Writing on his social media platform Truth Social, Donald Trump said while underscoring his presidential days: "THIS IS WHY I WILL NOT BE DEBATING!"

Former President Trump noted the latest wave of CBS News polls released Sunday showing him far, far ahead of the Republican field.

It said 62% of those polled would vote for him, even though he has been impeached four times this year, including on charges he tried to subvert American democracy by plotting to overturn the 2020 election and stay in power despite losing to Joe. Biden.

The Republican front-runner for the White House in the CBS poll was Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis at 16%. The rest of the people in the field are polled in single-digit fashion.

Trump wrote that DeSantis was "falling like a sick bird."

"The public knows who I am [and] what a successfulpresidency I've had," Trump said, referring to issues including energy, border security and the military and the economy.

The 77-year-old has already talked about possibly skipping the debate in the Midwestern city of Milwaukee, worried about sharing the spotlight with lower-polled rivals.

The New York Times reported Friday that Trump told aides he planned to show off his rivals by skipping the Fox News event and instead sitting down for an online interview with one of Fox's former anchors, Tucker Carlson.

Even in his absence, Trump will be ripe for controversy from opponents over the four criminal and three civil trials he faces involving allegations before, during and after his scandal-plagued presidency.

"Obviously his legal issues affect this race," 

Fox News anchor Bret Baier, who will 

moderate the debate, told the Milwaukee 

Journal Sentinel.

"All of these candidates have been questioned non-stop about what's going on in courtrooms across the country. So he's going to be part of that debate whether he's there or not."

Seven other candidates have qualified for the debate, including state governors DeSantis and Doug Burgum, former Vice President Mike Pence, Trump's UN ambassador Nikki Haley and South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott.
