Trump holds town hall event in Iowa

I thought he sounded more composed and presidential during this town hall than he has in quite some time. This is what he needs to do and I'm glad to see, that he's reigning it in. The personal attacks and angry outbursts, while understandable, aren't going to win anyone over.

LOL....if you think he's about to dial all that childishness, anger, and vindictiveness back.....

I've got some Trump NFT's to sell ya.

Well, he's gonna have to keep a lid on it if he wants to be President again. His anger isn't the issue. That's what won him the presidency in 2016. He took the anger that millions of Americans were feeling and directed it in all the right places.

But these days it's erratic. It makes him seem unhinged. If he can reign it in and stay focused on attacking Biden like he does in this town hall, he'll have a better chance of winning over the center-right voters that might otherwise vote for Biden or not vote at all.

I can't believe people actually bought those. Lol. I've always thought it would be funny if Trump, assuming he wins, decides to revamp American currency and call it Trump currency. It'll be his face on every bill and instead of "In GOD we trust", "In TRUMP we we trust". XD

I think he is unhinged, and is becoming more so every day.

Just another con. About a week or so ago I read a story about how Trump admires televangelists, not for their faith, but for how effective they are at conning people out of their money.

This town hall event showed otherwise. He was laser focused here.

Well, he likes money and he's not particularly modest. The difference is, I think Trump would actually own the fact that he admires them. Whereas someone like Biden would secretly admire them and never admit to such a thing. At least Trump will tell you how he really feels about it.

And honestly, it's one hell of a gig. Have you seen some of the homes these televangelists have? If you don't believe in life after death, why do you care how they got their money? What matters is the here and now because there is no after.

Brief moments of focus don't make all the times of chaos go away.

LOL....that's one of the funnier apologetics for a con man I've seen.

Again....lol. So he's open and up front about being a con man and admiring others' cons? What a great attribute for a President!

Yeah, who cares about those little old ladies who gave their last dollars to con men?

You know, there are times when sayings from liberals seem really accurate, and lately I've noticed how their saying about modern conservatism ("the cruelty is the point") is shockingly so.

True. But I'll take what I can get with Trump.

It's better than lying about it. Most of these politicians are professional liars.

Why do you care?

Not like Donald. That's like comparing a jaywalker with a serial killer and saying "they're both criminals".

Why do you care?

Um....really? Because I don't want to live in a society where lying to people to con them out of their money is legal.

Why wouldn't you care?

"Not like Donald" was kind of my point.

Should televangelism be made illegal then? If so, on what grounds?

Why wouldn't you care?

Because it's their money. I don't feel I have the right to tell them how to spend it.

Of course not. Merely preaching on TV isn't a crime; scamming people out of their money is.

Because it's their money. I don't feel I have the right to tell them how to spend it.

So you don't believe fraud and scams should be illegal?
