Trump has been complaining about Kelly, the Fox News host, ever since she challenged him at the GOP debate on August 6.
Kelly began a 10-day vacation after her Wednesday night broadcast. Fox says the vacation was planned well ahead of time. But some bloggers and commentators have circulated theories that Kelly was sidelined as a result of the Trump dispute.
In an interview with Newsmax TV on Friday, Trump indicated that he was inclined to believe the theories.
"There probably was" a connection, he said. "But I wouldn't know about it."
He added that "people were very very surprised that all of a sudden she decided to go away for 10 or 11 or 12 days."
Kelly talked on Wednesday's program about how she hasn't had a real vacation for six months. She'll be back on August 24.
Trump refuted a story published by CNNMoney earlier this week that said days of tension between his campaign and Fox News ended with a "very blunt" talk with Ailes.
At one point in the phone call, according to anonymous sources, Ailes said to Trump, we "can resolve this now, or we can go to war."
Malzberg asked Trump about the quote, and Trump said "that story was a false story."
"Roger knows that's not the way to talk to me, because if people talk to me that way, you know what happens," Trump said.
"That was not Roger," Trump added. "It's not the way he deals with me."
Along with saying Kelly's question to him was inappropriate, he said there was "hatred" in a question from another moderator, Chris Wallace.
Trump indicated that is partly why he spurned an interview request from Wallace and agreed to sit down this Sunday with Wallace's rival Sunday morning host, Chuck Todd of NBC.

Please tell me again why I should believe CNN?
Whoa...what a CRAZY overreaction to very tame response by Trump. When you’r getting flak you must be over the target. The donald is REALLY getting inside their heads.
This is old news, it was last week....
Ailes called Trump, they worked it out...move on...
Just more Trump bashing on MSM part, slow news day...
The proof of the pudding is going to be in Lady Megyn’s numbers going forward. I know that I won’t ever be watching anything from her again.
Yes this spin doesn't wash hold since Ailes was trying smooth things out.
Notice they don’t name the source. CNN wouldn’t be trying to make trouble would they? The left and MSM is panicking.
Won’t watch Kelly. Don’t like Wallace either. He’s hard on conservatives, easy on liberals.
Yeh Kelly just upped and went on vacay in the middle of the week. LOL!
My GYN defended Rosie, what does she think of her GF wanting to paint everyones face with Menstruation coming from wherever ?
That is the person who attacked Diamond Donald Trump first which led to him defending himself.
Rosie has been fired for her mental problems, and from what she recently said she still is bipolar.
I won’t be watching My GYN either. Catch her posted interview on the Stern show, she proved she is a SKANK.
F Chuck Todd is the next idiot up, he says he will keep asking Trump the same question over and over.
Hey, Diamond Donald just do what Tony Blair did in Parliment, say
My answer is as I stated to the gentleman just moments ago
The only time Fox has been on in this house since the debates was Trump’s interview with Hannity. Hannity has been fair to everyone, so far.
