A Few Thoughts about the CNN townhall with Trump
American Thinker ^ | 11 May, 2023 | Patricia McCarthy

Posted on 05/11/2023 5:28:38 AM PDT by MtnClimber

Few of his supporters were surprised to learn that Trump was going to do a sit-down in New Hampshire for CNN. The man does not shy away from potential political disasters; he thrives on them, runs straight at them, unafraid.

Why? Because he always comes out of these things having won bigly. Not only is he quick thinking and knowledgeable when it comes to the facts on all the relevant issues, he is gloriously entertaining, verbally and visually. His facial expressions and gestures say as much he does with words.

The CNN sit-down Wednesday night was no exception. Host Kaitlan Colllins clearly thought she would have the upper hand. Coming from the bubble of leftist propaganda that is CNN’s principal reason for being, of course she believed she would be the hero of the event. But she got her comeuppance within the first few minutes. She acted the fool and Trump does not suffer fools, he eviscerates them with a smile on his face.

He certainly got the better of Kaitlan Collins despite her rude, smug arrogance. She set a new record for dismissive interviews. She forgot that Trump has had years and years of experience with boorish and ignorant pretend journalists who hate, loathe and despise him. She clearly has no experience with an outlier with so many IQ points on her.

With each question she aimed to embarrass him, to humiliate him. But she had no actual facts, not when it came to protecting schools, the Second Amendment, the documents stored at Mar-A-Lago, the event of January 6, 2021, the border wall, school shootings (she exaggerated wildly), etc.

It was clearly supposed to be a hit job on Trump.

Trump gets very little face time on FOX. Now, others stations can get the upper-hand and outdo FOX. If FOX keeps it up, they’re going to lose a lot more viewers than they did when Tucker was “fired”.

“….Because he always comes out of these things having won bigly.”

“Bigly”? What kind of a word is that?

It’s a legitimate word but not one that’s used very often. Trump caught a lot of ridicule for using it.

Liberal heads exploding over this tells me all I need to know. I don’t even have to watch it.

You must have been in a coma for the last ten years. Bigly.

Trump is also an entertainer and TV personality. Have to go through a lot of training in order to be successful at it and Trump doesn’t disappoint. People also forget he has a degree from Wharton which is one of the best business schools in the world.

What people also forget is owning hotels globally and being a successful project manager requires knowledge of global events as well as local events going on in the areas where Trump builds. Meaning, intelligence is something Trump is extremely familiar with.

For the people that call him a moron, or worse, they have no clue how smart this man actually is. He ran America like a corporation and did a very good job at it. He thinks outside the box and provides clear solutions to solving complex problems.

It’s in the dictionary, you should try reading one instead of listening to MSNBC who made fun of Trump for using it rather than checking the dictionary. He won bigly....again.

I guess you’ve been asleep for the past SEVEN years ++ ??

It’s a word Trump used, often, during the 2015-2017 campaign (and, long before), that became a YUGE part of the campaign lexicon, here on FR, and, elsewhere.

Welcome to FR.

“Bigly”? IT is a Trumpian word, oaf. Your smug derision compliments the silly and shrill Kaitlan Collins who will not recover from the pounding she received from our beloved warrior.

Very good and correct analysis. Kaitlan Collins got buried. Her friends might tell her she was great, but AOC observed this correctly as well.....

It looks like the chair they provided is very uncomfortable. I’m sure that was no accident.
