Pete Buttigieg: Tough Talk Is Trump’s Calling Card, and Now There’s This Extraordinary Show of Weakness
‘Donald Trump cannot conceive of a campaign that isn’t about the candidate’
EXCERPT:
BUTTIGIEG: "It's extraordinary. Tough talk is this guy’s calling card, and now there’s this extraordinary show of weakness. He agreed to — you know, he said anytime, anyplace. But more than that, he agreed to this specific debate on this specific network, on this specific date, and now he is pulling out. Of course, it shows that he’s afraid. It shows that he knows if the two of them are on a stage together, it’s not going to end well for him. So, you know, this is a campaign that really has struggled to be about anything but Donald Trump and Joe Biden. I think that’s the bigger pattern that you’re seeing here and part of why the Trump campaign is having such a hard time adapting.”
