CNN conservative tells Donald Trump 'there's a better way'

A CNN conservative expressed confidence that Donald Trump's advisers would keep him from potentially wrecking the economy.

The former president has become even more enamored of tariffs, which he claims would cure the nation's economic problems – although virtually no mainstream economists agree – but CNN's Shermichael Singleton insisted that would be talked out of imposing policies that many studies show would reignite inflation.

'It's a joke': MSNBC's Scarborough snaps at press over Trump 'double standard' coverage

Using Vice President Kamala Harris' sit-down interview with MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle as well as a speech she gave on Wednesday as a leaping off point, "Morning Joe" co-host Joe Scarborough ripped into his colleagues in the press for harshly covering Harris while giving Donald Trump a pass.

Contrasting answers given by Harris with Trump's rambling and often off-topic comments when questioned, the MSNBC host complained that reporters have long been too lazy when it comes to their Trump coverage.

Put simply, he called reporting on Trump a "joke."

Speaking with the Washington Post's Jackie Alemany, Scarborough ranted, "What I find so striking, Jackie, is there are two standards. You've got Kamala Harris, and they're going, 'Oh, wait. What is the long-term impact of this, and why hasn't she called about the next round of qualitative easing?' While Donald Trump burps, and everyone laughs and goes, 'Oh, man, he tells it like it is.'"

"He's the beneficiary of what the Bush brothers used to call 'the soft bigotry of low expectations,"' he continued. "People don't expect anything from Donald Trump, so he gets a free pass. Then you have people going on TV shows and writing editorials going, 'Oh, my god. When is Kamala Harris going to get out and talk to America on policy issues as much as Donald Trump?' And it is laughable, it is a joke."

"There are absolutely two standards." Alemany agreed. "My reading of the speech, as well, is that it was a direct rebuttal of this caricature that Donald Trump tried to paint of Kamala Harris as this, you know, bomb-throwing, fire-brand progressive, as he's called her, 'Comrade Kamala.' She used deliberate language to describe herself as a pragmatic and centrist Democrat."

'Loose cannon' Trump has campaign insiders scrambling as election strategy tossed out

Donald Trump's third run for the presidency has gone from smooth sailing to being rudderless since his campaign was caught flatfooted when President Joe Biden stepped aside, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to change the fortunes of the Democratic Party.

According to MSNBC analyst Hayes Brown, the highly organized Trump for president campaign helmed by Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita was enjoying a honeymoon when Biden was the presumptive candidate but the entry of Harris as their man's opponent has turned him into a "loose cannon" they have no control over nor are they attempting to.
