President Donald Trump will field questions at his first TV town hall of the 2020 election cycle Thursday in the city that helped to shape a would-be rival, former Vice President Joe Biden.

Trump’s favorite network, Fox News, is hosting the live event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, a rare instance where the president will take questions from the public.

It will be Trump’s first visit this year to Pennsylvania, a battleground state he won by about 44,000 votes in 2016. He did particularly well in northeastern Pennsylvania, where Scranton and Wilkes-Barre have long anchored a strong Democratic presence.

That’s home turf to Biden, who spent his first 10 years in Scranton before his family moved to Wilmington, Delaware.

1. The "audience" will all be plants

And ask ridiculously fawning questions.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

28. Q: Why are you the greatest president the U.S. has ever had?

Q: Why do you think God chose you to lead us through these troubled time?

Q: Why do you think the Democrat Party, Fake News and CDC are teaming up to try and destroy your beautiful presidency?

Q: How is Melania's White House tennis pavilion coming along?

2. A Fox town hall. The drool will be three inches thick

on the floor before he get asked the first "hard-hitting" question.

[Lonestarblue]

3. Trump will take questions from the public--unlikely!

The people asking questions will most likely be plants, with Trump knowing all the questions in advance so his handlers can coach him to respond with answers that might be somewhat coherent. It s after all a Fox event.

[world wide wally]

4. Now, if you want to hear some incoherent bullshit...

This is your show!

[left-of-center2012]

5. Questions for Trump

"Do blondes really have more fun?"

"Can you name your three wives?"

"Do you wear lifts in your shoes to make you look taller?"

"Name three things you do each day besides eating Big Macs, texting, and watching Fox News.
OK, just two things ?
OK, just one thing ?
Anything ?"

11. Golf. nt

[Dem2theMax]

16. Name three things drumpf does each day. I got one!

💩

[kimbutgar]

6. You know he will the questions beforehand

And if someone goes off script it will interesting to see him explode.

That said I’ll pass on watching. I’d rather clean out my cats litter box.

[Chakaconcarne]

7. This will be good...

Since he won't know the answers.... Look for the teleprompters...

[underpants]

8. Gee SIR, is it true that you're actually greater than we think you are?

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

25. Thank you for that wonderful question, Mr Underpants. To tell the truth: ...

... not only am I greater than you think I am, I am actually greater than I think I am. I am even actually greater than I actually am.

I'm sorry, you don't get a follow-up question. Next sycophant's question, please.

[stillcool]

9. that's not a town hall

that's a staged event. Another reality-ish show.

[AZ8theist]

29. You left out "shit". As in "shit show"...

[SunSeeker]

10. As if Fox will let anyone but GOP plants ask questions.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Yep! Preselcted questions.

[LymphocyteLover]

13. oh god, if only real voters could ask him questions

this sounds like it will have to be staged with pre-screen Trumpists. Too risky otherwise.

[dhill926]

14. can't wait not to watch...

[Javaman]

15. first question: even though you were aquitted by the senate, you were still found guilty

by the house. How do you square that with your belief that you are innocent.

the orange asshole: stupid question. are you a fake news plant? get that guy outta here! next!

and it will go on like that.

[Totally Tunsie]

17. Notice that this "event" is being held at 6:30 p.m.

Of course Chump has to be on against prime time news on the major networks...can't have any of those MAGAts loitering at NBC, ABC or CBS even for a moment. Their eyes MUST be on their esteemed leader at all times.

Sounds like a whole lot of blather to me.

[bucolic_frolic]

18. Everything the Trump campaign does is a demographic thing

age, ethnic, social/business affiliations

[lark]

19. The people will have been pre-picked and he will have canned answers for the ??

This is Faux, so no way will anything about the shitshow be real.

[sdfernando]

20. As like the other responses...yes, pre-selected questions from plants in the audience...

so the orange lardass will be coached and pretty much know the answers...but, because he is such a stable genius, his mind (if you want to call it that!) could get confused and answer a different question then the one asked. They also can't control his going off script. It might be fun to watch, but I can't stand listening to tangeranus voice!

[BigmanPigman]

21. I hope they lock the doors and keep him and his cult locked

in together for a few days. That would be karma. The fucking moron is a germaphobe, isn't he? Keep them in there and then deny them virus testing. See how they feel about the virus after that.

[maxrandb]

22. What an incestuous shitshow this will be

[AKing]

23. Questioners will be the same people he paid to attend his initial Presidential run announcement.

[Roy Rolling]

24. We need some questions on Twitter...

Twitter, do your thing.

[Siwsan]

26. Perhaps the audience will be instructed to ask their questions in the form of an answer

Kind of takes the 'Jeopardy' risk out of the equation.

[rurallib]

27. " I have the corona virus. May I cough on you?"

"You said it was a mild flu."

[CBHagman]

30. Hillary Rodham Clinton has ties to Scranton, too, not that Trump necessarily knows that.

Hugh Rodham, her father, was from Scranton.

31. I heard the questions were to be submitted verbally in advance....
