"You know, it's really been a shock to the country.  A lot of people got together, they kept him in the basement... The fake news media went along with it. And we have a man in there that shouldn’t be in there."

From this afternoon @CBSNews

CBS: Will you debate VP Harris?

Trump: "I don’t know who I'm going to debate.  So far, we haven’t determined who is going to be on that side.  But I think whoever it is, I’d like to debate.  Yeah, sure."

The statement by Trump constitutes public discourse as it engages with public issues, specifically the performance of a sitting president and the policies of the administration. The tone is highly critical and dismissive, aiming to discredit the current president's tenure.
