weeks away on Sept. 29.

The president was unable to answer basic questions from undecided voters for large stretches of the evening.

He should have anticipated some tough questions. What a dumb fuck.

this man-baby is. That perceived annoyance of a waiter touching his mask while serving the POS several days earlier was still fresh in his mind as an insult to him. THAT's the only reason that answer came the fore. He still hadn't been able to shake the vision from his mind.

It's just like Chump deciding to run for the presidency because he hated Obama for teasing him at the Correspondent's Dinner. Little instances such as this stick with him forever, or at least until he feels he's exacted sufficient revenge.

Truly a child in every sense...

He thinks the average American voters hawks the stock market like the investor class does.
Those of us fortunate enough for pensions and 401(k)/403(b)s likely let them sit, and leave it to professionals.

Average, workaday folk care about not dying in the streets, their kids not dying in the streets, and their kids from not dying in the classrooms, either. from a virus he failed to contain.

delusional, and likely some kind of dementia.
