Nearly 4 million viewers watched the Fox News virtual town hall with President Trump, which was broadcast from the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., on Sunday night.

It was the second most-watched town hall in cable news history.

The town hall, entitled "America Together: Returning to Work," focused on COVID-19 and the reopening of the U.S. economy. Trump took viewer-submitted questions during the two-hour event moderated by anchors Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.

According to Nielsen Media Research, Fox News finished first in the 7-9 p.m. time slot, averaging 3.82 million viewers. CNN was second with 1.17 million viewers, while MSNBC was third with 678,000 viewers tuning in, per Nielsen.

The highest-rated town hall in cable news history came March 5, which also was hosted by Fox News featuring Trump.

Does that not make it roughly one million times more viewers than ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC and CNN combined?

By the way, how is CNN doing given that all their captured airport viewers have escaped travel torture?

“Fox News town hall with Trump at Lincoln Memorial draws 3.8 million viewers” S/B “Faux noose townhall only manages to attract 3.8 million viewers!” We watched and two video questions that stood out to irritate me:

1. What are you going to do about the disparity of the CV-19 affecting more AAs than white people?

2. Why did you wait so long to take action when the intel reports were given to you very early on?

Oh well.

I despised the 70+ year old female thing who excoriated Trump for being mean to certain media personalities.’

My mother says exactly the same thing and both “females” claim to be Republicans. What’s funny is I told her earlier this weekend that her age group of women all lean crazy like her, then this lady shows up and parrots my mom.

I think a lot of 70+ year old Republican “women” like their men weak because these same women have domineering personalities and hate men who can take them on.

Partner, the DemonRats and the MSM just do not get it at all on what is going on with this great country of ours.

We need to get all the CEO's and Board of Directors that keep doing business with the Chicoms. We can tar and feather them afterwards.

The Chicoms want to be the No. 1 country in the world and we do not want the Chicoms to be No. 1 in the free world.

We know the Chicoms do not want President Trump since he does not deal well with the Chicoms as they would want and never will President Trump give in to the Chicoms since he is an American patriot first and foremost.

"The American Hating Piece of Work Obama" was not a natural born citizen nor was he eligible to be our POTUS and we definitely know this little detail.

Our MSM and the DemonRat party will try to deflect this little detail but we know better.

I saw excerpts on the Steve Hilton show. Trump does very well when he’s interviewed by reporters who are more concerned about getting information that hassling him with “gotcha” questions. He seemed well informed and articulate about all aspects of the situation.

The fact the media and social media aren't picking out sound bytes shows he did a pretty good job.

Rush raked that woman and her idiotic question over the coals today. And Rush played President Trump's great answer.

The President was spot on with facts and figures. He knew every detail. Joe Biden will never be the nominee for the DNC Biden wouldn’t even know what city he was in.

Martha is looking VERY hot! Did she have all those wrinkles ironed out of her face or is it just makeup? Good makeup job, if it was that.

“The President was spot on with facts and figures. He knew every detail.”

I keep telling you people, Trump is a genius! I’m not giving him a compliment. Moron and imbecile are used as pejoratives, as with “genius” they have actual meanings!

Trump is a GENIUS! He has command of every situation. He trolls people (urinalists) when they have no idea he is doing it to them. They think he is “stupid”. Every day he shows THEM to be STUPID.

God bless President Trump, and keep him healthy to continue to carry out YOUR will. In JESUS’ name, Amen.
