Thin-Skinned Trump Pouts, Fearing Megyn Kelly, Will Skip GOP Debate Over Snarky Statement!
El Trumpo is stomping his foot angrily and taking his ball and going home. All because Fox News won’t accede to his ridiculous demand to get rid of Megyn Kelly as a moderator.
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.
Here’s the press conference where he announces he’s still thinking about it:
And then put out a statement that 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…
UPDATE!!! El Trumpo releases this statement that is missing an “of” and says that it takes guts to run away from a small blonde woman:
