Trump looked tired when he strolled onto the New Hampshire stage for CNN’s town hall on Wednesday, visibly wearing every one of his 76 years. And save for the final minutes of the town hall, Collins ended up looking helpless in the face of the former president’s performance—exactly as he and his camp wanted it. Any one of CNN’s rival networks would likely have jumped at the opportunity to air the town hall. This town hall will consume people’s attention until we move on to the next garish spectacle. Time and again, journalists say they just don’t know how to cover Trump, that he is impossible to cover.
