The poet Robert Burns once wrote, “The best-laid schemes o’ Mice an’ Men, / Gang aft agley,” which means “the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry” in Gaelic. This pretty much sums up the CNN town hall in New Hampshire with President Trump. Just when they thought they had Trump cornered, he came out punching. The hostess of the town hall was Kaitlan Collins, who will now be hosting a prime-time show on CNN.
The scenario CNN envisioned met up with the stark reality of President Trump and the results completely overshadows what happened at the Little Big Horn. Speaking of which, do you know what Custer’s last words were? “I can’t understand it, they were fine at the dance last night.” CNN had it all planned out. They intended to embarrass Trump and he set them back on their ear. He invaded enemy territory and he took it by storm.
The audience was hand-picked by CNN, but Trump won them over and they cheered his every move. It has not been this bad for CNN since the last time they tried to take down Trump through the use of fake news. Collins was a terrible interviewer and all she tried to do was to bury Trump. She succeeded at that the same way that Biden has succeeded on the economy. Or inflation. Or diplomacy. Or anything else he has attempted to do.
There were many interesting points of the interview but I wanted to point out three parts. The audience’s reaction was something else as they loved what he had to say.
Perhaps one of the most interesting was when Collins claimed that he didn’t respond to Jan. 6 when the rioting was happening — a common Democrat lie. Trump then dropped the receipts on her, showing he’d encouraged people to be peaceful, even the day before.

Then after the rioting started he tweeted to people to stop and also gave a statement encouraging people to remain peaceful. Trump being Trump, he snuck in a plug for his site Truth Social.
As we’ve reported in the past, even before there was any violence he told the audience at his rally he expected people to act “peacefully and patriotically.”

When asked about Ukraine, he said it would never have happened under him, which I think is quite true.

Vladimir Putin saw Joe Biden’s weakness when it came to Afghanistan and Nord Stream 2 and thought he could get away with it.
Trump got massive cheers when he said he wanted to end the war.

But perhaps the response of the night was when he just came back at Kaitlan Collins and wouldn’t allow her to roll over him during the interview on the question of classified documents. When he called her out for not letting him talk, he called her a “nasty person” and the audience just loved it.

He also pointed out that while the media is fixated on him, they are ignoring the classified documents that Joe Biden had unlawfully collected even before he became president.
It’s hard to believe the attack that Trump is under from all different legal corners by the Democrats, yet he seemed to be fully focused on all the important issues he needed to be on in the interview. He cleaned CNN’s clock.
Meanwhile, CNN — who likely had hoped to trap Trump — managed to make themselves look silly.
