Trump Complains About CNN Debate Format Hours Before It Starts

Hours before appearing on stage tonight, Donald Trump tweeted out a troll-y complaint of the CNN debate format, saying it’s too long and too over-stuffed:

Will be heading over to the debate soon. Can you believe @CNN is "milking" it for almost 3 hours? Too long, too many people on stage!

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 16, 2015

Trump has been throwing lots of barbs CNN’s way over the past few weeks, calling them “terrible” for their unflattering coverage and challenging them to donate the money they make to veterans.

There have been reports about CNN staffers upset with the network’s excessive coverage of Trump, and last night Anderson Cooper cut away from Trump’s big foreign policy speech after hearing no specifics.
