In a dizzying tweet on Wednesday evening, President Trump appeared to threaten to not debate “Radical Left Democrats” or appear on CNN or MSNBC for debates during the 2020 election.

The tweet was in response to news that the Democratic National Committee won’t partner with Fox News for 2020 primary debates. The DNC announced the decision on Wednesday, citing a New Yorker story that dropped this week, alleging that Fox News killed stories not favorable to Trump during the 2016 election.

“Good, then I think I’ll do the same thing with the Fake News Networks and the Radical Left Democrats,” he tweeted. It’s unclear what exactly he means.

  2. Every second Toadglans doesn’t appear on television is a gift from goD.

  3. I wonder what the stats are for Fox having Dems on any of their evening shows? And how many Republicans have been interviewed on CNN or MSNBC.
    Trump who loves him some ratings will find that people won’t tune in to just him, we’ll wait for the news clips.

  4. The baby man/child speaks.
    All must bow down in fear.

    Then again not seeing his fat mug on the telly is fine by me. I have a lotta dvds of movies that don’t star donald trump.
