...until morale improves.Trump is tweeting Fox News clips during his ABC town hall, if that gives you an indication of how it thinks it went https://t.co/mRyqZ7klnK— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 16, 2020
Wait, I thought we were “doing very well.”TRUMP: If you look under Obama and Biden, the income inequality was phenomenal— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 16, 2020
STEPHANOPOULOS:: It's getting worse now
TRUMP: Well, we're talking about a plague coming in pic.twitter.com/B94G0CoR77
Oh, that’s better, then. Now take the fight to Biden:"It's going to disappear" -- Trump is still absurdly insisting that the coronavirus will disappear on its own pic.twitter.com/YZq1JhOVbC— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) September 16, 2020
Trump is criticizing Biden, who isn't president, for not finding a way to implement a national mask mandate, on ABC Town Hall.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) September 16, 2020
we are seven weeks out from the election and Trump has no real message for the majority of Americans who think he has mishandled the pandemic https://t.co/cOhBpLLoHS— Alex Burns (@alexburnsNYT) September 16, 2020
So fuck ‘em. The don’t vote for me anyway.”STEPHANOPOULOS: Why do you keep talking about Democrat states, Democrat states?— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 16, 2020
TRUMP: They are.
STEPHANOPOULOS: They're American states, American states.
TRUMP: No The Democrat-run states are the ones that are doing badly, George.
Trump, by only doing rallies and almost never doing town hall forums, has been insulated from the kind of voter interactions that usually help incumbents as they're running. But he craves adulation and many of his aides enable it, so this town hall is bracing for him.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) September 16, 2020
Trump won’t even remember this guy spoke to him."QUESTION: And should preexisting conditions -- which ObamaCare brought into -- brought to fruition be removed --— Zeke Miller (@ZekeJMiller) September 16, 2020
TRUMP: No.
QUESTION: Please stop and let me finish my question, sir.
Should that be removed, within a 36 to 72-hour period, without my medication, I will be dead."
No, it never got any better.No words #TrumpTownHall https://t.co/zXa24LR8gf— Red (@Redpainter1) September 16, 2020
Trump to the woman who explained how her mom died of cancer: "Did YOU have Covid? You didn't have it, right? You didn't have it? Your mother. Uh, we’ll have it taken care of. It's going to get taken care of. The vaccines are gonna make a big difference."— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) September 16, 2020
This is the key point. Everyone on Twitter is mocking Trump's misstatement ("herd mentality" v "herd immunity"). That's a goof.— Ronald Klain (@RonaldKlain) September 16, 2020
But if Trump's strategy is to simply let the virus "run its course," that could mean 2m deaths in the next 12 months. That's the real headline. https://t.co/RxeTWUMDfl
The debates are clearly where Trump wins this campaign.To be clear: I am not currently president. But if you chip in now, we can change that in November: https://t.co/eFS4tDfHEx https://t.co/ciqFcIGLHB— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) September 16, 2020
I would wish for more of this, except I weep for my country.The one back and forth that was the kind of voter engagement campaigns seek for candidates - the exchange between Trump and a woman in tears about her sick mother - was the woman saying her mother had cancer and Trump instead talked about COVID.— Maggie Haberman (@maggieNYT) September 16, 2020
Seriously, Trump could’ve done just as well in this #Pennsylvania town hall meeting by just coming out, standing there, turning to the people in the room and saying “go f*** yourselves“ and then leaving.
