5 takeaways from Trump’s town hall with Sean Hannity

Former President Trump participated in a town hall hosted by Fox News’s Sean Hannity on Tuesday, a night before the fourth Republican primary debate that the GOP front-runner is once again skipping.

The former president was asked questions by only Hannity on a variety of topics, from reports that cast his second term as a dictatorship, President Biden’s age and health and Trump’s stances on foreign policy and energy issues before a friendly crowd that largely cheered Trump on when he took the stage.
