On a range of topics, Trump alternated between telling outright lies and throwing tantrums because he didnt like the questions.
In the opening moments of the town hall, Trump seemed to suggest that he may have shown up at the first presidential debate without getting tested for COVID-19. This despite the fact that each of the candidates were required to be tested before the event.
When Savannah Guthrie questioned the president about his refusal to embrace masks, Trump immediately started spewing lies and suggested that maybe face coverings arent that effective.
When Guthrie pointed out that America leads the world in the number of COVID-19 deaths, Trump threw a tantrum and started rambling about the virus in other countries.
Trump called the U.S. death toll, which now stands at over 220,000, a winner.

Agree completely, based on what little I've seen and heard about the Trump town hall.

(11,631 posts)2. Joe Biden was the best I have ever seen him tonight
I flipped back and forth at commercials and the contrast was unbelievably striking when the two men had an opportunity to answer questions at length much more so than even a side by side debate. Career public servant with expansive knowledge of many issues and an obvious deeply caring affect vs... well a guy covering up for a small dick ... or something I don't know... just a ridiculous small person.

to hear complete and thoughtful answers. Joe was so good to listen too. I felt very comfortable listening to him.
Calm vs. Delusional. I'll take calm.
