Trump predicts there's a '10% chance' CNN will be fair to him at first presidential debate

Former President Trump expressed a glimmer of optimism that CNN "might" be fair to him at the first presidential debate, before specifying there's a "good 10% chance" of that happening.

Appearing on Thursday's installment of Logan Paul's "IMPAULSIVE" podcast, Trump was asked about the June 27 political showdown he agreed to participate in with President Biden, repeatedly insisting Biden and his campaign didn't actually want the debate to happen and were shocked when he agreed to it.

I think they’re gonna try to be fair. As fair as they can be."

"But I think that it’s important for there to be a debate. So [the Biden campaign] said, ‘You want to debate?’ 'Yep, I'll accept. You don't even have to tell me.' Then they said CNN, they said the different people that are involved, but let's see what happens. I used to get along with [debate moderator] Jake Tapper. We'll see what happens, but it doesn't matter. Whatever it is, it is," Trump continued.
