Donald Trump’s town hall forum on CNN on Wednesday is the first major television event of the 2024 presidential campaign — and a gigantic test for the chosen moderator, Kaitlan Collins.
Both sides of the political divide expressed suspicion when the CNN forum at New Hampshire’s St. Anselm College was announced last week. Some Democrats question whether the former president should be given the airtime, while Republicans wonder if a network Trump has long disparaged can be fair.
Once it begins, Collins must give audience members the chance to ask questions while determining when to step in with her own. She’ll weigh how to correct misinformation in a potentially hostile environment: Invited town hall participants are those who expect to vote in a Republican primary.
Writing to his followers on his social media platform yesterday, President Trump weighed in. According to Forbes:
Ahead of his first appearance on CNN in years, former President Donald Trump said his decision to take part in a prime time town hall Wednesday night “could turn into a disaster for all, including me.” Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump urged his supporters to watch, saying “I’ll be doing CNN tomorrow night, LIVE from the Great State of New Hampshire.”
Bigly mistake, very bigly.
Yawn....
i’ll be interested to see if/how DJT uses this.
So it will be endless questions about the fake alleged nutjob woman in the dressing room?
I mean, one scream from a dressing room and 100 people would come running. BS
by now, Trump should know this is a bad idea. CNN and others are sealed “rashim” wicked evil.
I will not bet against the Trumpster. CNN knows the they will get some good raings of DJT’s appearance.
Bkmk
Their viewer won’t like this.
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?
