Trump will duck third GOP debate even after previous no-shows got him ‘Donald Duck’ nickname

Former President Donald Trump will skip the third Republican presidential debate in November, even after being nicknamed “Donald Duck” for ducking out on the previous two, The Post has confirmed.

Trump will again fail to appear on stage with his GOP rivals for the debate in Miami on Nov. 8, one day after several states hold their primaries, sources confirmed to The Post.

The decision comes after his rivals lambasted the 77-year-old at the second GOP debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, Calif. Wednesday night, with former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie calling Trump “Donald Duck” and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis called him out for “missing in action.”

DeSantis also challenged Trump to a one-on-one debate.

“You know what, maybe we can say since the former president didn’t come here, maybe he’d be willing to do one with you and I,” DeSantis told Fox News’ Sean Hannity after the second GOP primary debate Wednesday night.

But the former president has repeatedly said he will not appear at the debates, as he maintains a hefty lead over his rivals.

“These are folks that are nipping at the heels of the frontrunner, they’re nowhere close,” advisor Chris LaCivita said in an interview with CBS News following the debate Wednesday.

“As a matter of fact, if you took the combined polling weight of every single candidate on stage tonight and paired it up against Donald Trump, they’d be losing by 20 points,” he claimed.

“So I mean, these guys aren’t worth our time.”
