Donald Trump says it’s “unlikely” that he will join Megyn Kelly’s Fox News show for an interview after his fight with Fox News over the questions asked by Kelly at the first Republican presidential debate.
“They wanted me to do her show, but I’m not looking to do that. I know it’s good show business, I know it’s good for ratings, but that doesn’t matter,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in an interview publishing online on Wednesday.
After Kelly asked Trump about his treatment of women at the debate, the real estate mogul said that Kelly had “blood coming out of her wherever.” The comment briefly cause a riff between Fox and Trump, until Fox News Chairman Roger Ailes called Trump to settle the matter. Trump confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that he and Ailes have made up.
“We were at war because I felt that [Kelly’s debate question about women] was unfair, and I let him know it. But it’s all fine now,” Trump said. “They were tough questions, and I thought inappropriate, but Roger didn’t, and I’ll go with Roger.”
Trump acknowledged that he may need to approach the media differently now that he is running for president when asked if he should be “more diplomatic.”
“A little bit. A little more selective, I would say, more than diplomatic,” Trump said in response. “And I’m very capable of doing that.”
The presidential candidate also told The Hollywood Reporter who should eventually play him in a movie.
“Somebody really, really handsome. That’s the only thing that matters,” Trump said. “I don’t care if he can act well. He’s got to be really, really good-looking. OK?”

More intra-party battles! Love it!
What the Trumpenstein should have said was “yes, I’ll go on Kelly’s program after she texts me a full apology for her misdeeds, a message I’ll read on the air at the start of our interview”.
Hah!
Megalomania: Obsession with the exercise of power, especially in the domination of others. Delusion about one’s own power or importance (typically as a symptom of manic or paranoid disorder).
Hell Toupee strikes again. Score one for Kelly if she succeeds in keeping him off her show,
The Donnie is a lesion in his own mind…
What makes a question “unfair”? Is it that it forces you to reveal yourself that makes it so? If it’s a BS question just call it down as such. But how can any question ( provided it is a true question and not a declarative masquerading as an interrogative ) be unfair?
