NBC town hall attendee goes viral after she compliments Trump: 'You have a great smile'
'You're so handsome when you smile,' the Florida voter told the president
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}The hostile NBC town hall that President Trump attended on Thursday had a moment of levity after one of the attendees paid the president a compliment.
Paulette Dale, who was described by moderator Savannah Guthrie as a "registered Republican" who voted for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and was "leaning" towards voting for Joe Biden, had prepared to ask the president about his immigration stance, but not before she admired his smile.
"Good evening, Mr. President," Dale began. "I have to say- you have a great smile."

"He does!" Dale doubled down. "You're so handsome when you smile."

"While not a supporter of his politically, I find it tragic that we are expected to be unkind to people whose values we do not share," Dale said. "The ability to say something positive to President Trump (and sincerely mean it) and simultaneously disagree with him should not be mutually exclusive."
