CNN Goes into Idiot Mode: Impeachment for Trump’s Helsinki Press Conference

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


I wrote last night that we were anxiously awaiting the outcome of the Trump/Putin summit. Well, the outcome’s come out.

Not everyone’s happy with Trump’s performance at a press conference, where the President seemed to believe Putin as much as U.S. intelligence with regard to Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election. Additionally, he sorta, well, was Donald Trump: he dived into stuff that’s irritated him, and he let everybody know how he felt. Whether it was the right time and place, or not.

One of today’s unhappy campers, predictably, is CNN. This was going to be the case, regardless of what happened with the summit. Trump rightfully noted that on Twitter Sunday:

Check out this video below:

It seems that congressman John Cornyn was correct: Trump is, to some degree, conflating collusion between his administration and Moscow with Russian meddling in the presidential race (please read further about that here).

CNN was ready to pounce on Trump for his strange choice of message at the conclusion of the Helsinki meeting, calling it a “truly extraordinary moment in American history,” complete with a “shocking barrage” which could require impeachment in order to be properly addressed. Wolf Blitzer marveled at the media briefing:

Wolf eventually reached this zinger:

Foreign affairs journalist Susan Glasser compared Trump and Putin to a boxing match in which Muhammed Ali faced “an amateur boxer, and in that scenario, let’s just say the President of the United States was not Mohammed Ali.”

If that’s a proper assessment, well…I wrote yesterday that Senator Cornyn warned Trump must be “clear-eyed” against Putin (here). Guess this happened:

CNN’s characterization also lends credence to Sen. Mark Warner’s warning that Putin could win (please read about that here).

On the former Clinton News Network, Obama’s Secretary of Defense, Chuck Hagel, lamented that “President Trump failed America today.”

“It’s a sad day for America,” he opined. “And the world.”

Both he and Wolf looked to former CIA Director John Brennan’s morning tweet:

And then, this happened:

“High crimes and misdemeanors?” Impeachment? That’s ridiculous. Like CNN.

But also, maybe not the best showing, Donald J.

What do you think about Trump’s statements? Did he embarrass us? Is this just part of the give-and-take of having a Commander-in-Chief that says what he thinks? Is the inevitable result of Trumpian honesty that sometimes he’s gonna beef it (as he also may have done with Theresa May, as I describe here, and as some may say he did with Merkel, covered here)?

      Apparently Trump didn’t trust his own U.S. intelligence community. Well, none of us can either.

      Over the years, you would think Trump would be able to ‘read’ people a bit better than most of us, with his business dealings and negotiations. So he, with his intuition, was able to ‘see’ Putin and ‘read’ him too. You would think.
