Trump Announces Details of Event Planned for Same Time as Fox Debate

Donald Trump announced a little earlier tonight more details about the event he’s planning to hold opposite the Fox News Republican debate.

Trump has been throwing a fit for the past few days because he thinks Megyn Kelly has been mean to him and Fox News has refused to give into his demands to pull her as a moderator.

Earlier Trump had announced plans to hold an event at the same time as the debate to help America’s veterans. There’s an Eventbrite page saying that Trump will be holding this event at Drake University tomorrow opposite the debate.

The actual email announcement from Trump is actually pretty thin and lacking in much detail:

Stay tuned to see if this actually happens or if this was all staged by Trump to garner maximum interest for the debate and he’s showing up after all. (Which, honestly, is a possibility.)

Then again…

It was the childishly written & taunting PR statement by Fox that made me not do the debate, more so than lightweight reporter, @megynkelly.
