The president answered voters' questions Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Read the full transcript of President Donald Trump's ABC News town hall, Tuesday at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia.

As much video as I’ve seen he’s always said it right “herd immunity” but here he slipped up and said “herd mentality” just like Obama suggested there were 57 states.
Yes!!
And, remember when 0bama slipped and said, “My muslim faith”....and, STEFFY corrected him, and said, “You mean, you’re Christian faith”.
It's late.
Thank you for that link. At least I can watch (nearly) the entire thing! :-)
Yes, President Trump downplayed the pandemic to disproportionately harm low income and minority communities.
Brown Deer has posted a link to a 'low quality' video of the entire Town Hall in #17. Since I missed 95% of the live event, I'll take it. ;-)
Brown Deer has posted a link to the full transcript of the Town Hall on this thread, plus another link (in post #17) to a ‘low quality stream from a TV screen’ of all or most of the Town Hall, if you are interested.
So now we see the kind of questions Chris Wallace will ask in the debate 2 weeks from today. Nuanced BS questions wrapped around a veiled insult coupled with real time “fact checking” by the host.
Im amazed at Trumps stamina. Im still recovering from simply attending the Sat night rally in NV and since then hes done events in Las Vegas, CA, AZ, back to DC for Middle East peace treaty signing. And now this town hall. All in less than 48 hours. My legs still hurt from the 3 mile walk to the minden rally and hes 30 years older than me and has done so much more than I have since Sat....
“I’m not going to sugar coat, Trump was NOT well prepared.”
I am totally baffled by the Trump campaign strategy.
I double dog dare Biden to walk into a hornets nest like that. Trump isnt that great versus that random crowd, but you cant make everyone happy.
Bidens town hall will have thoughtful but provoking questions like
Whats your favorite color?*
Have you driven the new Corvette?
* OTOH, this one might be tricky.
Its a complete set up. Questions clearly provided.
Id give the benefit of the doubt; audience carefully selected.
If Biden went up against an equally hostile R audience, he would last about five minutes. Literally.
Stefanie kept badgering DJT about the obvious systemic racism of blacks being supposedly killed by the police at 3 times the rate of whites or some such. Is everyone so stupid that they dont understand that not everyone is interacting with the police at the same rates??
You really cant argue with people who pull facts our of thin air. If that statement has any truth to it at all, Id like to dig deeper as to the reasons why. Maybe it IS racism. Maybe its something else. I wonder what it could be?
I think at the time trump was getting ambushed by steponallofus and did not have time enough to dredge up the correct phrase, settling for a phrase that sounded similar, but i think everyone with half of a brain knew what he intended to say, and he did not seem to let it bother him that he did not have the 100% correct phrase, but just kept on going.
A few of them stumbled through their cards. If they werent so hostile Id say maybe they were nervous. Only two that looked legit were the guy with the question about BLM/cop killers vs everyone else, and the recent Latino citizen who lost her mother.
And I dont think Biden would even last 5.
Some have been asking why even go there. To blow up the left’s narratives. ABC basically only has anti Trump voices. The only real way to get directly to their audience was to go into the lions den. He likely carved off a significant group of independents and some middle class dems. Trump’s base is solid. He is now slicing off strategic portions of the dem base.
Live East coast and Central tape delay west coast and Rocky Mountain.
B.S. Trump knows his stuff inside and out. Despite being in enemy territory with a lot of hostile questions and a hostile moderator, Trump hit a home run with every answer, and made Steffy speechless numerous times.
Are liberals like Stefanie stupid, willfully ignorant or simply dishonest? Some combination thereof? Everyone knows that black males aged 16-50 commit crimes at a much higher rate than other cohorts of the population. If you’re committing crimes, your chances of having to interact with the cops skyrocket. And the more you are engaged with the police the greater the chances of a bad incident with them. How is this not obvious to any honest, reasonably intelligent person?
Whether or not it was aired speaks to its influence and or importance. You knew that.
CondoleezzaProtege asked an honest question and the best you could do is snark out a BS answer.
