“Sparks Will Fly!” – President Trump Announces His Interview with Tucker Carlson Tonight at 9:00 PM ET | The Gateway Pundit

President Trump announced on Wednesday morning that his interview with former FOX News host Tucker Carlson will air tonight on Twitter starting at 9:00 PM Eastern.

The interview will coincide with the first GOP presidential debate in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

President Trump opted out of the debate knowing FOX News hosts and the rest of the GOP challengers were waiting to hit him with a barrage of attacks.

This move was EPIC Trump.

As reported earlier – President Trump will skip the first Republican primary debate and sit down for an online Twitter interview with Tucker Carlson instead, according to the New York Times.

The Republican debate will take place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin tonight and will be hosted by Fox News. FOX Hews is furious that Trump is skipping their debate. The anti-Trump channel went so far as to ban his surrogates from the media room following the debate.

Trump said he won’t participate in the debates because his poll numbers are “extraordinary.”

“Reagan didn’t do it, and neither did others,” Trump said of his decision to skip the primary debates.

President Trump is 50 points ahead of his closest challenger. The GOP field has thus far failed to impress Republican voters.
