Trump To Take Part In An NBC News Town Hall | Morning Joe | MSNBC

    1. Trump is desperate. He’s filing his seventh bankruptcy now, has always been unable to focus and ignored the financial experts even with warnings. He never keeps his promises. His credit has been extended but of course not in America. What are those countries? Trump has been given every opportunity but has failed in his own businesses. There are too many conflicts of interest. Once he’s out of office, his world will come tumbling down and probably take some of his family with him. He’s not capable of leading America as evidenced by his false information, not even listening to the experts, a total failure to handle the global pandemic. Do your homework before voting. I just believe we are better than this. Trump thinks herd mentality.

  1. he’s spreading misinformation and disinformation and hateThey’re brother and sister. Trumps demon children

    1. Vote this administration out. Vote for democracy.
      Bidden/Harris 2020

    1. Im Joe Biden, I’m running for Senate, wait ummm what am I running for??? Your pensions will go down the toilet, and I approve this message

    2. I am a puppet, and will increase your taxes, I’m a RACIST, I will take your pensions away, I’m sleepy Joe Biden and I approve this message

    3. How about that fake msnbc town hall with LOSER sleepy Joe… hope ya feel better when your pensions are GONE, absolute LOSERS ya are

    1. Trump is filing another bankruptcy for one of his companies. How many is this that he has filed bankruptcy for? How can he possibly lead America? We have more cases and more deaths than any other country from Covid because of the lack of leadership. Vote this narcissistic liar out!

    2. @sir robert How many wives has the sexual deviant in the WH cheated on? How many women have accused him of sexual assault? How many times has he publicly hit on his own daughter? Why do you think it’s smart to go there when you have The Chosen One and his shady past to defend?

    1. @I can’t parralell park I can’t parallel park I know that there’s another debate scheduled (let’s see whether it’ll take place or not) but I was referring to the planned second debate.
      As you probably know, this second debate was planned to be this week (Thursday).
      Trump potentially being contagious (the timeline of his infection isn’t clear since he doesn’t let his doctors disclose the information when the infection likely happened) the event organizers wanted to replace the physical debate with a virtual one – a reasonable move, from public safety viewpoint and not unprecedented (JFK and Richard Nixon had a virtual debate 60 years ago!).
      Biden agreed, of course; Trump didn’t. I think he doesn’t like the prospect that the moderators can mute him if he repeats his bully approach but this is of course speculation on my part.
      Biden then scheduled a town hall instead.
      And now Trump does the same.
      So if he is willing to do a town hall, why is he not man enough to have a debate with Joe Biden? Does he need the option to talk over Biden in order to agree to a debate? It sure seems so.

    2. @Jens Raab Trump actually wanted the second debate moved to next week and have the third debate in two weeks but Biden was the one who denied it. Trump just wants it in person but there’s no reason it couldn’t be in person this week. They’re allowing him to hold a town hall in person so obviously they are all aware he’s clear to go

    3. @Bob McKindle Much about the timeline of Trumps infection is speculation because nobody knows when Trump was last tested negative for the virus. Many rightly so wonder if he really contracted the virus. Most believe if He did (and that’s a big if) it was at the Amy Barret announcement ceremony. Which was enough time for him to start spewing the virus when he was in Cleveland.

    4. @I can’t parralell park I can’t parallel park “Trump just wants it in person” – Obviously, but why if not for the reason I’ve suggested?
      “but there’s no reason it couldn’t be in person this week.” – Yes, there is a good reason, and that reason is COVID-19. The WH has been deliberately opaque about the timeline of the infection. Them saying that he is “clear to go” doesn’t make it so and people have learned one thing these past years, it’s that the WH sadly is lying all the time.
      Joe Biden is well advised not to want to risk infection. What Trump is doing is against the CDC guidelines. He should have been quarantining instead of doing joyride, rallies and in-person town halls.

    5. @Jens Raab that’s exactly why the debate should be in person, so no one can be cut off. A debate isn’t just where they get to list off their talking points, they need to call each other out on the lies because especially in Trumps case you know the media wont call joe Biden out for him. If you need to censor one of the people because he is disagreeing with you, you have bigger issues. Also, trump has been approved by doctors to host rallies and town halls so there is no reason the debate should be virtual. He has tested negative. Even the CDC said he’s fine

    1. @alban zeqiri *_Everybody knows Doctor Dolittle Democrats talk to the animals under the full moon.  Not only that, A.G. Barr discovered that it was actually Obama that sank the Titanic, not an iceberg; Joe Biden started the Korean war, invented athlete’s foot, twerking, & tornadoes; & Kamala Harris is responsible for Pauly Shore movies, bedbugs at the Trump hotels, the Macarena, & halitosis in dogs.  Nancy Pelosi is making a coat out of dalmatian puppies, & she eats live kittens for lunch…..while Hillary’s emails are destroying the rain forest._*

    2. @alban zeqiri *_Deep state Democrats want to take away our motorcycle blindfolds and prevent us from exercising our freedom. They plan to take our blindfolds and give them to illegal immigrants so we can no longer freely ride at high speed wearing our MAGA blindfolds. Are we going to sit by and allow our freedom to be taken away? Ride your motorcycle blindfolded today for Freedom !!I_*

  2. I will be waiting for Trump to go ballistic in a moment of “roid rage” when he’s asked a tough question!

    1. Trump is often prickly and will very likely lose his famous temper if asked a lot of questions about his bungling the federal government’s handling of the pandemic. Having the latest case/death tolls compared to other countries in a per capita listing on a poster to show all the viewers would drive Trump off the deep end, where he stays most of the time.

    1. @sir robert Stand back and stand by for our self-described “least racist” president to give the order to intimidate voters and commit voter fraud.

    2. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
      ― The Donald @ Larry King Live, October 1999

      “A friend of mine was in Scotland recently. He got very, very sick. They took him by ambulance and he was there for four days. He was really in trouble, and they released him and he said, ‘Where do I pay?’ And they said, ‘There’s no charge.’ Not only that, he said it was like great doctors, great care. I mean we could have a great system in this country.”

I like her.”

      “In many cases, I probably identify more as Democrat. I’ve been around a long time. And it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats than the Republicans. Now, it shouldn’t be that way. But if you go back, I mean it just seems that the economy does better under the Democrats. …we’ve had some pretty bad disaster[s] under the Republicans.”

  3. There are two ways to be Fooled. One is to Believe What isn’t True; the other is to Refuse to Believe What is True.

  4. If people are smart , no one should go. He’s still infected or he never had it. Let’s see how much we payed for his lies and the covid lie he’s using.

    1. I agree… I think he had a cold followed by a panic attack and that’s why he went to the hospital… For a panic attack

    1. @Jeff Chrapcynski – Biden is an honourable man that will be awesome for America. No longer will American president be laughed at when there is an international summit. America will not do the bidding for Russia.

    2. @Maria Paris – True. If the Town halls are at the same time Trump will use the ratings to declare that he won – Not that people are watching a clown show.

  5. 12 feet apart isn’t enough, Trump should social distance from the dark side of the moon ASAP with Space Force at Warp Speed.

    1. I Look at it this Way, At least Trump will go on all these Highly Liberal Networks while Biden is only going to Scripted Interviews

    1. “If you can’t take care of your sick in the country, forget it, it’s all over. I mean, it’s no good. So I’m very liberal when it comes to health care. I believe in universal health care. I believe in whatever it takes to make people well and better.”
