"The fact is that they're gaming the system. I think that maybe we should just have no moderator. Let Hillary and I sit there and just debate," Trump said in a phone interview on CNBC's "Squawk Box" Monday morning.

The Republican nominee pointed to critics who said NBC host Matt Lauer was too soft on Trump during a national security town hall last week and argued that the next moderator will try to be overly tough on Trump to avoid similar criticism.

"I can see it happening right now," Trump said. "The new person is going to try to be really hard on Trump just to show, you know, the establishment what he can do. So I think it's very unfair what they're doing."

Trump in fact argued that Lauer wasn't easy on him, but that Trump simply answered questions better than Hillary Clinton. "I thought he was very professional, I have to be honest. I think he's been treated very unfairly."

His comments come a week after Trump told reporters on his plane that he respected the chosen moderators. "I like them. I respect the moderators. Yeah, I do respect them."

The first debate is set to take place Monday, September 26 at Hofstra University.
