MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa -- Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump says he will not attend a debate scheduled for Thursday night in Des Moines, an unexpected twist just days before voters here launch the election process.
"I probably won't be doing the debate. I'm going to have something else in Iowa," he said during a press conference on Tuesday afternoon.
After the press conference, Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski confirmed to The Washington Post that Trump would "definitely not" participate in Thursday's Fox News debate.
"He's definitely not participating in the Fox News debate," Lewandowski said. "His word is his bond."
He said Trump would remain in Iowa as planned and would instead host an event in the state to raise money for wounded warriors and other veterans groups.
Trump has made such threats before, but he said that the Fox News Channel, which is hosting the debate Thursday night, had gone too far by issuing press statements on Tuesday that he said mocked his concern about Megyn Kelly, one of the debate co-moderators.
"They're dealing with someone who's a little bit different. They can't toy with me like they toy with everybody else," he added.
When Trump saw the press release from Fox, "I said, 'Bye bye,'" he said.
Trump said his event on Thursday will benefit military veterans and service members wounded in war.

Fox said Trump thinks even if he’s president he can pick and choose who covers him. He can. All he has to do is say “That guy does not get a press pass.”
“Any sixth grader could get it.”

Which is both Trump’s speaking and reading level.
“So you have Trump’s draft record or were all college students draft dodgers in your opinion?”
Yes, I have Trump’s draft record. So do you, Google it. No, not all college student were draft dodgers. For instance, my father was a college student at the same time, yet got drafted for the Vietnam War (and did not defer). But Trump did indeed use four college draft-deferences. Then, he used one because he said he had “heel spurs”. Then, he became 4-F, here is the definition:
“Registrant not acceptable for military service. To be eligible for Class 4-F, a registrant must have been found not qualified for service in the Armed Forces by a Military Entrance Processing Station (MEPS) under the established physical, mental, or moral standards. The standards of physical fitness that would be used in a future draft would come from AR 40-501”
Do they have a choice? Where will they go to get that much PR? Do they have a choice? They get no publicity on their own. Do they have a choice? They only know how to go from the watering hole and field to the barn for milking by the media. There is a deep path worn there.
Definitely not watching. Who cares about the rest of them?
Chooses not to be bullied by liberals is mire like it.
He refuses to fall for the Alinsky tactics.
And you’d rather he be a coward and take it? Count on that from the others.
Ha! Trump probably owns half a dozen jails!
I'm pretty sure they have someone to cover that.
Hey, maybe I’m just not a fan of quitters. And liberals. He’s both.
That is amazing how much that looks like Trump? Are they the same person? I’ve seen pictures of them together but could they have been photo shopped?
Bill O’Reilly is extremely upset tonight that Trump turned him down for a cameo during his show tonight. Now Kelly is tryng to justify her biased debate questions. Trump OWNS Fox tonight.
Now she is debate poison.
He never had a trust fund. He was working from the time he was little.
You certainly don’t let facts stop you from spewing lies. Give one source that shows a trust fund.
I guess you don’t think much of your candidate since you have to lie about others to avoid talking about him.
You asked for an example.
thanks for the update. I don’t watch any more.
They only know how to go from the watering hole and field to the barn for milking by the media. There is a deep path worn there.
LOL! Well put.
Neither. And he's not a puppet nor stupid.
I’ve noticed they are in full bore lie mode, lately. Forget links, facts...just blurt it out there...and it’s a fact...in their own minds.
