Once a die-hard Trump supporter, always a die-hard Trumper was proven true when the former president attended a town hall on Thursday night with Fox News.
Fox News host Sean Hannity was booed by the crowd when he asked Trump about the idea that he should maybe "tone it down" when appealing to moderate voters.
Before Hannity could even finish his question, the boos erupted from the crowd. Then, shortly after, they began cheering for the former president, chanting, "We love Trump!"
In response, Hannity told the crowd to "leave me alone" as the crowd's disapproval of his question grew louder.
The host then claimed his question was advice to Trump on who can help him win swing voters needed for the 2024 candidate to get over the finish line.
However, Trump dismissed the idea, saying that from the day he walked into Washington, he was under attack, and if the former president weren't strong and didn't hit back, he would be nothing.
"From the day I got in, I was under siege by people that had been in Washington for many years, put in there by many different presidents, in most cases people that were against me," Trump began. "They spied on my campaign. They did all sorts of things. So I was under investigation and under siege, and so were my people, and if I weren't tough, I wouldn't be here right now. I guarantee you that. If I didn't fight back, I wouldn't be here."
Trump's appearance on the Right-leaning network comes after Fox News mogul Rupert Murdoch reportedly hosted GOP presidential candidate Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-Fla.) at his California ranch, promising to support Trump's top 2024 rival fully.

No. That’s what Town Hall is doing. Pounce journalism to get clicks.

“Adding to his reputation as a dog, he is said to have defecated in the theater and urinated on people who insulted him. In one tale, Diogenes was invited to a rich man’s party, but his behavior attracted the anger of one of the guests who began to call him a dog and throwing bones at him. Diogenes walked up to him, lifted his robe, and peed on him. Once, when invited into a man’s home and told not to spit on the floor, he cleared his throat and spit in the man’s face. Another time, when the Athenians had outlawed masturbation, he stood in the marketplace masturbating, calling on all honest men to join him. When asked later about this, he said that he wished it were just as easy to cure hunger by rubbing one’s empty stomach. This technique, like his walks with the lamp, failed to find an honest man in broad daylight.”

“Nonsense. Trump has criticized all of those people. “
Hannity not Trump
Okay, thanks for the clarification.
Worse than that; he’s boring.
I used to email Vannity every night, years ago, to tell him to STHU now and again. It was so irritating listening to 2/3 of every sentence uttered by his guests. It never seemed to make a difference, but made me feel better. I stopped watching Hannitus Interruptus years ago as well. He’s not bright at all - just a bunch of rehearsed lines....no quick comeback at all.
He has attacked Romney and McConnell
Only problem is, what Rush said was this:
“I’m doing show prep for the rest of the media”
not Hannity. The media.
Hate Hannity all you want — but get the facts straight in your quest to hate
I did not say he said Hannity. I said “all of the others”. It is my assumption, then and now, that he was primarily referring to Hannity... Next nit pick...
Hannity sold out years ago.
“I think a simpler explanation might be in order. Hannity is just stupid, very stupid.”
Yeah, Hannity a dim bulb. But a lot of TV viewers want that. They can’t handle someone who makes them think. Or they just want some babbling for background sounds. My 90 year old father loved Hannity before he passed years ago. He could never really explain why.
