At the first broadcast town hall of the US presidential election in 2024 on Wednesday, an unrepentant Donald Trump remained steadfast in his resentments, making it abundantly plain that he has little intention of running a better organized campaign for his third run for the White House.
In a controversial 70-minute interview, Trump mocked writer E. Jean Carroll's claims that he had sexually assaulted her, repeated lies about his 2020 election loss, declared he would pardon many of his supporters found guilty of participating in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol, and referred to his CNN moderator Kaitlan Collins as a "nasty person," drawing laughter from the audience in New Hampshire.
Trump made no attempt to present more moderate viewpoints on topics in his responses to Collins' and the audience's questions at Saint Anselm College, which political observers think is essential to increasing his appeal to a larger segment of Republicans.
Trump was found guilty to have sexually assaulted Carroll in a Manhattan department store dressing room in the 1990s by a federal jury on Tuesday. Trump later degraded Carroll's character by calling her charges "a hoax" and "a lie."
After Tuesday’s verdict, Carroll issued a statement saying: “Today, the world finally knows the truth ... This victory is not just for me but for every woman who has suffered because she was not believed.”
