Expand Ok, here’s a counterfactual for you: Let’s say there are some loony lefties like Occupy Democrats or the Krassenstein Brothers and they have been making the claim that conservatives love to eat babies. It’s obviously false, there’s no evidence of it, but they are exploiting a niche on the internet that will buy into the claim and give them views and money. So then they put up money and say it’ll go to charity if Donald Trump comes on their show and beats them in a debate about whether or not conservatives eat babies. Should he do it? Of course not! It would give them what they want (attention and legitimacy) while having about a 0% chance of changing the minds of the audience (if you already believe conservatives eat babies, nothing Donald Trump could say would change your mind).

That is why he won't go on the show despite Joe offering the money, the statement he would have to defend is just as factually vapid as what he was attacking. I will repeat what I have said since since 2021 and thankfully have been vindicated, pushing healthy people under 40 to get the COVID vaccine is inappropriate and not beneficial. We know that under 40 and without at least two comorbidities means the chance of dying from COVID is basically zero and the vaccines don't last more than a few months. 1
