President Donald Trump is making no promises.
John Fritze and Michael CollinsWASHINGTON – For the first time in more than three years, President Donald Trump will not be at the center of the nation's biggest political showdown.As 10 Democrats climb on stage Wednesday for the first presidential debate of the 2020 election, Trump will be half a world way, en route to the annual G-20 summit in Japan.
The first debate will feature candidates such as Sen. Cory Booker, who Trump has claimed "ran Newark, New Jersey, into the ground" as a former mayor of that city. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, who will also be on stage, has been blasted by Trump for claiming Native American heritage. The president has accused New York City Mayor and candidate Bill de Blasio of being responsible for high taxes and crime in New York.
“Everybody's talking about my doing twitter during the likely very boring debate tonight,” he wrote hours before the October 2015 debate got underway.
