Trump Dismisses Critics of His Appearance on CNN Town Hall

Former President Donald Trump on May 11 dismissed criticism over his appearance on the CNN town hall.

“People are criticizing CNN for giving me a Forum to tell the TRUTH. I believe it was a very smart thing that they did, with Sky High Ratings that they haven’t seen in a very long time. It was by far the biggest Show of the night, the week, and the month!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social account on Thursday.

CNN’s town hall with Trump drew more than 3 million viewers Wednesday night, far more than the cable network usually draws on a weeknight. That figure included some 703,000 viewers in the 25 to 54 age demographic, according to Nielsen data.

Trump’s town hall, held at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire, marked the former president’s first appearance on CNN since 2016.

It also marked Trump’s first major TV event for his 2024 presidential campaign.
