“His word is always good!” wrote the billionaire businessman and 2016 Republican presidential candidate, whose unorthodox campaign is dominating the race and summertime polls.

Trump and Fox News, one of the most powerful voices in Republican and conservative circles, have been in a bitter feud since last week’s presidential debate.
“You could see there was blood coming out of her eyes”. And that got him thrown off the program Saturday at the RedState gathering of conservatives. “I said nothing wrong”, said Mr Trump.
This time Trump, who has made inflammatory statements against Mexicans crossing the border illegally and Vietnam War veteran Sen. “I think we should judge each of the candidates on their merits and their stands on the issues”, Branstad added.
“I’m leading by double digits, so maybe I shouldn’t change”, he boasted.
Trump nevertheless did not offer an apology.
“He felt attacked. It wasn’t an attack”. To get them to do his bidding, he said. “I don’t want to say that”, said Trump. “I would take the oil”.
About his comment, Trump has not apologized.
Trump’s adversaries seized the opportunity to score points against the unlikely frontrunner.
Former Hewlett-Packard CEO Carly Fiorina, the only woman running for the GOP nomination, was among the first to speak out.
Trump, who afterward accused Fox moderators of asking “unfair” questions of him during the debate, was clearly a main factor – and in a brutal tweet Friday he let the broadcaster know it.
“There is no truth to this report and no change from what Mr. Trump has previously said”, Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks said Monday. “I’ve found that whenever women touch anything, they clearly make it better than we do as guys”. Do you think I would make a stupid statement like that? People were so upset, Trump said, “they had virtual riots” because he was not in attendance.
“In no way do I advocate saying mean things about people. That has nothing to do with political correctness”, Carson said during an interview with CBS.
Trump, who was joined by nine other candidates at the debate Thursday evening, faced tough questions about his past disparaging comments about women and being the sole candidate to refuse to pledge his support to the eventual party nominee.
But Branstad, who is serving his sixth term as Iowa’s chief state executive, isn’t buying Trump’s remarks.
At 44, she is recognized as successful, smart, commanding and, as she demonstrated during Thursday’s GOP debate, a woman more than ready to stand up to Trump.
Rosie O’Donnell tweeted: “try explaining that 2 ur kids”.
The comedienne and actress later responded to Trump’s comment on Twitter.
