Trump will not now participate in any debate or interview that might involve fact checking. Trump shares this annoyance at fact checking will every old fart whose inebriated pontificating is interrupted by a correction based on fact. Trump’s distress at fact checking goes far back. I recall that during the 2016 campaign his mouthpieces were claiming that fact checking is inherently aggressive and hostile. 

Now he’s claiming that VP Harris’ 60 Minute interview was the result of massive cutting and splicing and alteration to make Harris seem more lucid and presidential. But, of course, Trump can only be made to appear at all lucid and presidential when he is limited to sound bites uninterrupted by any truth.

I think that in Trump’s case the policy must be to replace intolerant and aggressive fact checkings with guaranteed “lie tolerant” settings of the Fox News variety.
