Donald Trump will not attend the first GOP debate on Fox News, which should not surprise anyone. Instead, he plans to do a sit-down interview with Tucker Carlson.

Trump’s poll numbers in the primary exceed everyone running, and he sees no value in showing up for the debate. He probably sees no value in showing up for Fox News either.

Fox News won’t be happy. The ratings will likely go to Tucker, the host they fired.

“As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a “wonderful” field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points. Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I’M YOUR MAN,” Trump said.
