President Trump is a brave man. He went into enemy territory (aka ABC News) for a townhall event in which allegedly undecided voters from Pennsylvania were able to ask him questions. We’ll save our comments about the alleged “undecided” voters for another time as President Trump was able to easily overcome ABC’s underhanded tactic of trying to stack the deck against him.
This event really showed the President’s media prowess. Unlike his normally brash and sometimes harsh personality he uses on Twitter and social media, President Trump was much calmer, more intellectual at this event. That’s because he knows that audiences of network media channels like ABC News generally tend to be higher educated audiences who gravitate towards a candidate with more of a calm, steady demeanor.
President Trump also obviously came prepared. He knew Bill Clinton’s former communication manager George Stephanopoulos would be moderating the townhall. If it wasn’t already obvious, Stephanopoulos is a Democrat who hates President Trump. He was a major contributor to Hillary Clinton’s campaign in 2016.
So when Stephanopoulos would try to railroad President Trump, he was ready. He called out Stephanopoulos’ bias when appropriate and never backed down from a question—no matter how badly ABC tried to rig the event against him.
Trump also showed the difference between him and Joe Biden. He didn’t stumble over his words or get any facts wrong or forget what he was talking about or accidentally call it the Pence-Trump administration. It became very obvious who the cognitively degenerative candidate is.
Catch all of President Trump’s best moments (despite ABC News’ best efforts to make him look bad) in the reel below. As a bonus enjoy the montage at the end that perfectly illustrates the difference between Trump and Biden.
