Trump shares fake video of Anderson Cooper reacting to CNN town hall

Former President Trump shared a doctored video clip depicting a CNN broadcast as he mocked the network over the public reaction to his town hall this week.

“That was President Donald J. Trump ripping us a new a—— here on CNN’s live presidential town hall,” anchor Anderson Cooper says on the manipulated video, which was posted to Trump’s Truth Social account Friday morning. “Thank you for watching, have a good night.”

The fake video had first been posted on Twitter by Donald Trump Jr., the former president’s eldest son, who often uses social media to mock liberals and media figures critical of his father and other conservatives.

In the immediate aftermath of Wednesday night’s town hall, members of Trump’s inner circle expressed glee to a number of media outlets at the 2024 White House hopeful’s performance, which on several occasions sparked cheers and laughter from the crowd of largely supportive prospective GOP voters.

CNN is facing widespread criticism from Democrats and media pundits who say it made a mistake in giving a forum to Trump, who used the event to promote false claims about the 2020 election, mock the woman a jury recently found he sexually abused in the late 1990s, and voice support for defendants charged with crimes in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol.

New Hampshire voters react after Trump's town hall

Former President Donald Trump's return to New Hampshire to participate in a CNN town hall created buzz for staunch supporters relishing in his dominance of the polls.

"I thought last night was a tremendous clear messaging from President Trump," said Republican real estate investor Steve Richard. "I think that audience reflected that over and over again."

Trump took questions from Republican and independent Granite State voters and repeated fraudulent claims that the 2020 election was stolen and said he would have the Russian war in Ukraine "settled within one day."

New Hampshire voters will be the first in the nation to cast primary ballots for a Republican presidential nominee early next year, yet some Trump voters appear not to be swayed by several legal issues facing the former president.

Earlier this week, Trump was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation against writer E. Jean Carroll. She was awarded $5 million in damages after a jury sided with her unanimously, but Trump called Carroll's story "fake" and "made up" on Wednesday night

June Dickerson, an independent who voted for Trump, says she believes him.

"He's a very honorable man," she said. "He always said what was on his mind. He was always honest and forthright and I don't believe lies."

Louise Hoyt, a Republican voter, said she plans to vote for Trump again
