Trump says he will concede defeat if Democrats “don’t cheat in the election”

He claims that Kamala Harris refuses to participate in the Fox News debate, scheduled for early September

MADRID, 20 (EUROPA PRESS)

Former US President and Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump has said he will concede defeat in the upcoming November election as long as his rivals do not “cheat” and impose new rules and regulations “that they have no power to enforce.”

“I think if I lose, this country will go into an unprecedented spiral, like we’ve never seen before, like in 1929, but if I lose, and if it’s free and fair, of course I will accept the results,” he said in an interview with CBS.

“It means no cheating, no throwing out ballots, no imposing new rules and regulations,” Trump said, again suggesting that he had been a victim of voter fraud in 2020. “Things have been done over the last four years that will make this a free and fair election,” he said.

“If I see that we have had a fair and free election (…) You will never see anyone more honorable than me,” said the Republican candidate, who has once again not spared in disqualifications towards his opponent, the Vice President of the United States, Kamala Harris.

“Our country needs a very smart person, and I don’t think she is. I don’t consider that an insult, it’s a fact,” he said of Harris, referring to an alleged “history of insanity” to justify this type of diatribe. “I have to do whatever it takes to win,” he acknowledged.

On the other hand, he has assured that he will make public the reports and medical examinations he has undergone after the attempted murder he suffered a month ago to prove that he does not suffer from post-traumatic stress or other types of after-effects.

“Everything went well. One of the doctors said, ‘I’ve never seen anything like this before’. No, I have no problem with that. I would go one step further, I think that anyone who runs for president, whether they are 75, 65 or 45 years old, should take a cognitive test,” he suggested.

THERE WILL BE NO DEBATE ON FOX NEWS

On the other hand, the former president has expressed himself on his profile on Truth Social, his own social network, where he has regretted that “Comrade Kamala Harris” –a term with which he tries to link her to extreme left positions– has informed them that she will not participate in the Fox News presidential debate scheduled for early September.

Trump announced earlier this month that he had agreed with the aforementioned television network to hold a presidential debate on September 4 with Harris “with similar rules” to those of the previous face-to-face with the current president, Joe Biden, before his withdrawal from the electoral race and on a set with an audience.

However, according to Trump, Harris’ campaign has said she will not be attending the Fox debate. “I’m not surprised by this because I think she knows that at the best of times, it’s very difficult to defend her record of changing her mind on absolutely everything she’s ever believed,” he said.

Trump has thus taken the opportunity to attack Harris for changing her mind regarding ‘fiscal fracking’ in Pennsylvania and, above all, for having allowed during her term as vice president “millions of criminals and people from mental institutions and terrorists” to enter the United States “without any control or scrutiny.”

Following Harris’s refusal to attend the debate, the tycoon has announced that he will participate in a “tele-town hall meeting” for the Fox network from Pennsylvania and presented by journalist Sean Hannity, who is close to the ‘Trumpist’ ideology. “More details will be available soon,” former President Trump has added.
