Failed former president Donald Trump’s Wednesday evening town hall on CNN was 90 minutes of bluster, false bravado, lies, and treasonous statements.
The Washington Post summed up the event this way: “Trump’s CNN town hall: Defending rioters, mocking sexual assault, threatening default.”
He refused to acknowledge he lost the last election. He said he’d pardon rioters at the U.S. Capitol. He condoned sexual assault and smeared a victim. He wouldn’t rule out restoring a policy of separating immigrant families at the border or say if he wanted Ukraine to defeat Russia. He countenanced defaulting on the national debt. And he dodged repeated questions on abortion.
In other words, it as more of the same from a man a vast majority of Americans tell pollsters they don’t trust, don’t like, and have no intention of voting for.
Should Trump win the GOP presidential nomination, he’ll be in a rematch of the 2020 election and facing President Joe Biden, who masterfully trolled Donald with two postings on Twitter.
There was also a video from the Biden/Harris campaign that reminds Americans who was responsible for the terror that took place on January 6, 2021.
Trump probably thinks his town hall was a big win. It wasn’t. It only served to remind Americans what they hate about him.
