Former President Donald Trump’s fans in a Fox News audience made it clear: They like his toughness—and they miss the ways his policies benefited America and the world during his presidency.

The June 1 town hall-style forum in Clive, Iowa, began and ended with cheers and standing ovations from the crowd, which applauded and whistled when host Sean Hannity said he assumed that almost everyone there would be voting for Trump to become the Republican party’s nominee for president.

Hannity told Trump that he often hears people ask why Trump has to call people names and behave so brashly. They wonder why he doesn’t “tone it down”, Hannity said.

Trump responded: “I won an election. It was unprecedented … and from the day I got in [office], I was under siege … If I wasn’t tough, I wouldn’t be here right now.” That answer drew one of the most sustained cheers of the hourlong event.

Hannity said the “massive, incredible, enthusiastic” audience came out in “rain, thunder and lightning” for the chance to hear Trump speak in person and possibly ask him a question. During the live town hall, only two audience members were able to ask questions. But Hannity said another segment with more audience questions would be videotaped for later broadcast.

Trump’s appearance in a friendlier atmosphere at the more conservative Fox network contrasted sharply with the town hall that left-leaning CNN hosted three weeks ago. Although the CNN audience was filled with Republican voters who seemed mostly Trump-friendly—drawing criticism from CNN’s liberal audience—CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins frequently interrupted Trump and got into contentious exchanges with him.

Hannity said: “Unlike ‘fake news’ CNN, it’s not my job to sit here and debate the candidate. We’re going to ask him about the issues of the day that actually matter to the people.”

Here are five takeaways from Hannity’s interview and the two audience questions.

I wouldn't want him to be anything but tough, like a commie.

Putin's Pussy is tough? (http://www.aesopsretreat.com/forum/richedit/smileys/YahooIM/24.gif)

I especially like the part where Hannity asked him about the tape of him talking about taking and hiding the classified documents didn't you chuck.

he blustered and lied all around actually answering.

All the presidents take docs with them.  No big deal, cept when Trump did it.  Par for the course.  Like he said, under siege.

you surely have something more than your say so about all presidents taking classified documents with them when they leave office don't you chuck.   Can you share it?

I surely do, but it's a non-issue, cept for the corruption of the FBI and DOJ.

All the presidents, except Putin's Pussy, gave them back when asked.  Putin's Pussy said they were his and he didn't have to.  Did all the other presidents do that Commie Curtis?


He should be.  And soon he will have his treasonous fat ass Locked Up!!!


If they are corrupt, then Putin's Pussy will get off.  If they are honest, then Putin's Pussy is headed for the prison.  We will see what kind of DOJ we have.

We saw criminal CLINTON get off and stay out of jail due to corrupt Comey who outlined her crimes .

Trump stays out of jail by not committing crimes that the DemoncRats have had to make up !

President Trump speaks the truth about Democrat corruption and Democrats surprisingly enough don't like it!

Truth is to be banned under Democrats!

Trump speaks the truth and Democrats don't like the truth!

Democrats are all dogma and no truth!

Democrats don't like President Trump because he stands up to their corruption!

Democrats like their Republicans obedient!

At least you'd think trump would follow our country's laws wouldn't you think?

President Trump follows the law, unlike Bent Beijing Biden!

that's not what the courts have said zippydoodly.

Really?

Prove it!

Know you can't!

CCPWvit admits he lied!
