Getty Citing unfair treatment, Donald Trump said Wednesday that he is not going to appear on any Fox News shows "for the forseeable future." ".@FoxNews has been treating me very unfairly & I have therefore decided that I won't be doing any more Fox shows for the foreseeable future," Trump tweeted. The Republican presidential candidate has devoted Monday and Tuesday nights this week to blasting the network's coverage of him on Twitter, tweeting and retweeting criticism. "I am having a really hard time watching Fox News," he wrote Monday night. I think @megynkelly should take another eleven day "unscheduled" vacation. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 23, 2015 Trump also called out Bill O'Reilly on Twitter this week for having "the same old Trump haters" as guests and "refusing to ... post the great polls that came out today including NBC." .@oreillyfactor, why don't you have some knowledgeable talking heads on your show for a change instead of the same old Trump haters. Boring! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 22, 2015 O'Reilly fired back on Tuesday, telling NBC's Matt Lauer that Twitter is "like the worst thing you could give Donald Trump." “He wants people to like him. When people criticize him, he takes it personally," the host of "The O'Reilly Factor" said. "So I just think this is just a extension of his reality show, ‘The Apprentice.’ This is just theater right now." Trump has criticized Fox's coverage in the past, particularly in the case of Megyn Kelly, who asked him tough questions during the first GOP debate. He and Fox News chief Roger Ailes have struck two truces in the last two months, the last one coming in late August after Trump unleashed a series of tweets blasting "The Kelly File" anchor. “Roger Ailes is great. He’s a special guy and a good friend of mine. We just spoke two minutes ago," Trump told Laura Ingraham in an Aug. 25 interview. "I mean, Roger Ailes is a great guy and no, I have no problem,." The first truce came days after the Aug. 6 debate at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, where Trump had a contentious back-and-forth with Kelly and said in a later interview that she had "blood coming out of her eyes, blood coming out of her wherever." (He later explained that he was referring to her nose.) “Roger Ailes just called. He is a great guy & assures me that ‘Trump’ will be treated fairly on @FoxNews,” he wrote on Twitter at that time. “His word is always good!” Poster Comment: For the foreseeable future, O'Reilly will just have Carly and Rubio on.

She didn't ask a tough question. Her question dredged up the old Republicans- hate-women theme. And that issue died years ago.
Not with Trump they didn't. The man talks about "ugly women" all the time,while bragging about buying trophy wives. Superficial ain't a strong enough word for him.
“You know, it doesn’t really matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.” Classy guy. There are tangible reasons why he is so desperately insecure about his personal history, character, education, business failures.
1991. I get a kick out of your desperation.
Trump himself digs back over a decade to attack various people. Like your man-crush Trump, you love to dish it out but you certainly can't take it.
We're talking about a quote made 24 years ago that had nothing to do with politics. You are one desperate dude.
Hey, I'm not the one supporting a phony liberal New Yorker media whore who is as much a flim-flam artist as a businessman hawking casinos, golf courses, country clubs, posh buildings, etc. Not to mention his criminal enterprises like housing projects that never get built (and the buyers' money is gone) or running an obvious scam like Trump University.
Gosh. And here I've been told all my life that anyone can be President. Guess not, according to you. Nope. They've got to be professional politicians. Establishment types. Those who know the game and how it's played. A system that gave us Presidential "winners" like Dole, McCain and Romney. Leaders like Boehner and McConnell. Without Trump, JEB! would be in the lead. HE'S preferable?? Even if he wins we lose.
I've said all along that Trump is what will get you Bush as the nominee. Trump essentially can't win the nomination or the WH himself but he can knock out all the governors like Perry and Walker and most of the senators. It looks like it will be Jeb! to dispatch Trump unless Rubio can perform strongly enough to sway the deep pockets in the GOP to support him instead of Bush. Keep in mind, America has never, ever elected anyone president who has not been a legislator, a governor, a general or at least a cabinet member. Never. I don't see Trump being the one to break that mold. People always say they're sick of the pro pols but that seems to be exactly what they actually elect.
Or, before Obama, an African-American. Or a woman. But Hillary is a viable candidate, as is Carly Fiorina. But, maybe we're in the mess we're in because we've never elected anyone President who has not been a legislator, a governor, a general or at least a cabinet member.
But, maybe we're in the mess we're in because we've never elected anyone President who has not been a legislator, a governor, a general or at least a cabinet member. Fiorina is overrated and some of the GOP grassroots are swooning over her (and Carson) for the novelty of having a woman candidate or a black candidate. We've seen this before with Colin Powell and with Griftmaster Alan Keyes and with Herman Cain. And we saw it with Michelle Bachmann running in 2012 and with the devoted fans of Sarah Palin. I would think you would know by now that I will never support Trump for any reason. He's as much a big phony NYC liberal as Xlinton or Chuck Schumer. I have nothing at all in common with Trump or his idea of politics.
A big phony NYC liberal? I don't know what that means. Are you saying he's not going to build a wall and deport illegals, get tough with China, Japan and Mexico, take care of the vets, build up our military, cut taxes on the middle class, or any of the other things he's saying?
TC is a rabid Paul supporter. Rabid supporters get behind their political choice like a rabid NFL team supporter gets behind their pro football team. I have no problem rooting for team Paul (Rand)... but team Rand is 0-9. Who's fault is it that he's not viable?
Not true. I thought he had underperformed his potential as a candidate. Bad messaging, not strong enough in retail political skills (especially debates), etc. I could have supported Perry or Walker because they both had accomplished a lot in their states, Perry on jobs and the economy, Walker on taking on the government unions. I could support Jindal, maybe Kasich. I can't imagine them getting the nomination but I could vote for Carson or Fiorina. I can't see myself voting for Christie or Bush or Rubio, at least given what they have done and said recently and I'd have to see a sharp change in their policy directions before I'd vote for any of them. But Trump? Never. You guys worry far too much over my preferences. I vote in a late primary state so, unless the GOP has a 50-state primary battle all the way to the convention, my preference for the GOP nominee will mean exactly nothing. And I live in a state that has voted Republican since the Sixties. Any GOP candidate that can't win here will lose in a 45-state landslide. And that means that my vote for president is essentially meaningless other than in the (non-binding) popular vote count. Not all votes are created equal. Where you vote is often far more meaningful. Take, for instance, Democrats in deep Red states or Republicans in deep Blue states, how much impact do their votes ever have in an entire lifetime of voting? None, zero, zilch. Until the demographics and politics of their states change fundamentally, their votes count for nothing. And, given that I am conservative (and won't vote for Dems and some GOP pols), my vote is pretty meaningless in both presidential primaries and general elections. This isn't even an unusual situation and I generally think that a majority of Americans live in states where they have no realistic hope of voting to make real changes in their lives or the direction of the federal government.
We won't make any real life changes in government until we keep SHITlary, Uncle Joe or Commie Sanders out of the White House. Iow, your political choice can't do shit unless we get the socialist out. You should be thanking Trump for maybe setting that stage for your choice in 2020.
I hope Trump isn't holding his breath, waiting for my thank-you note.

I'm hoping that if trump wins, and improves the economy, you are the only working citizen that is worse off.
