Trump May Ask CNN For $10M To Debate

Donald Trump
Donald Trump continues to play hardball when it comes to appearing in future GOP presidential debates.

In an Iowa press conference on Tuesday, the current frontrunner for the Republican presidential nomination told the audience that he deserves to get paid for his debate appearances, given that 24 million viewers tuned in to Fox News to watch him and his opponents spar in the first event last month.

Trump said he is "thinking about" asking CNN's Jeff Zucker to give $10 million to the charity of Trump's choosing before the network's upcoming debate, which CNN's Jake Tapper is moderating from the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Library on Sept. 16.

"Otherwise, I'm not going to debate," Trump said.

Trump had made similar comments in his recent Time magazine interview but was particularly fervent about the message during Tuesday's speech, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
