Mitt Romney Has Tanked Since Turning Down Trump Debate, According to Ego-Monster Donald Trump

NEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 15:  TV personality Donald Trump enters the "Live With Regis And Kelly" taping at the ABC Lincoln Center Studios on November 15, 2011 in New York City.  (Photo by Ray Tamarra/Getty Images) Donald Trump often says things that are not true.

"[Romney's] numbers have gone down very substantially since he said 'no', and a lot people think it's because it showed a lack of decisiveness or a lack of courage in going into this debate," compulsive self-aggrandizer Donald Trump declared on Fox News today. To make this sentence accurate, replace "gone down very substantially" with "slightly increased" — Romney's poll numbers have marginally improved since the candidate declined, on December 6, to attend Trump's widely ignored debate — and swap "a lot of people" for "nobody."
