CNN abruptly interrupted
their broadcast for some shocking news regarding American President Donald Trump's
latest escapade, but anchor Erin Burnett was quick to condemn his
actions, bluntly stating: "It's wrong".
Burnett delved into details
about Trump’s journey to Saudi Arabia for an international visit, during which
he is scheduled to rendezvous with officials who apparently bestowed upon him a
whopping $400 million aircraft, charmingly christened “The Palace in the Sky”.
It comes just days after a CNN commentator tore into Trump over another "crazy,
dangerous" suggestion. Embracing this lavish gift, Trump remarked
that it was a "great gesture from Qatar" expressing his deep
gratitude. He justified accepting this opulent present by saying: "I would
never be one to turn down that kind of an offer." Trump added: "I
mean, I could be the stupid person and say 'no, we don't want a free, very
expensive airplane'. But I thought it was a great gesture."
Nonetheless, Burnett on CNN
assailed the act as blatantly inappropriate, likening it to the "modern
definition of a Trojan horse." Erin underscored the fact that the Qataris
had previously awarded the same model of aircraft in 2018 to the President of
Turkey.
Lambasting Trump's choice to
take the plane, the news anchor declared: "Let's be honest here, the
President of the United States has no business accepting a plane for anything
and from anyone. It is not political."
She went on to argue that this
situation was evidently black-and-white, concluding boldly: "Because this
is something that is actually an easy call. It's wrong. But Trump's team will
circle the wagons, it seems, on pretty much anything."
The broadcast then shifted to
the White House press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who was questioned about
whether Qatar would "want something in return" for the jet. Her
response was: "Absolutely not, because they know President Trump and they
know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind."
Returning to the CNN studio,
Erin launched another critique, sarcastically stating: "Well, that defense
is not flying, even with some of Trump's staunch supporters." She posed
the question: "So who is going to look into this? Who is going to tell
Trump in his inner circle that this is wrong and stand up on this one?"
As for President Trump's visit
itself, he pledged to lift all sanctions against Syria, saying it was now time
for the country to move forward with "a chance at greatness"…
