“If I become president, I will end the war in Ukraine within 24 hours”… Sexual assault denial, swear words, etc.
It was an hour that showed that Trump had not changed at all. Former US President Donald Trump (pictured) defended the Capitol violence that crashed American democracy following denying once more the defeat of the 2020 presidential election at a town hall meeting hosted by CNN in New Hampshire on the 10th (local time). . He completely denied the allegation of sexual harassment, for which he was ordered to pay compensation from the court the day before, and did not hesitate to make personal attacks that disparaged the other party.
Former President Trump immediately replied, “It was a rigged election,” when CNN anchor Caitlan Collins, who was in charge of hosting, asked whether he would accept the results of the 2020 presidential election. Even when asked if he would accept the results of the 2024 presidential election if he became a Republican presidential candidate, he attached the proviso, “If you think it is an honest election.” On January 6, 2021, he announced that he would pardon the instigators of the capitol invasion. “They were there with love in their hearts. It was an incredibly beautiful day,” he said.
Regarding the loss the day before in a civil lawsuit filed by columnist E Jean Carroll (79) regarding sexual assault 27 years ago, he repeated his previous argument, “I don’t know that woman.” At the same time, she called Carol a “whack job.” She lashed out at Collins, calling him a “nasty person” when he questioned him regarding leaking classified White House documents to her home.
Former President Trump took an extreme stance even on major pending issues or gave an ‘alongside answer’. Regarding the issue of raising the federal government debt ceiling, which even raises concerns regarding default (default), he said to the Republican Party, “If President Joe Biden does not agree to large (spending) cuts, he will have to default.” When asked regarding the issue of arms support in Ukraine, he said, “If I were president, there would be no war.” He was unsure whether the federal government would sign a law banning abortion, but called the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade a “great victory.”
Whenever former President Trump made a false claim, Collins actively intervened to correct it, but former President Trump continued to lie regardless.
It has been seven years since former President Trump appeared on CNN in 2016 when he was a presidential candidate. Former President Trump attacked CNN as ‘fake news’ during his tenure, and took retaliatory measures such as suspending reporters from the White House, including anchor Collins, for asking uncomfortable questions. It seems that his appearance on the mound was due to a calculation to maximize his argument by utilizing his live broadcast. It is also interpreted that he is gradually increasing his contact with the established media in order to differentiate himself from Florida Governor Ron Disantis, an in-party competitor who mainly contacts conservative YouTubers.
Controversy is also raised over CNN, which laid the ‘plate’ of live talk during prime time for former President Trump, who was controversial with habitual lies and verbal abuse. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democratic congresswoman, criticized CNN, saying, “CNN should be ashamed of itself.”
