The crowd at the Fox News Thursday night town hall featuring President Donald Trump wasn’t having it when host Sean Hannity asked him about the idea that he should “tone it down” when appealing to moderate voters.
Boos erupted before Hannity could finish his question, causing him to ask the audience to “leave me alone.”

A separate clip from the event shows the crowd chanting its support for the president. “We love Trump!” they cried in unison, a deafening rejoinder against the idea that President Trump should be less of a pugilist when confronting his enemies in the media and on the campaign trail.
WATCH:
Answering Hannity’s question, Trump repeated stories of his campaign being “spied on” and constantly remaining “under siege” after taking office.
“If I wasn’t tough I wouldn’t be here right now, I guarantee you that. If I didn’t fight back, I wouldn’t be here… We need courage in this country or we’re going to lose our country,” said Trump.
The former president’s decision to sit down with Fox News represents a fence-mending of sorts for both sides, with President Trump looking past the network’s decision to “soft ban” him from appearances following the 2020 election while Fox seeks to capitalize on his spotlight in the face of dismal ratings.
Following the surprise firing of primetime host Tucker Carlson the network has rejiggered its lineup in an attempt to bring back conservative viewers who have soured on the network in favor of alternative conservative news sources. However, Fox remains a potent outlet for visibility among Republicans, something President Trump is counting on during the Republican primary.
Fox in August will play host to the first debate on the Republican National Committee’s calendar, a must-see event that pits the former president against Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and a slew of other declared candidates seeking to stop Trump’s ascent in the polls.
Fox News has become a microcosm of the Biden administration, both being run by incompetent, Trump-hating hacks. Fox is making as many trip-ups and taking as many falls as Biden does.
Well Piss all over Trump. He chose the wrong POS NETWORK TO GO BELLY UP ON. ESPECIALLY WHEN NEWS MAX and RAV. Has covered his dumb ass all the way. Fk it I’m voting for Kennedy.

Now do dumb asses still love Trump now that he showed you those True Colors? Down vote me and prove you got sucked in by politics…LOL suckers to the hilt.
President Trump is 100% right!
He could have been the nicest, friendliest, most easy going guy in Washington….and STILL the media would have gone after him. They HATED the fact Hillary Clinton lost and they were never going to give Trump a fair deal. No matter how much he tried.
The Trump I saw only ever attacked AFTER he was attacked first.
I give him kudos for being so strong against the unrelenting attacks for 4 years!
I watched the Town Hall with President Trump and Hanniity. The comment ‘Leave me a lone’ by Sean was a joke, it wasn’t said the way you make it sound. The ‘boo’ from the audience was in the same vein … don’t make it something that it wasn’t.
If fox wants to go down the path they are taking fine, there are options to get news and information. But leaving fox is only part of the story. Patriots, conservatives, christians and anyone who loves this country and the constitution must also stop watching ABC, NBC, CBS, the NBA, NFL, MLB, ESPN. The same goes for stop supporting Disney and Hollywood movies. Until the people who love this country do this nothing will change. I know sacrifices are hard but look where we are as a country and what the alternative outcome will be.
