This was somewhat of an awkward moment as Bret Baier from Fox News asked the Donald straight out if he was going to show up at their GOP debate.
Here’s his answer:
He was pretty non-committal, meaning he could go either way.
Here’s the press statement he was whining about:
“We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president — a nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”
They’re making fun of his going to ask his Twitter followers if he should go to the debate.
Well, what do you think? Is he going to show?
UPDATE!!!!!
Of course Trump does a press conference like 5 mins after this airs on Fox News and says he probably won’t do it.
Watch below:
MORE UPDATE!!!!!
OK so now it looks like he’s definitely not absolutely not no way doing the debate:
Washington Post: Trump to skip FOX debate, campaign says

Trump camp manager @CLewandowski_ confirms to WaPo that Trump is “definitely not” participating in Fox New debate. “His word is his bond."

Lewandowski says Trump has had no conversations with Reince Priebus or Fox executives about his decision to skip Thursday’s debate.

Lewandowski said there is nothing Fox News can do to convince Trump to participate in the debate.

The tone of Fox’s debate press release really ticked off Trump and his campaign team. They said they saw it as inappropriately hostile.

BOOM!!! El Scoopo believes he’s still bluffing, and so do I. He needs Iowa way more than Fox News needs ratings. If there are more good polls for Cruz, expect a lot of Trumpsters to have to make excuses for why he caved and went anyway…
