Fox News Channel says Donald Trump demanded a $5 million contribution to his charities in order to appear in Thursday night’s debate, which the network rejected.
Fox News says Chairman Roger Ailes, in conversations with Trump, “acknowledged his concerns” about a statement the network had made in the days leading up to the debate.
The network and the presidential contender had been feuding since Trump demanded Megyn Kelly be removed as a debate moderator.
Trump was holding a competing event in Iowa.
What a great negotiator. Asking 5 million and after negotiations he got 0 ZERO. He couldn’t get $ 10.000 out of Fox and he will get the Mexicans build the wall and pay for it?
T rump, if the media isn’t friendly, he ain’t willing. So if he becomes president and has a press conference, if the media isn’t friendly, will they be excluded too?
Most likely!
Good bye freedom of the press….
I personally dont think he wanted them to give 5million..rather was looking for n excuse to skip it.. so dont compare your wall or so. .and yes i think he could make them pay for it…or make a kind off tax/toll for bypass.. so that equals paying for it
In an other point of view..
U would as well run away from a nudge.
& that’s What he felt like by fox..
Not to compare having to deal with whatever else…
To #1 - Regarding your brilliant and scholarly statement, kindly note that Trump raised $6,000,000, for the veterans, which is 1 million dollars more than was allegedly requested of Fox. Roger Aisles met his Waterloo this time. It is time for Rupert Murdoch to retire Roger Aisles, and bring in someone with a little more sachel, than that dictator.
