Trump Tells Newsmax He May Consider Debating, Announcement Expected Soon
Former President Donald Trump has said that he has not yet made a decision on participating in the first GOP primary debate, but his official announcement will come next week. Trump addressed those who suggest he lacks the courage to debate others on what he believes is a “hostile” anti-Trump network. He cited his experience in a CNN town hall as an example of a hostile platform and claimed that his performance was so successful that the head of CNN was fired. Trump stated that his decision to participate in the debate is not about courage but about intelligence. He recently had dinner with network executives who tried to persuade him to join the debate, but Trump’s focus is on winning rather than ratings. He also criticized Fox News host Chris Wallace for allegedly favoring Joe Biden during the 2020 presidential debate. Trump claimed that Wallace helped Biden deflect questions about the Hunter Biden laptop story. Despite the controversy, Trump believes he was right about Ukraine. No further details were given about the upcoming GOP primary debate.
