President Donald Trump will take questions from voters live – and ABC News will be there to show his instant reaction.
The Walt Disney-owned news unit plans to air a live “town hall” with President Trump and undecided voters on Tuesday, September 15, at 9 p.m. – just seven weeks before Election Day. The event will be televised by ABC and streamed by ABC News Live, and is the latest in a recent series of big “gets” by the news operation. George Stephanopoulos, the network’s chief anchor, will anchor the proceedings, which will include voters both in person and on a virtual basis.
Such an event can be a tricky one for a news outlet to handle. NBC News in September of 2016 held a town-hall style forum in which former anchor Matt Lauer held forth separately with both Trump and Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton under time constraints in a broadcast put out via NBC and MSNBC. The event drew 14.7 million viewers across both networks, but Lauer and the news outlet drew criticism for the way the anchor questioned both candidates.

IT’S A TRAP!!
If anybody can put these douche-bags in their place, it’s Pres. Trump.
He carried Foster’s leg end in Fort Marcy park
Don’t do it Trump, ABC’s purpose is your total destruction.
Further, they’ll pack the audience with Trump haters.
Only if Biden does one hosted by Dagan McDowell first.
Dagan McDowell has been questionable. Urge folks to contact the WH and Trump not to do this, it’s a trp.
POTUS should tell him to F%@$ Off and Die.
I agree!
No one is more capable of going into the enemy’s camp, and leaving a few grenades, with the pins pulled, behind.
Go Trump!
do not do it, PDJT!
please don’t give that basturd a chance at you
especially not now!
Exactly, the news media always packs the audience at “townhall” meetings with local Democrat activists who HATE conservatives.
Exactly, It will be a BLM rally. Don't do it!!!
Is he going to help him with the answer?
He saved Hussein from a Freudian Slip.

Do not forget the stunt that George pulled on Mutt Romney,
the birth control debacle.
I think it’s stupid. People already know who they are going to vote for and it will be set up audience and I’m sorry, I love our President but sometimes he puts his own foot in his mouth.
NO
DONT DO IT
INSIST ON DEBATES !!
I question the value of doing a townhall with Clinton stooge and liar Stepheanopolos
however, this will be must see TV and Trump will continue to dominate the airwaves and suck the oxygen out of Sleepy Joe media exposure.
FYI, Trump is not engaged in the town hall. Stephanopoulos is inventing a town hall to fact-check and criticize the president. Just a made-up headline. Should be: ABC has found another way to annoy viewers as PDJT is speaking.
