\"NEW<\/a><\/p>\n

Donald Trump is mad at Fox News.<\/p>\n

Fox is mad at Trump.<\/p>\n

Trump says he won’t appear on Fox “for the foreseeable future.”<\/p>\n

Fox says it has disinvited Trump.<\/p>\n

My head is spinning.<\/p>\n

Trump vs. Fox News<\/a>\u00a0might be the most interesting fight yet in this still-entertaining Republican Party presidential primary campaign.<\/p>\n

But here’s something to ponder, even though just thinking about it gives me the heebie-jeebies: Suppose Americans have gone totally insane and actually elect Donald Trump as the 45th president of the United States. What in the name of all that is holy would a President Trump do whenever some media outlet criticizes a policy decision? Is he going blackball them?<\/p>\n

My strong hunch is that a President Trump won’t have any media covering anything he would do.<\/p>\n

Fox News talk show host Bill O’Reilly had it right: \u201cHe wants people to like him. When people criticize him, he takes it personally,” the host of “The O’Reilly Factor” said. “So I just think this is just a extension of his reality show, \u2018The Apprentice.\u2019 This is just theater right now.”<\/p>\n

Actually, Trump’s presidential “candidacy” has been nothing but theater from the moment he announced it.<\/p>\n

Given this latest stunt with a major media organization, this\u00a0man’s presidential candidacy cannot possibly be taken seriously.<\/p>\n\n
