Widespread coverage by Iranian news outlets and reactions across social media platforms to the town hall TV appearances of the US presidential candidates served as yet another indication that from an Iranian perspective, the November vote is much more than a foreign country’s domestic affair.
Media outlets commented extensively on the incumbent US president’s manner in his exchanges. “Trump, who is known as the violator of all rules, repeatedly ignored and interrupted the host,” according to moderate news agency Khabar Online, which also described the town hall debate as a “predicament” the US president “did not see coming.”
