TRUMP CAMPAIGN STATEMENT ON FOX NEWS DEBATE

(New York, NY) January 26th, 2016 - As someone who wrote one of the best-selling business books of all time, The Art of the Deal, who has built an incredible company, including some of the most valuable and iconic assets in the world, and as someone who has a personal net worth of many billions of dollars, Mr. Trump knows a bad deal when he sees one. FOX News is making tens of millions of dollars on debates, and setting ratings records (the highest in history), where as in previous years they were low-rated afterthoughts.

Unlike the very stupid, highly incompetent people running our country into the ground, Mr. Trump knows when to walk away. Roger Ailes and FOX News think they can toy with him, but Mr. Trump doesn’t play games. There have already been six debates, and according to all online debate polls including Drudge, Slate, Time Magazine, and many others, Mr. Trump has won all of them, in particular the last one. Whereas he has always been a job creator and not a debater, he nevertheless truly enjoys the debating process - and it has been very good for him, both in polls and popularity.

He will not be participating in the FOX News debate and will instead host an event in Iowa to raise money for the Veterans and Wounded Warriors, who have been treated so horribly by our all talk, no action politicians. Like running for office as an extremely successful person, this takes guts and it is the kind mentality our country needs in order to Make America Great Again.

More vetting?

Bullshit unless you are really stupid

This is not about vetting

It’s about the media destroying GOP candidates

Or in FOX NEWS case.....trying to influence the primaries

Vetting.....an hilarious notion my man

And u know better

Maybe if elected he should ask Jimmy Carter for a little of his courage.

Google up the Chalk River Plant nuclear accident and see what kind of courage that boy had.

-— A presidential debate is different. It’s not about Trump and the media and ratings. -—

That’s a good insight into his motivations. He sees this more as a game. He tends to reduce everything to that level. He has exhibited an indifference to moral reasoning.

-— Conservatives back the MSM against our candidate. NEVER. -—

What did the media do to poor Donald now? Seriously, does anyone know? Trump is more petulant than Obama.

Um...Trump is...Megyn Kelly is going to be there...Trump is not. Thus, only one of them is apparently scared.

You gotta see this presser with Trump held shortly after he had enough of Roger Ailes playing games:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAjSisr_RWE

( watch Trump take on a reporter who sought to corner him)

Fox News now will bite the pooch......LOW RATINGS....losing millions in revenue because they effed with Donald.

No longer will the media make or break a genuine presidential candidate ever again. The world just changed.

I now believe that Donald Trump will be the next President of the United States. This video shows it.

I wonder if Fox News (”We distort, you deride”) will have an empty podium in the center of the state?

He should write a big check to Wounded Warriors and go to the debate.

No chance. He needs to send a tweet after the debate. " Well Roger, was trying to stick your little (w)itch in my face worth the several millions dollars I just took out of your pocket?"

He says that in his words but his actions appear otherwise, such as how positive Cruz endorsements and polls dont get sticky`s on front page.

For instance, I can guarantee you that the Tony Perkins HUUGGGE endorsement, that is much bigger than Falwell will not be given much respect here.

Also Quin has a new poll out that shows Cruz has a much bigger lead with Born Again believers , just heard this on CNN. Will this be hidden on FR along with other positives for Cruz

How do you rationalize FR not having the HUUUGGGE Endorsement for Cruz by Tony Perkins on front page.

Try and spin that with a straight face, I just looked for first time today, clearly The owner of the site does not appreciate that Endorsement

It is nice Trump is finally going to raise money for veterans:

When It Comes To Veterans, Donald Trump's Rhetoric Is Much More Generous Than His Giving Record

The Donald J. Trump Foundation has donated $5.5 million to 298 charities between 2009 and 2013 (the most recent year available), according to the non-profit's 990 tax forms from those years. Of that, only $57,000 has been donated to seven organizations that directly benefit military veterans or their families, Forbes found. Wounded Warriors was not among the organizations Trump's foundation gave to in that time period.

Forbes also found that Trump, who we estimate is worth $4.5 billion, has not made personal contributions to his foundation during the same time period. We reached out to his spokespeople for comment, but did not hear back before publishing.

As a veteran myself, I am always skeptical when any politician or celebrity claims to be doing something "For the Vets". It has become the new version of politicians kissing babies.

FR not respecting the huge Tony Perkins endorsement of Cruz, they dont want it on the front page, not given the same respect that the Falwell for Trump was given.

Trump “scared” phony FOX talking point.

The non sequiturs are flying out of Fox to try to regain their lost integrity.

Their debates are controlled by eGOP and frustrated staff who attack Trump, why should he go to be attacked?

Kelly compares herself to Putin

Megyn Kelly is going to be there

Fox has made the debate all about her.
