Donald Trump To Skip First Republican Presidential Debate On Fox News: “The Public Knows Who I Am”
deadline.comFox News is hosting the first Republican presidential debate but the party’s front-runner Donald Trump will not be in attendance.
The former U.S. President will not take part in the GOP debate set to take place in Milwaukee this upcoming Wednesday. “The public knows who I am & what a successful Presidency I had,” Trump posted on his social media platform. “I WILL THEREFORE NOT BE DOING THE DEBATES!” Trump has been hinting for weeks that he was not going to attend the debates despite Fox News executives lobbying him to show up.
