After announcing that he will not appear in Fox News' debate tomorrow night, Donald Trump may be ready to make nice with the network again. Trump is scheduled to appear on The O'Reilly Factor tonight. Just in time to keep his name in the headlines.
From The Hollywood Reporter, earlier today:
Donald Trump will appear on Bill O'Reilly's show on Wednesday amid a reignited feud between Fox News and the mogul.
The candidate's campaign spokeswoman and a rep for the cable network confirmed the appearance to The Hollywood Reporter. No additional details were given.
This comes after Trump engaged in another series of Twitter attacks on Fox News and Megyn Kelly this morning:
I have been predicting all along that Trump will participate in the debate and I suspect that he will browbeat the network into agreeing to have Kelly pull her punches.
By the way, there's no mention of Trump's appearance or the topic(s) to be discussed on the FoxNews.com website for The Factor yet.
Stay tuned!

Spot on. I would add that their lot remain just as ill-informed about the “issues” (aka myths) they hold dear to their hearts. Every study worth mentioning has so far demonstrated that immigrants continue to make far greater contributions to local economies than they take from them. Yet, people like Dave continue to rant and rave against immigrants as “takers”.
That’s nothing more nothing less than willfull silliness aided and abetted by FNC and most candidates.
Had my own ancesters been smarter, entry into North America would have been subject to passing an exam both in history (white people were not the first to settle here) and in critical thinking (as opposed to repeating the myths they like and refusing fact-based analyses. Augh!
ez, I believe he’s a cut ‘n paster — and he should at least have the decency to cites the sources for his dribble . . . though I agree he’s likely been here before, albeit under a different sock; I too recall several of them around the ’12 election, all very angry . . .

Our monthly visit from Dave Francis, the Trump Trumpeter!!!
Look, Dave, there’s not too many stupid, lonely people here so you’re not likely to find any Trump supporters. But, I understand your need to try….misery like yours needs the company of others like you in order to feel fulfilled. If you want to believe that Trump and all his baseless, empty promises of “Great!!!!” are going to make your life better, then I truly pity you.
Go away.
Both Political parties are drowning Donald Trump in a bombardment of nasty innuendo, but nothing seems to stick to The Peoples Politician. Trumps said he won’t participate in the Fox debate. Foxes News Megan Kelly clearly got under his collar, after the first debate. My answer is I don’t care? I am not even concerned if he doesn’t have a one-on-one debate with Senator Ted Cruz, or if he can tell the difference between a turban and a hat. I don’t even care if he smudged, whether there is any distinction between term 2 and 2nd Corinthians in the Bible. Nor do I care if he once went bankrupt or had an extra marital affair. Everybody up on that stage has some moral or unethical problem in their background, I am sure?
Actually all I care about for me, my family and friends, is that TRUMP will build a powerful wall, that resembles the Great Wall of China or in contemporary times the Israeli barrier on the West Bank. But a towering wall that is guarded by a force of US Border Patrol agents so the drug dealers are under surveillance all the time, and the illegal aliens imported from our unfriendly neighbors, who sends its poor, uneducated into America so we have to provide sustenance for them. And that the TRUMP wall is constructed high enough to deter families of illegal aliens, who will not be able to navigate around the wall because of the razor concertina wire, stretching a 1000 mile.
I do care that our nation is overrun from foreign nationals that are being catered to more so than our Veteran Warriors and Senior Citizens. Our Seniors should be respected, for they worked all their life’s and now taken for granted, That pregnant woman can fly in through international airlines or just appear at the border, and our Border agents can only process them on their way into our country. That Obama’s minions are going to bring into our country, the so called Syrian Refugees, mostly comprising of young men who could be a serious risk to our National Security. That after the grim controversy from German women of sexual harassment, do we really want our own ladies confronted by such disturbing news and more outcomes that will bring a time of anger down on King Obama. That is why Trump will not only build the wall, but engineers MANDATED E-VERIFY to stop illegal aliens displacing our own people? To further those business owners who willfully hire foreign nationals will be seeing the inside of a court room.
American people have been inanimate for so long about the decades of corruption emanating from Washington. All the politicians who stand on the stage in the debates cannot be omitted from taking money from Special interest donors. Trump has taken no money or favors such as luxury vacations for the whole family, disguised as political conventions. All the big banks and money managers send out there lobbyists to buy their way into The Senate or House Representatives. They Lobbyists puppets will appear at a later date expecting a return for the blood money there owners expect. Whether it’s Jeb Bush, Hillary Clinton, or the range GOP establishment participants in the White House race, to the Democratic heavyweights there is always a pay back time and that it doesn’t exclude Senator Ted Cruz or Marco Rubio, as if you take anything from anybody, the benefactors they will come back for a payoff.
Donald Trump is the first, different applicant for the Oval Office who cannot be controlled as he is free from the wealthy donors. Then as much as I like Ben Carson, former governor Huckabee or John Kasich, they all must bend to the rules of the money purveyors.
Whether its money appropriated from the US chamber of Commerce and the money paid into their coffers by big business to support their favorite personage in the race, or union cash its all the same in the campaigns, it all must be paid back for voting influence.
Its the same with illegal immigration, as both parties are controlled, to either keep CHEAP LABOR pouring through the porous border, caused by King Obamas executive orders and the Democrat main event to realize the potential of illegal voters. A Democratic-Socialist future society in a nation overtaxed, so they can steal other peoples money to control the people, by giving away every program to everybody and anybody. Only citizens and lawful (green card holders) should be able to claim anything, but not the avenue our nation is moving forward right now. The Hillary types are not much different from Extreme Socialist impediment as Bernie Sanders and the entourage of his cronies including the George Soros, a dyed-in-the-wool communist. They are all saying give the ‘People what they want’ and then you have slaves for life, who will follow you just like the ‘freeloaders’ who want everything for nothing, instead of working for it. While the working class cover all the costs.
The voters on the Democratic side of the aisle and who work for a living seem to not realize, that they are also paying for the millions of illegal aliens, whether the live in California or New York state or any of the other 48 states. They also pay for the free schooling, the free subsidized housing, medical, hospital stays, and everything social program in between. It comes out of their pockets as a taxpayer. THOSE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS SHOULD BE GOING TO OUR INFRASTRUCTURE; THE EROSION OF ROADS BRIDGES Etc. They also pay for the elected officials who order the illegal ordinances of ‘Sanctuary Cities’ where illegal aliens congregate, as with the murderer of Kate Steinle murdered by an illegal alien in San Francisco just to name one nefarious act that should never have happened?
Just think of a President Trump in the White House, who cannot be influenced in running our nation. He is a fair, honorable man who will follow the Rule of Law, unlike the present White House sitter. He is rough around the edges, but what he says he means and there are no bones about that? He is outspoken and above all else, he is honest and faithful to the people; not the wealthy, not any donors; not radical environmentalists. Agencies of the federal government will be returned to local government. Jobs and giant corporations will be aching to get back to America, because taxes will be lowered for corporate and for the people. A revitalized military that is no longer ailing from Obamas cut backs? And all of Obamas executive orders annulled and so much more.
There cannot be any real estimate of how many illegal aliens in the country, stealing American jobs or how much it’s really costing. Like everything else the government doesn’t want you to know, it’s hidden from sight.

GET OUT TO THE IOWANS CAUCUSES FOLKS, AS IT MEANS A NEW BEGINNING WITHOUT THE CONTEMPT AND BEING IGNORED BY THE DEMOCRAT AFFLUENT AND GOP ELITISTS.
Trump is right in that the debates need him more than he needs the debates. If his gambit succeeds and the ratings plunge 20%-30% he can claim victory.
The other candidates need the visibility of a debate. Trump is such a celebrity he makes the news with every outrageous staged event. The advantage for Trump of skipping the debate is he controls the message. Watch his Wounded Warriors event (and the fact he flipped off Fox) get more press from outside the Fox News bubble than the actual debate of also-ran midgets.
Anytime Trump wants Fox face time he can get it as proved by O’Reilly’s invite. While I’m sure Bill will give him some pushback over this debate squabble, ultimately he’ll be softer on Trump than a debate performance where he gets hammered by the other midgets on the stage nipping at his shins.
