President Trump was in top form during Wednesday night’s CNN Town Hall.
The night was filled with gems like these.
Trump vowed to pardon many people arrested from January 6th:

He explained how he would resolve the Russia-Ukraine conflict:
Trump Tussles With CNN Moderator on Ukraine: I'm President, I Will Have That War Settled In One Day"
CNN: "Do you want Ukraine to win this war?"
Trump: "I don't think in terms of winning and losing, I think in terms of getting it settled, so we stop killing all these people and… pic.twitter.com/6uXsU0CYG7

Trump even fact-checked CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins in real time about January 6th:

President Trump was on fire and probably ruined Collins’ career aspirations.

Whether this clip is a deep fake or real, it’s an accurate description of CNN’s town hall.
I’m told this is real… it seems real and it’s surprisingly honest and accurate for CNN… but who knows these days. #cnn pic.twitter.com/J0YCuX13Od

After the town hall, Joe Biden (or the person who runs his Twitter account) wrote this pathetic response.
“It’s simple, folks. Do you want four more years of that? If you don’t, pitch in to our campaign,” Joe Biden’s Twitter account stated.
It’s simple, folks.
Do you want four more years of that?
If you don’t, pitch in to our campaign.https://t.co/EwCflbYn22

Many people in the comments didn’t agree with Biden’s remarks.
Four more years of the strongest economy and least amount of war than any recent presidency? I’d take that over whatever this is any day.

Absolutely need 4 more years of that

Well. It’s clear to see that Trump is on the people’s side or the media wouldn’t continue pushing their lies about him. The country will be lucky to survive the rest of your term, let alone another 4 years.

The Hill reported:
His campaign later sent an email seeking to fundraise with the subject line, “So, that happened.”
“If you missed Trump’s CNN town hall, you’re better off for it. But the choice is clear: It’s four more years of Trump or four more years of Biden,” the email states.
Biden’s tweet came after more than an hour of sometimes-intense exchanges between Trump and CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins over a range of topics, including his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection and whether he would accept the results of the 2024 election.
The town hall also included applause from the audience during some of Trump’s answer, including when he disparaged author E. Jean Carroll when asked about being found liable for sexual battery and defamation against her.
Trump repeatedly voiced his false claims that voter fraud compromised the 2020 election. He also defended the phone call he made to Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger he made in which he urged Raffensperger to find the votes needed for him to win the election,
Trump also refused to say that he would accept the results of the 2024 election no matter who wins. He said he would accept the election if it was “honest.”
ADVERTISEMENT“If I think it’s an honest election, I would be honored to,” he said.
The White House press pool traveling with Biden reported that the president did not watch the town hall while on Air Force One on his way back from a trip to New York. The report indicated that televisions were tuned in to CNN on the plane’s flight to the destination earlier on Wednesday but were switched to MSNBC on the way back.
