Donald Trump is doing it again. He’s warning CNN that unless they pay Wounded Warriors $5 million he will not do the debate on December 15th. You may remember Trump pulled this earlier in the summer for an earlier debate. He of course caved and showed up. This time, Trump is mad at CNN for using sound two second snippets to smear him. So unless CNN pay or donate $5 million to Wounded Warrior, Trump wouldn’t show up.
Like last time, this is probably nothing but hot air. CNN hates our military and veterans, so there is no way they would donate a cent, let along $5 million to Wounded Warriors. Trump of course needs the attention, so he will show up for the debate in two weeks.

The front-running GOP residential candidate, who often has crowds laughing during his rallies, threatened to change his joking-style because it results in him being misrepresented — both in the press and in attack ads from his opponents.
“They take two second snippets,” he exclaimed before settling back into his usual style, comedy included.
But that’s not the only threat Trump levied. In a chilly arena that was transformed from an ice rink into an event space by laying down plastic tiles to cover the rink floor, the businessman put a price on his participation at the coming CNN Republican debate: $5 million.
“How about I tell CNN, who doesn’t treat me properly … I’m not gonna do the next debate, okay?” The demand garnered tepid applause from the crowd.
Trump zeroed in more on his idea: “I won’t do the debate unless they pay me $5 million, all of which goes to wounded warriors or goes to vets.”
