Donald Trump threatened CNN on Monday by promising to withdraw from the next Republican presidential debate on Dec. 15 unless the network pays him $5 million.
In front of a Georgia crowd, the real estate mogul said, “How about I tell CNN, who doesn’t treat me properly … I’m not gonna do the next debate, okay?”
He then got more serious:”I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which goes to Wounded Warriors or goes to vets.”
Trump’s demand ginned up the crowd; he went on to rip the network for what he perceives to be unfair coverage that takes him out of context.
