President Trump rejects changes to new rules of debate

Cartoon by Peter Brookes, political cartoonist for The Times. There is a suggestion that mics will be muted for future debates. However, Donald Trump is set to reject changes to the rules of the next two US presidential debates after the chaotic brawling spectacle in Cleveland this week. “Why would I allow the Debate Commission to change the rules for the second and third Debates when I easily won last time?” the president wrote in a tweet. “I won the debate big, based on a compilation of the polls etc. Thank you!”
