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."

Thx.
total hit job by Fox tonight ... both Bret and this dumb Martha lady disgraced themselves and more importantly the Lincoln memorial with their gotcha questioning tonite, which had nothing to do with getting ‘back to work’...
I thought the President did the best he could tonite, but should learn that Fox will be not be on his side this fall.
I quit watching right after that.
I cannot stand Brett Bear.
I thought that ‘hostile’ questions were mostly set up for the President to knock down.
But China will use Uyghurs for it’s animal tests and present a vaccine first,
BFLR!!
Awesome ad.
I may agree with Shoomah.
NYC should be walled off and never opened up again.....and yes, he can "bite us".
AND...the subways.
Not everyone gets a check. I know younger people in this situation. They didn’t really consider newer workers in that stimulus. They excluded people who could be claimed on a parents return and excluded the parent from getting a bonus. Many of them do not live at home. Not everyone gets unemployment even though the virus cause them to be let go or furloughed. She’s in that situation and right now there’s no help for her. I am glad the question was asked but I wish it had been when Steve and Mike had joined in.
I don’t think this helped Trump. He rambled, he didn’t seem in control of specifics. He has done much better in the oval meetings and press Q&A with governors.
I am glad the questions were not softballs. I think the American people deserve more information on the meat shortages, on the rights that governors may be violating. I don’t think it’s smart for him to predict a vaccine by end of year but was smart to focus on therapeutics.
Bill Kristol is backed by the French-Iranian Pierre Omidyar.
All of Trump’s opponents have Iranian connections.
For the crimes committed by low life, Democrat, New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo & Democrat, low life, Mayor Bill De Blasio, in killing Senior citizen, African-Americans, Latinas and dying old folks in nursing home death cells and destroying the safety of the NYC Subway system by making the NYC Subway System, “HOME-SWEET-HOME” for thousands of poorly, sadly, mentally retarded Homeless Dregs.....they should both be forced to simply ride the NYC Subway, 24/07/365, and mingle with the Homeless folks amongst their feces and urine!!!
It has been all over the web and news to simply go to IRS SITE and choose Get My Refund. Enter ss and address and you get your answer immediately.
If this woman is getting paid via check she may be among those whose ck has not yet gone out.
Who knew that NYC just started closing the subways for two hours a day of cleaning and disinfecting this week! That is shocking.
“have to have these two smarmy anti Trump...”?
BB and MM were horrible from the outset. President Trump did a decent job with it, but not amazing as he usually does.
MM immediately signaled her inner Meghan Kelly/pussyhat/proPP with the hot pink jacket. She is so biased I bailed at the hour point.
President Trump: do not do this again with these “moderators”. They are out to get you.
New screen saver. Thanks.
I am glad the questions were not softballs.

They weren’t softballs, but they were disrespectful and stupid.
And it seemed that most of the show was those two anti-Trump, self-important anal cavities hitting Trump with gotcha questions instead of the advertised “town hall” - which was pre-filled with anti-Trump leftist operatives as well.
I learned absolutely NOTHING from wasting this two hours of my life. I didn’t hear Trump say anything I hadn’t heard him say before, and I just learned to loathe the media even more.

Yep. The gave herself away the night of the state of the union by dressing all in white in solidarity with the leftist twat squad.
“The gave herself away the night of the state of the union by dressing all in white in solidarity with the leftist twat squad.”
Should be “SHE gave herself away...” Sorry. Must learn to re-read posts someday.
I agree with your assessment.
My take was that the Presidential answers were in fact reiteration of points raised daily on the task force briefings.
I concluded the purpose of the Town hall was to present the message to a different audience, an audience that was available only on a Sunday night.
Interestingly, Fox News was complicit in getting out the message to this Sunday only audience
