Donald Trump to Sit down with Tucker Carlson in Lieu of First Republican Presidential Debate

Former President Donald Trump will skip the first Republican National Committee (RNC) primary debate, according to reports.

A New York Times report reveals that Trump plans to skip the debate following months of speculation. Instead, according to the report, Trump plans to sit down for an interview with none other than former Fox News host Tucker Carlson — a great irony, given that the debate will be moderated by two Fox News personalities — Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

The decision coincides with a recent American Pulse survey, which showed Trump leading the GOP field with 58 percent support. It also found over three-quarters of likely Republican presidential primary voters revealing that they will either definitely or probably watch the first Republican debate, taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, on August 23.

I think his decision is a good one. He's already the presumptive nominee despite the party giving him a cold shoulder.

They didn't bother to get a thumbs up from him with regards to the debate hosts, which I think would have been appropriate to do.

Good points, TT.

Personally, I think it'll be interesting to see the television and social media audience sizes for the debates versus the interview.

Looks like I'll be voting for Trump again! OK by me
