Trump Tweets Won’t Do Fox News Shows for ‘Foreseeable Future’

September 23, 2015 — 12:39 PM EDT

“@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,” Donald Trump writes in Twitter post.

Trump post is continuation from yesterday, when he sent several tweets critical of Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly:
Among them: “Do you ever notice that lightweight @megynkelly constantly goes after me but when I hit back it is totally sexist.

She is highly overrated!”

NOTE: Trump has been critical of network since first GOP presidential debate, when he said questioners, incl. Kelly, were unfair to him

1. The thing is, Fox News essentially created the Political Donald Trump.

And he probably would never have the platform he had but for Fox News.

On the other hand, Fox News has to worry about the Frankenstein's Monster they've created.

Screw them both. They deserve one another.

They'll bring out the long knives now. They'll play the tapes of him praising Clinton and claiming to be a Democrat over and over and over again.

This fight will be his undoing because his followers watch no other channel and Fox has access to plenty of video to prove Trump is a liar and a fraud.

He has to fall back and the best way to do it is with a "Fox feud" where Fox starts playing tapes of Trump.

It's all the same shit he was doing with the WWF.

...that Trump's Twitter tantrums only further support Megyn's initial question of whether Trump has the temperament necessary to be to POTUS.

NOT! You want fairness, quit the childish wining and act like an adult. You have insult every who you think has gotten in your way.

8. I dunno, he gets great ratings from going on Foxnews no matter what the idiots try to do.

Seems we find that Foxnews employees really are pathetic losers. They have their own brand of crappy reporting and don't like outsiders. So we get to LMAO watching one crappy person try to pretend to have morals over a crappy outsider.

Oh goody! This will pit conservatives against conservatives and divide their loyalty between choosing to side with Trump (whom they clearly adore... at the moment) or stick with the more establishment candidates that Fox is pushing on them.

Hold onto yer hats and place yer bets, folks! Round and round she goes, and where she stops nobody knows!
