Trump Shocks Supports With Massive Announcement After a rumor-sparking delay, Donald Trump has finally agreed to three debates with Hillary Clinton. Reports indicate that he was only willing to commit after agreeing upon a series of conditions. This week, Trump announced that he will be negotiating the terms upon which the debates will take place. The first debate will be held on Sept. 26 in Hempstead, New York, followed by a debate in St. Louis on Oct. 9 and in Las Vegas on Oct. 19. I will absolutely do three debatesI want to debate very badly, Trump commented in an interview with Time magazine. But I have to see the conditions. One of those conditions is that the Republican candidate have a say on who the debates moderators are. This stems from the infamous incident between Trump and Megyn Kelly, which lead Trump to believe he was treated unfairly. Ill have to see who the moderators are, Trump said of the debates. Yeah, I would say that certain moderators would be unacceptable, absolutely. I want to have fair moderators. I will demand fair moderators. The Commission on Presidential Debates has maintained that the debate format is non-negotiable, but Trump believes he will have a say in that too. I renegotiated the debates in the primaries, remember? Trump argued. They were making a fortune on them and they had us in for three and a half hours and I said thats ridiculous. Im sure theyll be open to any suggestions I have, because I think theyll be very fair suggestions. Trump also commented that he believes that his performance in debates bodes well for him. According to the polls, I won all of them, he commented. So I look forward to the debates. What do you think of Trumps strategy? Do you appreciate his flair for negotiation or is he alienating himself?
