Fox News Is Straight Up Clowning Donald Trump Now

It’s a full-on war of words between Fox News and Donald Trump … and boy is it a doozy.

Fox News just released a statement to TheWrap, following our report that the GOP frontrunner is polling his social media followers on whether or not he should show up at the upcoming Fox News GOP debate on Thursday.

We actually had to do a double take when we first read Fox’s response:

“We learned from a secret back channel that the Ayatollah and Putin both intend to treat Donald Trump unfairly when they meet with him if he becomes president,” Fox News said in the statement, adding this gem: “A nefarious source tells us that Trump has his own secret plan to replace the Cabinet with his Twitter followers to see if he should even go to those meetings.”

We of course sent the statement to Trump to see if he has a response. We’ll keep you posted as soon as we hear.

Stay tuned…
