The Oakland County Republican Party over the weekend gave former President Donald Trump an award for “Man of the Decade” -- and he's very unhappy that it didn't get any airplay on Fox News.
Writing on his Truth Social platform, the former president heaped scorn on Fox News for ignoring the award he received, and he suggested that he might use it as an excuse to skip out on the network's Republican primary debate later this summer.
"So FoxNews, which is down 37% in the Ratings, doesn’t cover my getting the 'Man of the Decade' Award (because of my great trade policies!) in Michigan, or my Keynote Speech for Faith & Freedom in D.C., and then wants me to show up and get them ratings for their 'Presidential' Debate, where I’m leading the field by 40 points," he wrote. "All they do is promote, against all hope, Ron DeSanctimonious, and he’s dropping like a rock. Sorry FoxNews, life doesn’t work that way!!!"
Polls show that Trump is indeed leading the Republican presidential field by wide margin despite the fact that he was impeached twice during his first term, he has been indicted on two separate instances on multiple felony charges, and he faces more potential indictments later this year for his attempts to illegally remain in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
