WATCH: With Debates Now Set, Pelosi Sneers: 'I Would Never Recommend Going on Stage With Donald Trump'

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a crippling mental disease, America. And for those ravaged by Stage 4 TDS, like former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, it's downright hideous to observe.

Then again, it's also entertaining.

Such was the case on Wednesday after the presidential campaigns of Joe Biden and Donald Trump announced in principle that they had finally agreed to two presidential debates. Both Biden's acceptance and Trump's quick response went down as one might expect, with the embattled president boastfully declaring "Make my day, pal" and Trump firing back:

Crooked Joe Biden is the worst debater I have ever faced—he can't put two sentences together. Crooked is also the worst president in the history of the United States, by far.

Not exactly Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, but the debates promise to be be pay-per-view worthy— if only for education purposes.

It's On: Biden Challenges Trump to Two Debates in Perhaps the Most Cringe Way Possible, Trump Accepts


As if the carnival atmosphere surrounding an agreement to the long anticipated and eagerly hoped for debates wasn't enough, Pelosi on Wednesday was asked to weigh in on the prospect of Biden and Trump finally hooking up on a debate stage.

The former House Speaker didn't disappoint— meaning Pelosi was her usually sniveling self as she sneered:

I myself would never recommend going on stage with Donald Trump, but the president has decided that's what he wants to do. The format he is suggesting is a good one.

"Good one," or not, Pelosi had an even better idea, in her disingenuous view.

I think you all should have separate town hall meetings with them— challenge them, press them about the future, and let the public make its decision.  

Of course Pelosi would prefer separate town halls— so would the White House and every Democrat on Capitol Hill. Reason being, they know damn well that those town halls would be hosted by the likes of CNN's Anderson Cooper and Jake Tapper, or any number of biased hosts on ABC, NBC, or CBS.

The faux-kind condescension never gets old with embittered Nancy Pelosi.

Agreement in Principle— But Is Trump Being Played?

Here's what we know about the agreement, so far:

President Biden and Donald J. Trump have agreed to two debates, one on June 27 on CNN and one on Sept. 10 on ABC News, the first onstage clashes between the former president and his successor in more than three years.

While some of the details were still being hammered out, the agreement to the two debates, reached in a series of social-media posts Wednesday morning, raises the likelihood of the earliest general-election debate in modern history.

Biden and his top aides want the debates to start much sooner than the dates proposed by the organization, the Commission on Presidential Debates, so voters can see the two candidates side by side well before early voting begins in September. They want the debate to occur inside a TV studio, with microphones that automatically cut off when a speaker’s time limit elapses.

And they want it to be just the two candidates and the moderator — without the raucous in-person audiences that Mr. Trump feeds on and without the participation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. or other independent or third-party candidates.

Trump also announced on his social media site Truth Social on Wednesday that he had agreed to a third debate on Fox News on Oct. 2. But Team Biden has agreed to two debates and not three, and Fox News did not meet the criteria the Biden camp proposed for debate hosts.  

It is my great honor to accept the CNN Debate against Crooked Joe Biden, the WORST PRESIDENT in the History of the United States and a true Threat to Democracy, on June 27th. Likewise, I accept the ABC News Debate against Crooked Joe on September 10th. Thank you, DJT!

If I'm Biden, why would I accept? 

Trump has already accepted the gigs on CNN and ABC, where Biden will no doubt be treated more than fairly, and Trump will be treated— well, we know how Trump will be treated because we know how he was treated in 2016 and 2020.

Toss in the tentative terms of the two agreed-upon debates, and I don't see how the whole thing doesn't heavily favor Biden, whose team appears to have gotten everything it wanted — or close.

I'll reserve judgment until both debates happen, assuming they do, but I also won't be surprised if after either or both or over, there's not a big fat "I told you so" right around the corner.
