Potential Biden/Trump debate format.

No Audience.

Both seated at table with only one moderator.

The moderator announces only topics. No questions.
After the topic is announced, the moderator lets them question each other ONLY on this topic. One response and one rebuttal per topic ONLY.

There can be NO interruptions when the other is speaking. (This will be accomplished with microphones only being open for the person who is supposed to be speaking).

How do I know?

Trump’s own words:

"It is important, for the Good of our Country, that Joe Biden and I Debate Issues that are so vital to America, and the American People," Mr Trump posted on his social media website, Truth Social,…”

Trump lies. He won’t do it. He’s a coward and he’ll dream up an excuse that the format is “unfair and rigged.”

He only wants to scream, holler, lie and defame Biden or else he would see no benefit to an actual exchange of information. He could not handle it, and his handlers know it.
