Former President Donald Trump held a town hall in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, on Sunday (October 20), where he spent about 90 minutes answering questions from the audience. The event, held at the Lancaster County Convention Center, was moderated by former ESPN anchor Sage Steele and drew thousands of attendees.

During the town hall, Trump discussed a range of topics, including the economy, immigration, and fracking. He promised to make the economy "much better" and suggested specific ideas such as making overtime pay tax-exempt and car loan interest tax-deductible. On the topic of immigration, Trump suggested he would use local law enforcement to facilitate a mass deportation scheme and that he could act unilaterally to close the southern border without Congressional action. He also promised to increase fracking in the state, using the slogan "Drill, baby, drill. Frack, baby, frack," according to The Guardian.

Trump's town hall in Lancaster was part of a busy weekend of campaign stops in Pennsylvania. Earlier in the day, he visited a McDonald's franchise in the state, where he wore an apron and handed out orders to customers waiting in the drive-thru lane. He also answered questions from reporters while manning the fryer. After the town hall, Trump traveled to Pittsburgh to attend a Steelers game.
