US election: Trump refuses to take part in virtual TV debate.
He means he can't interrupt or talk for long beyond his time limit.

He is such a putz, a huge ugly boil on the ass of America.
In English we say "arse".
If the debate commission doesn't cave (and I doubt they will), tRump will.
He needs a change in the race a lot more than Biden does and tRump is running out of screen time chances to do it. A rally might be personally satisfying for him (maybe) but it won't have enough impact to change the election. He'll be locked in to lose or win (less likely) on the MAGA base and the electoral college rural slant.
Not being too conversant with the ins and outs of US politics, I can but hope you are right.
