Surprise, surprise! Former President Donald Trump, acknowledging an offer he couldn’t refuse, is scheduled to appear in a live town hall event on CNN tonight (Wednesday May 10) starting at 8 PM ET with a replay four hours later. CNN’s online schedule has it running for 75 minutes. This will mark the first time POTUS 45 has been interviewed on the channel since before he was elected president in 2016.
The ensuing years, both during and after his presidency, witnessed President Trump frequently identify CNN as the leading example of the term he introduced to describe much of the mainstream media: “fake news.” More than once, he also decried CNN as an “enemy of the people.” Recently, however, CNN’s new corporate management has made it known that the channel will in the future aim to be less ideological, more balanced, and more open to the conservative right. The recent firing of Don Lemon, one of Mr. Trump’s leading critics on the channel, might be a sign that something is finally changing there.
The moderator of tonight’s broadcast will be Kaitlin Collins, the co-host of CNN’s struggling morning show. Lemon was a co-host of the program until he was sacked on April 25 – ironically the same day that FOX News ceased carrying its number one prime time program, Tucker Carlson Tonight. Collins, a fast-rising star at CNN, before joining the cable channel in 2018 worked for the Daily Caller, the conservative online publication co-founded by… Tucker Carlson.
Without specifying what CNN offered him, President Trump, according to Forbes, “said he decided to accept the network’s offer to appear because ‘they made me a deal I couldn’t refuse.’”

All the naysayers here would be very mistaken to underestimate Trump.
How well would you do if the entire federal government was out to stop you?
It amazes me what he has withstood, and he keeps fighting.
Be stupid and yawn at this, but this will give him a huge pulpit.
It will probably be their biggest viewing audience in YEARS.
Everything he says will be taken out of context and distorted and reshaped to make him into Charles Manson
So, is the first question whether he will pay the civil Judgment for defamation of a crazy lady whose reputation was made even more crazy?
