Fox News anchor Bret Baier worked hard to convince former President Trump to participate in a town hall in Iowa, slated to take place Wednesday and compete directly with the fifth Republican primary debate on CNN.

“It’s not easy,” Baier told the New York Times this week about his efforts to encourage the former president to sit for “tough but fair” questions in a live setting.

“This is getting to the playoffs,” Baier said. “This is a time when voters need to see him live, in person, when it happens.”

I don’t doubt it......fox and the POS that is paul Ryan are no friend of DJT.....on the contrary actually

[eyeamok]

I think this is a mistake, I see no benefit for Trump

[kenmcg]

big mistake by DJT. Expect gotcha quwstions. Brett Baier is a fake news scumbag.

[MayflowerMadam]

If Trump agrees to anything involving Brett Baier and/or Different News, I just don’t know what to say. That would be idiotic. Hadn’t he learned ANYTHING?

“This is getting to the playoffs,” Baier said. “This is a time when voters need to see him live, in person, when it happens.”

Trump gives live, in-person speeches to overflow crowds on a daily basis.

[Cobra64]

Agreed. It’s a trap. Bret Baier hates Trump.

[Captainpaintball]

Brett bore couldn’t coax me to do ANYTHING

[cnsmom]

Paul Ryan is a bug he is a very very small useless human. His blackmail game has been drained and is prehistoric now. Going forward it is all fake.

[AAABEST]

Baier is a floating swamp-turd who made millions overseing the downfall of Faux News and participated greatly to The Steal.

Yet Trump continues to kiss the qhisling’s ass... like he kisses ALL Quisling ass. McCarthy, Rona, Graham, Baier, Newsome etc. etc.

They just need to pretend to like him for a bit... and they’ll be fkn us all over again in no time.

[McGruff]

I don't like Bret Baier. He's thinks he's a big deal when he's not.

[RoseofTexas]

Yep! Can you say SETUP by the scumbag mediapukes! Trump should have instead gone to Brooklyn New York, where the blacks are begging him to come and have a Townhall meeting with them ! What is so difficult about that? Sometimes the Republicans are so damn stupid. They don’t recognize a gift staring them between the eyeballs! The rats are notorious for turning a little event into a big advantage.

An election to determine the fate of a nation. But to a s***-for-brains “journalist” it’s a “playoff”.

[Fido969]

After what Chris Wallace (and Biden) got away with, Trump is smart to assume they will do everything they can to shaft him.

[Fido969]

This is a time when voters need to see him live, in person,

We know Trump, and we've seen him live, in person. Baier is a putz.

[going hot]

Trump is not afraid of stepping into the arena. Should be interesting to watch.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Not many Americans want to be seen on FNC these days. Guests appear to be mainly just far-left analists with phony “doctors’s degrees from our plagiarism-plagued “colleges” and “universities”.

[Iron Munro]

Bret’s backstabbing knives still have Trump blood on them.

[AndyJackson]

This is a time when voters need to see him live, in person, when it happens.

Uh, anybody here not seen as much of Trump as we need to see already. Appearing on Faux is like making sure everyone gets to view the world through feces colored glasses. Try to pull out a win for cowering coward Niki.

Will Baer bring tarot cards?
