Former President Donald Trump said on Monday he was “not spending a lot of time” preparing for the upcoming presidential debate that is scheduled for next month against Vice President Kamala Harris.
“I’m not,” Trump said when asked by a reporter how he was preparing. “I’m not spending a lot of time on it, I think my whole life I’ve been preparing for a debate.”
The former president added, “You basically, you have to be real. You know, you can’t cram knowledge into your head, thirty years of knowledge in one week, so, you know, there’s a little debate prep but I’ve always done it more or less the same way and you have to know your subject and I think I know my subject, I think I know it better than anybody.”
Trump and Harris are scheduled to face off during a debate hosted by ABC on September 10, but Trump and his campaign have been casting doubt on whether the debate will take place amid a dispute over the rules.
