Michael Avenatti said that President Trump does not want to debate him because Trump is not “intelligent” enough, The Hill reports.
Said Avenatti: “He’s a bully and I think he doesn’t like people that punch back, and I think I would be incredibly effective against him. I don’t think he’s very quick on his feet, I don’t think he’s that intelligent and I think he’d be completely outclassed.”
