Former President Donald Trump left nothing untouched as he made his return to CNN for a town hall on Wednesday night. Here are four takeaways from the event.
The former president and current GOP front-runner for the 2024 election spoke with moderator Kaitlan Collins at St. Anselm College in New Hampshire.Trump had the audience, largely made up of friendly independents and Republicans, laughing and applauding his comments on everything from his recent legal scandals to the debunked claims that the 2020 election was stolen.The former president is facing a slew of legal scandals, with the effect on his reelection campaign yet to be seen.
“What’s happening is they are doing this for election interference,” Trump said of the trial’s verdict. “This woman, I don’t know her, I never met her, I have no idea who she is.” "We did fantastically," he said of his administration and the 2020 election."When you look at that result, and you look at what happened during that election, unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happened."
“We’re at a point now we’re getting so close — let’s just win it again and straighten out our country,” Trump said.During his presidency, Trump frequently referred to CNN as a"fake news" network and never granted interviews to any of its journalists, which is why many were surprised at CNN's announcement that he would appear at a town hall.
