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.

not exactly a ton of diversity in the Davenport, Iowa, studio audience

i'm always saying this

it was cold today somewhere. checkmate, libs.

Trump: "They want to talk about your dishwashers & how much water you're going to have in your dishwasher, even though they don't work, & all the other things you have that were so precious & dear, & that you never really appreciated until now because they want to take them away"

Trump: "I will not rest until your family can afford a beautiful home and a brand new beautiful car of your choice."

Trump in New Hampshire claims that before he was president, VA officials could legally murder veterans and not get fired

Trump goads his crowd into booing "the fake news." The irony is that Trump's speeches these days are really only covered by fringe right-wing outlets like Right Side Broadcasting, Real America's Voice, Newsmax, etc

gee, is there any particular reason gas was so cheap three years ago? perhaps a pandemic that caused mass death and an economic calamity or something?
