Trump came to survey the fallout from deadly tornadoes that tore through Tennessee this week, leaving 25 dead. Before he left, he pledged to support the survivors, many of whom had lost homes, belongings and loved ones,” the Nashville Tennessean reports. Fox News’ town hall with President Trump last week was the most-watched event of its kind in history, according to Nielsen media research. “The event co-moderated by Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum averaged 4.2 million viewers from 6:30-7:30 p.m. ET. The record-setting town hall dominated cable news, topping MSNBC’s 1.4 million viewers and CNN’s 1 million viewers combined,” Brian Flood reports for Fox News.
