GOP APPLAUDS TRUMP’S CNN TOWN HALL PERFORMANCE: ‘HE IS THE PRESIDENT AMERICA NEEDS’

President Donald Trump’s strong performance on CNN’s town hall event Wednesday night has garnered the support and applause of leaders in the Republican Party.

Following Wednesday’s town hall performance, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., a vocal supporter of the 45th president, quickly showed her admiration for Trump’s strong performance on a network known for its hostility toward conservative voices.

“I’m so proud of President Trump tonight, GREAT JOB,” she said. “He is truly showing everyone why he is the president America needs.”

Greene commended Trump’s decision to engage in a town hall event with CNN, despite the network attacking him “more than anyone.” She also drew a distinction between Joe Biden and Trump, particularly in relation to Biden’s repeated refusal to take questions from the press.

“Biden won’t even talk, can’t even talk to the press,” she said. “But President Trump loves this country and is showing he’s willing to fight for it.”

I’m so proud of President Trump tonight, GREAT JOB!

He is truly showing everyone why he is the president America needs.

He is doing a town hall with CNN, who has attacked him more than anyone.

Biden won’t even talk, can’t even talk to the press.

But President Trump loves this…— Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene🇺🇸 (@RepMTG) May 11, 2023

Gov. Jim Justice, R-W.Va., also applauded Trump’s performance at the televised CNN town hall, saying, “President Trump dominated the CNN Town Hall tonight. Make no mistake President Trump will be a fighter for hardworking West Virginians.”

After CNN’s town hall event with Trump, several of the media network’s hosts claimed the reason polls are showing strong support for the 45th president is that he has “lied” to the American people.

Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., who has endorsed the 45th president’s 2024 bid for the White House, immediately pushed back against CNN’s hosts, saying, “He actually did the job. You know that, and frankly, he did the job better than the current president right now, and that is indisputable. Name the issue. Donald Trump did it better.”

In addition to the 45th president’s support from members of the GOP, Trump enjoyed consistent applause and positive feedback from the live audience all throughout CNN’s town hall event. The crowd even welcomed Trump with a standing ovation.

In a post on Truth Social after the event Wednesday night, Trump thanked the audience for their enthusiastic participation in the event. “Hope everyone enjoyed CNN tonight,” he said. “The New Hampshire audience was AMAZING. Thank you!”

The prez with a record of lockdowns and big pharma billions.
Those people who died alone in hospitals and homes without even the humanity of a funeral are turning in their graves.
What a dishonor to their memory.
Moderna n Pfizer though. They thank you for your support.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Yup, you’d have to think that CNN are conflicted about that since their ratings went way up... but I doubt they’ll make that mistake again.

The leftist called CNN’s town hall, a Trump infomercial.

I gave that a 7 on the honking hoot scale.

This may well be valid, but keep in mind that McLaughlin is Trump’s pollster.

You again. President Trump didn’t lockdown anything, that was left to the states. At least you gave up on your other stupidities.

That town hall meeting reminds me of a 2016 debate where Trump was verbally attacked by Megyn Kelly, and Trump's poll ratings skyrocketed afterwards.

After seeing the town hall meet, I listened to Megyn Kelly's take on it. Surprisingly, she was all pro-Trump and blasted the female CNN "moderator" as being a young inexperienced anchor full of mistakes in becoming the news rather than being a moderator, asking more questions than the audience (they're supposed to ask the questions), and failing to let go of her bias and move the pace along. I thought that was what Megyn did with Trump in 2016. Goes to show you that Donald Trump can convert anyone to his side.

For those who want to watch President Trump’s CNN town hall go here:

https://www.clayandbuck.com/watch-the-cnn-trump-town-hall/

I couldn’t believe all the videos on You Tube with DemonRATs trying to debunk President Trump’s comments. If anything, the moderator did everything she could to interrupt his answers and try to change the subject when he was giving a strong answer. CNN used the town hall to sabotage President Trump and failed. The You Tube videos tried to salvage their effort with lies and without seeing the actual town hall, you would believe what the videos said. However, You Tube does not have the full video of the town hall. I wonder why?

Trump's the one...

Both Trump and Biden have been President - so ask yourself - WHO DID THE BETTER JOB?

Trump on War? NO WARS WERE STARTED UNDER TRUMP'S PRESIDENCY.

Biden on war? The disaster of Afghanistan - and billions thrown into Ukraine - one of the most corrupt countries in the world.

Trump on inflation - almost none

Biden on inflation - worst in 40 years

Etc Etc Etc...
