Well, the info I read said the mic will be cut off after speaking time is up, so I mean Trump could scream off-mic the entire time I guess.  No audience, no mic-ed ability to talk over Biden, and Trump actually agreeing to rules set by Biden?  Just seems like a more Trump-style thing for him to agree and then say "this is BS, I'm not letting Biden set the rules" and back out and get applauded by his fanbase for not letting crooked Joe screw him over.

As dumb as we think Biden is, he's the seasoned politician of the two so his demands aren't going to be the types of things Trump can just change.  If Trump agrees he won't be in control of his mic being on or not, and there won't be an audience and he can demand they change the rules and they let there be an audience, but he can't just conjure one up at the last second.

Again, it could happen but Trump backing out and saying "it was rigged against me" and people saying "Well played sir, that was a brilliant move, and you'd kick Biden's demented ass anyway" seems more on brand for Trump than actually doing it. 


EDIT - And let me add too that I'm surprised the Biden team is proposing this, seeing as Hobbs v Lake in AZ showed that a democrat can avoid a debate and not suffer an instant loss by arguing that they don't want to give their opponent a chance to bombard everyone with BS.  Is team Biden desperate because he's down in the polls or are they confident a debate will favor their side?  Time will tell...or not, if it doesn't happen.  Still, Biden and team could just say everyone knows what he and Trump are all about and a debate is pointless if they figure Biden will deliver on the GOP's 2020 promise to spend the debate drooling and proving his brain is mush.
