2020 Fox Town Hall: on Principles & Values

Donald Trump: We have to hit back at critics; you can't turn your cheek

TRUMP: Success. But it's truly a little bit more than that, because we've had great success, and there is a division; there's no question about it. Politicians have to be able to be civil. If they're not, you have to fight back. There's so many things we could do. We've done a lot. But we could do even so much more. I really believe we're going to win this next election, and when we do, the other side is going to say, "Okay, that's it. Let's get along." I really believe that.

When they hit us, we have to hit back. I wouldn't be sitting up here if I turned my cheek. You can't turn your cheek. We get hit so hard, and we have a media that is to a large extent, it's a part of the Democrat Party. I call it "fake news." I've used that, and people are using that, I guess, all over the world right now. And that's the way it is. We have to fight back.

Donald Trump: Coronavirus: I shake anybody's hand now; I'm proud of it

TRUMP: I love the people of this country. You can't be a politician and not shake hands. They want to shake your hand. They want to say hello. They want to hug you. They want to kiss you. I don't care. You have to do that. The bottom line is, I shake anybody's hand now. I'm proud of it. They're people that I love. They're people that I want to take care of. You're hearing a lot of stuff about "Try not to shake hands." It hasn't stopped me at all. It is a little bit of a problem, but I got over it.

Amy Klobuchar: Heartland Amy: an experienced bipartisan pragmatist

While she is hardly a conservative, Ms. Klobuchar has distinguished herself in the campaign by breaking from the new liberal orthodoxy that has dominated the primary. She does not favor a "Medicare for all" health care system, preferring a more graduated approach; she has called the Green New Deal "aspirational"; and she has said the country cannot afford to fund free tuition for students at public colleges and universities. Ms. Klobuchar said she backed legal marijuana, but would leave the decision to individual states rather than endorsing federal legalization.
