Real-estate mogul Donald Trump called the coming Fox News-hosted Republican debate a "total disaster" and shared a Twitter user's post that called Fox News host Megyn Kelly a "bimbo" during a raging series of tweets hours before he was set to boycott the Thursday-night debate.
"The 'debate' tonight will be a total disaster — low ratings with advertisers and advertising rates dropping like a rock. I hate to see this," the Republican presidential front-runner wrote.
The real-estate tycoon had told Fox host Bill O'Reilly on Wednesday night that he hoped Fox did "well," even though he said the network would "make much less" money without him on stage.
Trump also continued his assault on Kelly, with whom he has feuded for months.
One tweet, which Trump promoted on his account Thursday morning, attacked Kelly for a GQ Magazine photo shoot and labeled her a "bimbo."
"And this is the bimbo that's asking presidential questions?" the tweet said. The user attached two photos from the shoot with text that read, "Criticizes Trump for objectifying women ... Poses like this in GQ Magazine."
The candidate shared the post a day after he had said he wouldn't refer to Kelly as a "bimbo," a term used to insult women, because doing so would "not be politically correct."
Trump drew some backlash last year when he twice promoted tweets calling Kelly a "bimbo." One of the times Trump retweeted the insult was after Kelly, a moderator at an August debate, confronted him about past comments he had made about women's looks.

“Trump is equal opportunity demean guy. He insults males and females. “
That’s what Melania said in the Barbara Walters interview. He insults everyone; the MSM points out specific groups to make him appear biased.
“Think what he would do in office, when a leader of another country criticized him. Tweet: he’s a very nasty man and his wife is a pig?”
Think of what the leader of another country would do when schedule for a meeting with Trump. They know he will walk if they try to play games. They won’t get $150B from us while we get nothing.
Close but not quite...an “unprincipled narcissist”, look it up. The admixture of narcissism and sociopathy.
“World leaders are getting a chuckle of this.””””.....”
By all means, let’s run our country based on what Andrea Merkel thinks!
All these other leaders have done such a fine job with their own countries, we should follow everything they say and think. /s
They’ve been talking about how unstable this guy is and what kind of idiot it takes to not see how unhinged the man-child has become because some lady won’t bow to him.
OK, I get it now. I was speculating as to your motivation, not pretending to know your actual thoughts.
People speculate about the motivations of others all the time, no?
I hoped that Cruz would also skipped the debate. I’m sick of the big achievers putting themselves in the lowly position under the media stars.
The D is letting them know that he is in control of any situation. TED CRUZ for pres.
Trump should really check his facts before posting crap like that...
A Saudi prince doesn’t really “co-own” Fox News, and Fox political commentator Megyn Kelly didn’t pose with him.
WHAT’S TRUE: A Saudi prince owns a minority share of Twenty-First Century Fox, the parent corporation of Fox News, via an investment firm.
WHAT’S FALSE: The photograph of Megyn Kelly posing is a fabrication, and the Saudi prince is not really a “co-owner” of Fox News.
If such minority institutional holdings qualify as “co-ownership,” then Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal would also have to be considered a “co-owner” of business entities such as Twitter and Citigroup.
First of all, the image used in that meme is a fake, as the unaltered original photograph of Kelly proves that her likeness was added to a scene at which she was not present:

yes. I tend to say things like..
I think
it seems
etc..
But yes it was a bit of wit on my part.
If my mother were Hillary I would not say anything!
What’s amazing is that Trump is accused of not having much of a ground game in Iowa. It sure is amazing that he can put on such a huge event in such a short period of time with no ground game.
Trump is a miracle maker!
Very good point. Donald is a ferocious "keyboard warrior".
Did you see Kelly’s GQ shoot? If one chooses to pose like that the argument can be made one is a bimbo.
You are a wit.
:)
She’s been a pretty tough conservative for years. Unlike Donald Trump who said Hillary would be a great president.
No, Ted is a superb debater, unlike her heinous - she who must be protected by CNN and the moderators.
Pretty interesting.
