Former President Donald Trump has made a brilliant decision to not attend the first Republican presidential debate benefiting him in numerous ways and ultimately making many people unhappy about it.
The other Republican presidential candidates are very unhappy that the former president will not be attending the first debate mainly because it draws attention away from the debate and any chance they have of elevating their poll numbers, especially with Trump’s lead getting larger and dominating the pack.
Instead of Trump going to the debate, he has decided to have an interview with former Fox News host, Tucker Carlson. Why is this such a good move? Its a one-two punch from the former president. He not only gives more attention to Tucker Carlson who was let go from Fox and it will ultimately drastically reduce Fox News’ ratings from the live show from Milwaukee, Wisconsin because the interview will take place exactly the same time as the debate. It’s a shot across the bow from Trump against Fox News.
Many critics are saying that since the interview and debate will happen at the same time, Trump will end up stealing the show and all the press.
On X, Team USA posted “I’ll be choosing to watch Trump and Tucker. Anyone else?”
The Co-owner of Trending Politics Collin Rugg posted “Tucker for the win.”
Trump took to Truth Social to announce, “As everyone is aware, my Poll numbers, over a “wonderful” field of Republican candidates, are extraordinary. In fact, I am leading the runner up, whoever that may now be, by more than 50 Points. Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others. People know my Record, one of the BEST EVER, so why would I Debate? I’M YOUR MAN.”
