Trump can think on his feet, he isn’t Biden who can’t even perform with a softball interviewer and an earpiece feeding him answers.

I am sure he will be attacked but he’s always attacked and always holds his own.

Will it be a game changer?

Well he’s way ahead in the primary polling so, I would be surprised if this shifts much.

His loyal supporters will watch Ana’s the TDS haters will watch. I don’t know how many others will tune in… will give CNN some big ratings for a Wed night, but I don’t think it will change the races dynamic much at this point. Too early for any but the most die hard political fanatics to be paying much attention.

Yepper. Trump is good for the box office. Bad for the oval office. You've gotta think like a government run media outlet. Trump is the controlled opposition now, giving certainty to a deep state grip on the Beltway. The deep state fixed the gaps in the 2016 wall. The deep state owns the media, elections, and now has operational control of social media.

There will never again be an outsider that disrupts the carefully laid plans of over 50 years of a one party oligarchy.

Every news media outlet is staffed with political loyalists from political and bureaucratic dynasties. Every head of every agency, their spouses, staffers, and relatives are in executive positions inside of every media news organization.

If Trump can stay within himself he will do fine. He just needs to be civil and go back to his signature issues of making America great again.

Don’t agree CNN viewers don’t even know Trump. They know of some guy who worked with Putin to get elected, hates blacks and Latinos lobes Stalin, wishes to be Kim Jung un and rapes women. Definitely they don’t know the Trump we know. They’ll be surprised that he didn’t show up in black face.

I think he’s crazy to go into that den of hyenas. But that’s just me...

I don't disagree with you but for all the power and influence they are not very smart. Just like Disney, Bud Light and Fox they do not have any grasp of their audience and tend to blunder into walls of their own making.

They can be beat and will be.

Coincidental?
Likely not.

I predict the reviews will be terrible. No matter how the interview goes.

I wish him luck. I read that he decided to say yes because Vivek Ramaswamy went to a CNN town hall in NH and it went well for him.

I hope his reasoning on this goes deeper then comparing Vivek’s treatment by CNN & what he will get!
