Pro-Trump veterans shared their ‘America First’ perspective with The Epoch Times.
GREEN BAY, Wis.—On the day of the Wisconsin primary, former President Donald J. Trump challenged President Joe Biden to a debate using a dramatic visual prop.
Soon after he began speaking, he gestured to an empty podium near where he stood.
“You know what that is? That’s for Joe Biden,” he said. “I’ll do it anywhere you want, Joe!”
Ahead of President Trump’s speech, media received a printout of a Truth Social post from President Trump in which he voiced his willingness to have the debates overseen by the “corrupt” Democratic National Committee or the Commission on Presidential Debates.
“Let’s go have a good, solid, friendly debate,” President Trump said on stage before asserting that America is “going to hell” under the Biden administration.
The Epoch Times has reached out to the Biden campaign for comment.
