President Trump absolutely killed it at that town hall from start to finish. Considering it was apparently pre-taped, I'm almost surprised ABC didn't edit it since it ended up making Trump look really good. Granted, maybe they're counting on the ability to edit Biden's town hall to try to make him look better (and they hope that's enough to "outdo" Trump's performance at last night's town hall), but that's going to be really tough for the editors to pull off...
The part where the lady is asking a question about if he’s taking away coverage for preexisting conditions and he just simply interjects “No” while she’s seemingly near the end of her question and she rudely tells the President to stop interrupting her pissed me off, extremely disrespectful. Plus his answer is great, ACA is currently covering all that PLUS he got rid of the individual mandate so people like me aren’t paying $680/month for individual catastrophe coverage with no co-pay and $5000 deductible (that’s what I had to pay in 2018). Now private non-ACA plan is $1k $35 copay and only costs me $250/month with dental added and I don’t have to pay a 1% or whatever tax penalty at the end of the tax year. Its hard to make network tv viewers understand in a quick answer but I wish he’d play up the time Obama told a lady who’s mom didn’t want to die that she should just take some pills and enjoy her last days. Still a great answer, considering how hostile of an environment it was getting attacked from all angles. he points out right to try among other things.
I'm watching the whole thing now. I honestly don't know how he got through the whole thing without turning to George and telling him to shut up.
