important context about this event πŸ‘‡

WOW! Hannity starts the town hall with a blistering question

Reminder that Hannity for nearly a decade now has been the master of interviewing Trump and rarely managing to make news. That's because he asks him nothing but softballs. archive.thinkprogress.org/how-sean-hanni…

Trump suggests he'll get 150 million votes in 2024

Hannity asks Trump if he has plans to become a dictator. Notably, Trump immediately changes the topic and doesn't answer the question.

Trump: "The only global warming we should be thinking about and worrying about because it could happen tomorrow is nuclear global warming."

Hannity asks Trump for a second time if he has plans to abuse power. Trump admits he plans to do some dictatorial things on "day one" of his second term.

nailed it

Hannity tries to ask Trump about the national debt (which ballooned under Trump's watch). Trump immediately changes the topic to bloviating about "the China virus" and energy.
