I asked our AI overlords to predict the opening dialog of the upcoming CNN town hall tonight with Donald Trump. Here is what they came up with:

“Donald Trump is doing a live town hall on CNN tonight with host Kaitlan Collins. I imagine this is going to be amusing to watch. Let’s try and predict the twists and turns the conversation will take. Write me the opening few minutes of the town hall between Trump and the moderator.”

Kaitlyn Collins: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to this special live edition of CNN's Town Hall. I'm Kaitlyn Collins, and tonight, we have a very special guest: the 45th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump, thank you for joining us tonight.
Donald Trump: Thank you, Kaitlyn. It's great to be here. I love live television, it's fantastic, isn't it?
Kaitlyn Collins: It certainly can be. So, Mr. Trump, let's dive right in. Many people are curious about your recent activities and plans for the future. Can you give us a glimpse into what you've been working on lately?
Donald Trump: Absolutely, Kaitlyn. I've been very, very busy, you know. I've been working on some tremendous projects, including my new social media platform, Trumpet. It's going to be the biggest and the best, believe me. People are tired of the fake news and the censorship, and they want a place where they can speak freely.
Kaitlyn Collins: Yes, speaking of Trumpet, there have been concerns about the potential spread of misinformation and hate speech on the platform. How do you plan to address these issues?
Donald Trump: Well, Kaitlyn, let me tell you, we're going to have the best people working on it. We'll have strong policies in place to ensure that we maintain a healthy environment for free speech, but we won't be silencing people like some other platforms do.
Kaitlyn Collins: Okay, let's move on to another topic. There's been a lot of speculation about whether or not you plan to run for president again in 2024. Can you give us any insight into your decision-making process?
Donald Trump: Well, Kaitlyn, I can tell you that I'm seriously considering it. I haven't made a final decision yet, but we'll see. The country needs strong leadership, and I've proven that I can deliver. We had the best economy, the lowest unemployment rates, and I'm very proud of what we accomplished during my term.
Kaitlyn Collins: Yes, about your term, many people argue that the COVID-19 pandemic was not handled effectively by your administration. What are your thoughts on that, and what would you do differently if you were in office now?
Donald Trump: Kaitlyn, I've always said that we did a fantastic job with the pandemic. We developed vaccines in record time, and we started the distribution process. Of course, there's always room for improvement, but I think we did a great job under very difficult circumstances. As for now, I would focus on reopening the economy and getting people back to work. We need to move forward and not be held back by fear.
Kaitlyn Collins: Alright, let's take our first question from the audience. We have Sarah from Ohio, who has a question about the border. Sarah, go ahead.
Sarah: Thank you, Kaitlyn. Mr. Trump, during your presidency, you made securing the border a top priority. Do you believe the current administration has done enough to address the ongoing immigration crisis, and what would you do differently?
[The town hall continues with a back-and-forth discussion on various topics, as both Trump and Collins engage in a lively and sometimes contentious conversation.]
“I should get you up to speed on a few things before we did this. Donald Trump has announced that he is running for president in 2024. Also, the year is 2023 currently, and yesterday Trump was just found guilty of sexual assault and fined $5 million. Also, last month he was indicted on charges of fraud for falsifying business records. I’m sure this will be hot-button topics.”

Kaitlyn Collins: Good evening, everyone, and welcome to this special live edition of CNN's Town Hall. I'm Kaitlyn Collins, and tonight, we have a very special guest: the 45th President of the United States and 2024 presidential candidate, Donald J. Trump. Mr. Trump, thank you for joining us tonight, especially given the recent events.
Donald Trump: Thank you, Kaitlyn. I'm always happy to be on live television, and I'm not afraid to face the tough questions. Let's get started, shall we?
Kaitlyn Collins: Indeed, let's. Yesterday, you were found guilty of sexual assault and fined $5 million. How do you think this will affect your 2024 presidential campaign, and do you have any comments on the verdict?
Donald Trump: Well, Kaitlyn, let me tell you, it's all just a witch hunt, okay? I've been saying it from the beginning. I'm not worried about it affecting my campaign because the American people know the truth, and they're tired of these baseless attacks on me.
Kaitlyn Collins: Moving on, last month, you were indicted on charges of fraud for falsifying business records. How do you plan to address these allegations, and do you think it will have any impact on your credibility as a presidential candidate?
Donald Trump: Kaitlyn, it's just more fake news. I've been a very successful businessman, and I built a tremendous empire. These charges are just another desperate attempt to take me down, but they won't succeed. The American people are smarter than that, and they'll see through it.
Kaitlyn Collins: Alright, let's discuss your 2024 presidential campaign. What do you plan to focus on during your campaign, and how do you expect to differentiate yourself from your potential opponents?
Donald Trump: Well, first of all, there's no one like me, Kaitlyn. I've already proven that I can make America great again, and now it's time to make America even greater. We'll focus on the economy, bringing back jobs, and securing our borders. We'll also take care of our veterans, and ensure that we have the strongest military in the world.
Kaitlyn Collins: Many people argue that the COVID-19 pandemic was not handled effectively by your administration. What are your thoughts on that, and what would you do differently if you were in office now?
Donald Trump: Kaitlyn, we did a fantastic job with the pandemic. People forget about the vaccines that we developed in record time. As for now, I would focus on reopening the economy and getting people back to work. We need to move forward and not be held back by fear.
Kaitlyn Collins: Let's take our first question from the audience. We have Sarah from Ohio, who has a question about the border. Sarah, go ahead.

[The town hall continues with a back-and-forth discussion on various topics, as both Trump and Collins engage in a lively and sometimes contentious conversation, with Trump displaying his characteristic brashness.]
