Trump rails against electric vehicles and windmills in Michigan

Donald Trump has called for an end to the GOP primary debates, describing them as a waste of time as he went on the attack against his Republican presidential rivals.

Taking to Truth Social, he hit out at the low ratings from Wednesday’s debat, writing: “FOX NEEDS MAGA, THEY JUST DON’T KNOW IT YET. STOP WITH THE BAD DEBATES & NEGATIVE ADS, NO MORE. GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!”

This comes as the former president’s own legal troubles continue to unfold with the New York civil trial stemming from a multi-million dollar fraud lawsuit targeting Mr Trump, his adult sons and chief associates likely to begin next week –after an appeals court rejected a last-ditch attempt to stall the hearings.

Both the prosecution and defence teams revealed their proposed witness lists on Thursday, including a slew of employees and business contacts of the Trump Organization as well as members of the family and former associates including Michael Cohen.

Meanwhile, Mr Trump is now suing ex-British spy Christopher Steele over the Steele dossier which made a string of explosive claims against the former president and his alleged links to Russia.
