America Together: Returning to Work President Trump Virtual Town Hall(Live Thread)
Fox News ^ | Fox News

Posted on 05/03/2020 3:29:15 PM PDT by infool7

Trump to take questions in Fox News virtual town hall at Lincoln Memorial amid coronavirus recovery As some states loosen lockdown restrictions and the nation's battered economy begins to recover, President Trump is set to participate in a Fox News virtual town hall from 7-9 p.m. ET at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Sunday night, entitled "America Together: Returning to Work." The event is set to be co-moderated by Bret Baier, Fox News' chief political anchor and executive editor of "Special Report," and Martha MacCallum, the executive editor of "The Story," featuring questions submitted by viewers on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. After what he called a "working weekend" at Camp David, Trump returned to the White House at 2 p.m. ET on Sunday. The president has faced a cascading series of challenges in recent days, including protesters in Michigan storming the state capitol to protest stay-at-home orders, reports that North Korea's leader was alive and healthy despite a CNN report that he was near death, and apparent discord within his administration as to the potential threat still posed by the coronavirus. Bombshell disclosures by the Justice Department, meanwhile, largely supported Trump's claims that FBI officials furtively worked to target some of his former top officials. Among other revelations, FBI communications made clear that top bureau officials discussed their motivations for interviewing former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn in the White House on January 24, 2017 -- and openly questioned if their "goal" was "to get him to lie, so we can prosecute him or get him fired."

It’s not the Fox of a few years ago. Murdoch’s kids and Paul Ryan have perverted it.

MM asks about why the Javits center wasn’t used well and people sent to nursing homes instead. Trump rightly told her to ask Cuomo and quickly recapped the extraordinary effort in establishing the Javits and docking the Comfort.

Laura Ingraham should have been the solo moderator.

It was a total set up, even the commercials.

The questions are supposed to be lame ... that’s why the Fox duo chose them.

Trump just said you have to ask the Governors.

MM really isn’t all that bright. Her show interviews are real yawners...

Bret and Martha think they’re being so clever with their follow-up “gotcha” questions but it’s like President Trump has a baseball bat in each hand and he’s swatting those lame offerings out of the park like Babe Ruth taking batting practice from a Little Leaguer.

This virus hoax has done more damage to Trump than anything thrown at him so far.

He nearly allowed the enemies within to frighten him into willingly going into a global depression to “fight” the virus, and lose the election to boot.

Almighty Lord, I pray that you will see fit to help our people get back to work and start spending whatever money they can to help our country not fall off the cliff into recession.

Your will be done, Amen.

We attended church this morning...it was great. There were sanitizing stations and chairs/rows were spread out, but no one wearing masks, no on freaked out.

I believe Texas/Florida will lead the way on getting back to normal.

I got to thinking this morning, the state of Texas has 29 million citizens. We have around 1200 deaths due to Covid. Then subtract those in that 1200 who had pre-existing chronic health issues...the death rate is less than 1%.

Is this worth all the nonsense?

I agree... I'm not a Fox News hater like many FReepers seem to be. FNC has given us Tucker, Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Maria Bartiromo, Jesse Watters, Jeanine Pirro, Greg Gutfeld, Steve Hilton, Mark Levin, the Fox & Friends conservatives, et al.

Not to mention regular conservative "contributors" like Victor Davis Hanson, Mollie Hemingway, Dan Bongino, Tammy Bruce, Larry Elder... The list goes on and on.

Not really liking the snarkiness I’m sensing from BB and MM :-(

Did anyone happen to catch that absurd I’m A Republican and I want Vote by Mail commercial???

Unreal....I doubt VERY seriously these paid actors were actually Republicans, wishing for VBM.

I should’ve written down the name of this fake group.

I am SO sick of this leftist push for Vote by Mail.

She gave him an opening to blame Cuomo on the nursing homes, good for her.

But, in general, the media meme is: “Blame to Trump, credit to the Governor.”
Especially early in this the (DEM) Governors were awful, pathetic.
Media will end up ‘balanced’ after they tear into the (R) Governors opening up.

Trump went really easy on Cuomo with the question about the people being sent back to the nursing homes instead of to the ship Comfort or the Javits Center. Trump mentioned that it was up to the governors.

I saw DeSantis interviewed on TV earlier today. Florida has had few deaths in nursing homes. They specifically did not allow people who tested positive for coronavirus go back to the nursing home, the opposite of NYC. They also sent some kind of task force to nursing homes to help with the situations
