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 networks 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.

Dont give that sniveling little bastard the time of day...nothing but a lying backstabber....
Trump ...Art of the Deal....Even bad press is good if you are proven to be right,...
Trump is a master at answering questions...this could be fun to watch..
His will be a challange to Biden to take questions..
Wait. I did not say PDJT would not do a town hall or do well in one if he did. I said Incurious George is inventing a town hall and using it to mock what the president says in his RNC convention address.
President Trump won’t be a willing participant in the town hall, which is just an attempt to fake “fact-check” the president’s speech in real (or unreal) time.
I am convinced that Trump can survive anything, but I would rather he didnt take the risk.

The President should agree, with the proviso that slo joe submit to a similar town hall hosted by Tucker Carlson.
Disagree. Trump should do a townhall everyday from now until the election. The more visible Trump is the more obvious it is that Biden is hiding in his basement.
Trump should only agree to an ABC townhall, if Biden agrees to a Fox news townhall.
Trump should demand half the audiance will be chosen by the RNC.
If they don’t do that George Stephanopoulos will pack the room with never Trumpers, Mary Trump, Stormy DaniaLs, and any slut who wants publicity.
George Stephanopoulos ran the War Room for Bill Clinton and ‘dealt’ with the women Clinton abused. HE IS NOT TO BE TRUSTED....GEORGE IS NOT A JOURNALIST - - HE’S A SNAKE IN THE GRASS.
Don’t do this one President Trump...let it pass.
NO, NO, NO Mr. President, you owe them NOTHING!!!
There well be more plants in the audience than the New York Botanical Garden.
Trump walking into a trap. I hope he asks Stephanopoulos why he lets his wife show porn to their kids. Google it.
Angry dwarf
George Stephanapolous? The Clinton operative?
This sounds like a bad idea.
