"I have much bigger things to think about, honestly," Trump told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham. "They made a big deal out of that and I just don’t see — that was a retweet."

Late-night tweets Monday discussing Kelly's appearance and one referring to her as a "bimbo" reignited tension with the network and prompted strong criticism from several Fox anchors.

"I watched her show last night. She was very nice and I appreciated it," Trump said Wednesday, referring to Kelly's show, which included highlights of his remarks in Iowa on Tuesday night.

Trump said during the Ingraham interview that he spoke to Roger Ailes by phone earlier Wednesday, saying the Fox News chairman and CEO was a good friend and "no, I have no problem."

Ailes issued a lengthy statement Tuesday condemning Trump's latest attack on Kelly, after which the celebrity real estate tycoon said he didn't consider her a quality journalist.
