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 â 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.

He’s going off the deep end. Trumped by a petty feud.
Does Trump hold grudges this badly? Let it go, Donald. She’s a reporter, what did you expect?
Donald your inability to let this “insult” is very troubling.
SO WHAT?
POLITICAL CORRECTNESS RUN AMUCK ... moo
In two days He’s insulted Michelle Malkin and Megyn Kelly two solid conservative woman and obsessively keeps it up to the cheers of his fanboys. When did it be cool on this forum to demean conservative woman?
She started it. Karma is a bitch!
Megyn Kelly is a conservative woman?
This may be the meltdown people warned about. Then again, it may not. Either way, his most rabid supporters will have no trouble explaining it.
Truth hurts, eh?
Heâs going off the deep end. Trumped by a petty feud.
And what happened to Cruz after Trump carpet bombed him on Twitter? He crashed in the polls. Sorry.
I watch her a lot and yeah she’s conservative. She certainly never said Hillary would make a great president like Trump.
Trump can dish it but can’t take it. Coward.
Is this new news or repeat news?
She’s a bimbo, what’s the issue?
What’s a “raging tweetstorm”?
Trump’s tweets look normal to me.
Ted’s been “raging” about duckingdonald.
There are real issues in this country that deserve to be discussed. Instead. Trump is orchestrating this circus. he’s acting like a Democrat. It’s a pathetic disgrace.
wow its like a 13 year old that found out that not every one liked him... If he was a 13 year old doing this at a school they would put a watch on him for possible “incidents” in the future.
Conservatives dont give on-air BJs to fat commie pigs like MM.
