Trump world booked CNN hoping for a big audience. What Do You Think?

https://www.politico.com/news/2023/05/10/trump-world-cnn-carroll-verdict-00096099

Trump world booked CNN hoping for a big audience. Now, they’re in the thick of it.

'Trump’s camp anticipates that Tuesday’s verdict, which found him liable for sexually abusing Carroll, for which she was awarded $5 million in damages, will come up. But they also see the CNN town hall as an opportunity to reach a major national audience, according to a person familiar with their thinking. And they also see political opportunity ahead. The Trump campaign is expected to fundraise off the Carroll decision, that person said.'

A Little Poll About Tonight's sure to be infamous Townhall.

I can't imagine this will go well for Trump.

Great timing on the part of CNN, even if it is inadvertent.

They have been conditioned to think that CNN is the most evil of the liberal media. Now they are expected to abandon their beliefs and risk being brainwashed. It has to flop.

He's a clown show. He will rant, he will rave. He will get CNN ratings, but at what cost. And late night shows are all crippled to even use this event as fodder.
