Trump mocks NBC, and calls his Town Hall a free 1hr of TV...

[HipChick]

President Trump on Thursday tore into NBC hours before appearing on the network for a town hall forum, preemptively complaining that he would be treated unfairly.

The president indicated he didn't mind agreeing to do the town hall because it amounted to "a free hour on television." But he previewed the event during a rally in North Carolina by swiping at moderator Savannah Guthrie and other network anchors.

"So you know, I’m being set up tonight, right. I’m doing this town hall with Con-cast," Trump said, mocking the name of NBC's parent company. "So I’m doing it and it’s NBC. The worst."

1. sounds to me like he knows

he's going to crash and burn and is just setting his excuse up now.

[Liberal In Texas]

2. Well, it is a free hour ad for him. n/t

[jrthin]

3. NBC deserves this and more. nt

[unblock]

4. i bet he wants nbc to cancel it so he can whine about that.

nbc should cancel it anyway. it was a horrible idea in the first place.

[bdamomma]

14. I would cancel it

let his head explode, get the hook.

5. Welp.

I’m doing this town hall with Con-cast," Trump said,

Well dear, you are the Con and are being cast on NBC.

[In_The_Wind]

7. And that's the truth.

[sheshe2]

8. It is.

[doublethink]

6. Born a Grifter will always be a Grifter ...

Just doing his thing right ... grifting ... smh.

9. Thanks for reminding me I will sure and not

watch MSNBC tonight. I hope they get record low ratings.

10. Ratings

NBC couldn't care less how much Trump demeans them as long as he brings in ratings. Unfortunately a lot of people will tune in just for the train-wreck factor. Chances are Trump will say something ridiculous which will at least backfire it for him though.

11. He can't help himself, NBC begged him like a dog and he can't hide

his glee.

12. Tots and pears for NBC

You two deserve each other!

[kimbutgar]

13. Fact check him with a crawl underneath or on air.

But I won’t be watching and not giving him the ratings.

[VivaResitance]

15. I'm confused

I dont understand the point of doing a town hall where you trash the people hosting it.

He is a goddamn idiot.

[durablend]

16. Do we know the composition of the crowd?

Actual undecideds or "well, undecided but voting for you" ?

Could be interesting if he starts arguing with the audience.

[FakeNoose]

19. I doubt that Chump would do it if there were no cheering crowds

I mean, they ALL adore him, am I right?

[2naSalit]

17. I'll check out some of the replay vids...

But I'm not giving them any ratings if livestream counts. Besides, I've had quite enough of that asshole.

[Windy City Charlie]

18. He's playing the media again

There he is putting on the act about how he hates the media for his base to eat up. Simple solution for him is to not do it, but he won't. And you just know he'll say several things outlandish early on just to get people tweeting about him. While he's an awful president, but give him credit, he knows how to play the media.

[VOX]

20. He's talking shit to boost ratings. Don't fall for it.

His little ego wants bigger numbers than Joe. Don’t help him.
