On Sunday Trump gave ratings-popping phone interviews to every major network with a weekend political talk show – except Fox – as polls shows he was still on top following ‘bloodgate.’
Roger Ailes just called,’ Trump tweeted. ‘He is a great guy & assures me that “Trump” will be treated fairly on @FoxNews. His word is always good!’

And on Sunday Trump gave ratings-popping phone interviews to every major network with a weekend political talk show – except Fox.
‘It amazes me that other networks seem to treat me so much better than @FoxNews,’ he tweeted hours later. ‘I brought them the biggest ratings in history [in the debate], & I get zip!’
In between complaining about Fox and making up with its top boss, Trump sent a final broadside in Kelly’s direction with a tweet Monday morning highlighting a racy interview she did with shock-jock Howard Stern in 2010, when the two broadcasters joked about sex during pregnancy and the size of her husband’s genitalia.
‘Oh really,’ he snarked, ‘check out innocent @megynkelly discussion on @HowardStern show 5 years ago –– I am the innocent (pure) one!’
