In a stunning display of political dodging, former President Donald Trump has set a new record for not directly answering a single question during a CNN town hall hosted by Kaitlan Collins.
Despite repeated attempts by Collins to elicit a direct response from the former president, Trump managed to evade every question with his signature style of rambling, off-topic tangents and self-promotion.
When asked about his thoughts on the ongoing Ukraine-Russia conflict, Trump launched into a lengthy diatribe about his foreign policy achievements during his time in office, but failed to address the question of how he would handle the current crisis.
Similarly, when asked about his plans for addressing the ongoing border crises, Trump deftly sidestepped the question by touting his administration’s efforts to secure the border during his presidency and blaming the current situation on his successor’s policies.
Even audience members were not immune to Trump’s evasive tactics. When one woman asked about his controversial remarks on immigration, Trump shifted the conversation to his record on job creation, completely ignoring the substance of the question.
Despite the lack of direct answers, Trump seemed pleased with the town hall, posting to social media afterwards that he had “totally nailed it” and that his performance was “tremendous” and “unbelievable” and Kaitlan Collins is a “nasty woman”.
Meanwhile, Collins and CNN were left to pick up the pieces and try to decipher what, if anything, the former president had actually said during the event.
