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.
By skipping the debate, Trump is also denying the other candidates exposure. He’s ensuring that nobody watches them.....
He’ll be back on Thursday, unfortunately.
Cruz should attend the Trump fundraiser for the vets.
They should unite and not debate.
No they won’t. Most of those people don’t live and die for cable news channels.
I think fox should leave an empty podium for him and ask it questions....
Do you work for the MSM? Because they are selecting the "vetting" questions.
He is pro-abortion, even pro-partial birth abortion, he supports Dems.
When will Conservatives realize this is a big power-hungry blimp lib who thinks he can fool all the people all the time.... and is doing a pretty good job of it?
Other than make faces, scream make America great again, insult people, make money by screwing investors through bankruptcies, and having books ghost-written for him, what has he done, except chicken out of this debate.
He realized America is about ready to catch on to his act, so he cut and ran.
Coward.
Ted Cruz’s idea in 5, 4, 3, 2...
Did you forget about this? Even Cruz was sick of the media bias.

Agree, less exposure for other candidates. Trump threw the Trump Card. Send thank you notes to FOX News.
How about the 30% of Iowa voters that are undecided or the additional 20% who say they could change their vote? The man who already called Iowa voters stupid bow takes his soccer ball and goes home. Think that will play well in Dubuque with conservatives?
Oh I thought the statement was WAHHHHHHH WAHHHHHHH WAHHHHHH
Don’t you think it would have been a smarter play to boycott the NBC or MSNBC or CNN debates?
Not a good move for him, does he really think his supporters are mindless sycophants? I only thought the rats had them...
Or have the guy that imitates him on SNL fill in his spot at the podium.
Losers. Tell them to vote for Jeb.
-— trying to use our honorable servicemen and veterans TO MASK HIS COWARDLINESS. -—
Just like he did with the NYFD at the last debate.
He couldn’t be more transparent. But some sales tricks are eternal.
Another master stroke. If Trump doesn’t come in first in Iowa now, no one cares. He put the vets above his campaign.
Yes, I think it will play very well.
It really was a brilliant move.
Why, yes he does think his supporters are mindless sycophants.
