If you’d have told me three years ago Trump would have his own town hall on CNN there is no way I’d have believed it. Fake news central? The ENEMY? The home of Brian Stelter, Jake Tapper, Chris Cuomo, and Jim Acosta? Really? No way.
Yet last night, lots of Americans (3.1 million so far!) watched as Trump embarrassed Kaitlan Collins over and over and over again. There were plenty of good moments during the town hall because let’s be honest, this is where Trump shines. Television. Debate. Charm and play to the audience.
And last night Trump was on his game. It wasn’t easy to pick just five top moments but I was able to push my way through it.
Heh.
Take a look.
Trump calling Nancy Pelosi a ‘crazy woman’. This is indeed my favorite of the night.

Addressing the southern border which has been and continues to be such a Charlie Foxtrot under Biden. It’s never great under a Democrat but man, whatever Biden is doing it’s really really really bad. Or you know, whoever is actually pulling the strings of this government right now.

And of course, we all knew they’d ask Trump about Ukraine so they could find a way to tie him to Russia and Putin because that’s all they know how to do. He handled it very well.

The classified documents bit was great – especially how he pointed out a vice president cannot declassify anything. So ultimately, what Biden did was far worse. Bigly worse even. Does that work? Eh, it does, for what I’m doing here.

This was SO GREAT. I actually wrote about this one earlier today, when Kaitlan accused him of waiting for three hours before saying anything to the people at the Capitol on January 6 and Trump brought a receipt to debunk that lie?
Legendary.

Nasty person.
Heh.
He’s not wrong.

Womp womp womp, CNN.
