Just keep in mind, that without Trump, the Fox Debates would have broken every record in the book anyway. I mean, the early debate without Trump scored the 3rd highest ratings in Fox history and produced the over-all winner in Carly Fiorina.
Fox does not need Trump for much of anything.
More than this, Megyn Kelly's ratings number have remained high. Throughout the past several days, Trump took time to continue his childish, punkish, insults against Kelly and Fox News, with Kelly making an announcement, Monday, that she was not going to apologize for being a journalist . . . . Translation? Trump loses and comes crawling back to Fox.
In all probability, this is the real story. But believe the Daily Mail if you will.
Daily Mail: Donald Trump and the president of the Fox News Channel have called a truce, judging from a tweet the billionaire blasted out late Monday morning, following more than four days of post-debate wrangling over how the network’s anchors treated him last Thursday.‘Roger Ailes just called,’ Trump tweeted. ‘He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!’
The end to hostilities between the real estate tycoon and the biggest name in cable news came just hours after Trump said on a rival network that debate co-moderator Megyn Kelly owed him an apology for the questions she asked him during the Cleveland, Ohio debate.
And on Sunday Trump gave ratings-popping phone interviews to every major network with a weekend political talk show – except Fox.
‘It amazes me that other networks seem to treat me so much better than @FoxNews,’ he tweeted hours later. ‘I brought them the biggest ratings in history [in the debate], & I get zip!’
A Fox News Channel spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment on Monday.
