Donald Trump will not join the Fox News GOP debate in Milwaukee on August 23rd.

He writes on his Truth Social:

“Many people are asking whether or not I will be doing the DEBATES? ALL AMERICANS have been clamoring for a President of extremely High Intelligence. 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. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”

The debate will feature the other potential Republican candidates for the party’s nomination. Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum are the moderators.

Trump has also canceled plans for a press conference in which he promised to give evidence of his innocence in his 4th and latest indictment.

Trump has until August 25th to surrender to state authorities in Atlanta, where he’ll be formally arrested, arraigned, finger printed, and mug-shot.
