Donald Trump is apparently making good on his promise to not participate in tonight’s GOP debate on Fox News. Trump didn’t ultimately blame his refusal to participate on his feud with Megyn Kelly, but rather on a “childishly written & taunting PR statement” put out by Fox News after Trump initially threatened to boycott the debate.
Trump continues to jab at Fox News today by retweeting this meme:

Snopes points out that “A Saudi prince owns a minority share of Twenty-First Century Fox, the parent corporation of Fox News, via an investment firm,” but is not a “co-owner” of Fox News, and Kelly never posed for a photo with him. Trump was reminded of that:

This photo is a fake. And the prince is not a co-owner of Fox. https://t.co/1GAeAhu4In https://t.co/TTsJ051BCn
