Jake Tapper interviews Donald Trump about Lindsey Graham
I feel like it should be a bigger deal that the Trump administration clearly approved the Ellison takeover of WB/Discovery in part so he could manipulate the news and push CNN (more) to the right.
Parker Molloy319The continued right-wing takeover of media (traditional media, social media, etc.) is one of the most depressing things happening in the world right now. It makes affecting positive, progressive change on any issue more difficult.
Centrist Sisyphus6Many things should be a bigger deal, but the firehose of corruption and lies are truly a huge challenge to manage.
He also wants Star Trek to be made like the original series, of which he is a big fan. He hates the "DEI" versions being made today.
@debbie1562Tapper is getting tapped by Trump. What a loser.
Doug Smith2"I feel like it should be a bigger deal that the Trump administration...." is the start of a zillion posts, because those fuckers continue to get away with shit that should be absolute showstoppers and people just move on.
Christy B2The RW takeover of MSM should be the biggest story in the country & that it’s not tells you how much danger we are really in.
TAPPER: I know you don't want to talk about any other issues out of respect for Lindsey Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime bc I do have a lot of other questions TRUMP: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path T: I'm on a normal path right here, sir TRUMP: Good. You are.
Philo of Alexan485I didn’t need another reason to not watch CNN and dislike Jake Tapper, but thank you anyway
jhalp2.bsky.social224“out of respect for Lindsey Graham” No words. What a spineless toad Tapper is.
AJW 🇺🇸🚫🍊132“And you’re totally not old and functioning perfectly Mr Trump, I will write a book about it” -Jake Tapper
Middlerage93Normal Path? So FOX NEWS???? 🤡
Saint Sherman - The Ultimate Patriot62Tapper agrees that he's ready to amplify Trump's lies at any time?
MBC51“Trying to have CNN go on a normal path”?! I’m old enough to remember that a politician endeavoring to guide a major news network to what they’ve defined as “normal” would be promptly condemned by both parties as dictatorial.
vanoreo26@jaketapper.bsky.social if hitler was talking to me on national tv and praised me for being on his preferred path i'd probably think about it a little
Jake Grumbach18The only kind of person who can get Trump to like them while keeping their integrity is a young good looking dude like Mamdani. Tapper, not being a Hot Guy, must debase himself
nickforbrains 🏳️🌈11Hungary shut down state media and replaced it with a message telling people they’d been lied to for years. Good things are possible.
Sam Youngman9Jake trying to be the new Lindsey
McJulie6I can’t believe people like Tapper aren’t more embarrassed to get Trump patting them on the head and telling them they’re a good boy
*it* is happening here2What a good boy you are, Jake.
RB2Holy shit what an obsequious little worm.
Dat Roro Kid2These motherfuckers will choose ratings over the good of the country and your personal safety 100/100 times. Fuck CNN.
Chilling In interview just now: Trump tells Jake Tapper that Trump is trying to have “CNN go on a normal path” (David Ellison is poised to take control of CNN in the Paramount - WBD merger)
Lalo Steensland25Jake Tapper, for one, welcomes his new maga overlords
Yellow Dog Dem 13Scott Jennings of @cnn.com lied on air about a dead senator. @cnn.com is already gone. They're toast.

Elliot Edelstein10Fck CNN...never watch it...never will again..it's blocked
Churlayla 86.478"Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly." Morticia Addams
seamiracles4Was he talking about himself in the 3rd person? Bc that's, of course, yet another sign of cognitive decline (and narcissistic personality disorder)
“I’m trying to have CNN go on a normal path”🤔 After Tapper generously (obediently) talks to Trump ONLY about Lindsey Graham at Trump’s request, Trump casually admits his buddy Ellison is taking over the network to influence it to be more pro-Trump
djchocolatemlk.bsky.social30Always remember the cowards. They are the ones who facilitate all of this.
gerbo1964.bsky.social17I stopped watching CNN a few years ago- mostly because of Tapper.
savefrogs2.bsky.social15Will Jake and every other reporter ask president Trump about how he is in the Epstein files, and can he please expedite their release?
whahtsnext.bsky.social12Jake Tapper being Tapper. I have lost all respect for him.
Lori 🇺🇦💩🐸👑10Access journalism is so disgustingly nauseating.
SHRED9Trump can talk about anything but he demands others to only talk about what he wants to talk about.
For me, these two statements about Trump will always define who Lindsey Graham was "I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy. I think he's unfit for office” “What concerns me..is this endless, endless attempt to label the guy some kind of kook not fit to be president” youtu.be/kSEvatYTgyY?...
EASTMAN38It’s hard to accurately assess the harm that Lindsey Graham caused in his lifetime. With his conservative views and support for the pedophile in the White House, the damage he helped inflict on the nation will have a long-lasting effect. It is not a legacy that deserves to be honored.
Laura31"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it". Lindsey Graham
David5Graham showed in the end that he put integrity and America last. cbwrong.blogspot.com/2026/07/when...
CNN: "Has Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz?" Trump: "From our point of view, the strait is open. Don't talk about this matter."
Melissa7His entire body of work has effectively been walking away and letting someone else deal with the repercussions of his failures. This time the fallout is global and we are all the Someone Else, so no, we absolutely won’t stop talking about it.
ArtsulSelva4thank you for your lack of attention to this matter
lumi3And our media personalities just nod and move on... The "garbage in - garbage out" School of Journalism is alive and well.
end times bacon1He is undeniably the king of wishful thinking
djchocolatemlk.bsky.social1Narrator's voice: "The strait is, obviously, closed."
Jake Tapper on State of the Union: “Iran has declared the Strait of Hormuz closed. Is that true?” Trump: “It’s open as far as I’m concerned. Don’t talk about it. Talk about the reason the you asked me to speak.”
Mark Chadbourn30Explosions in Bandar Abbas and Qeshm, Iran, Fars News Agency reports.
Colette10Maybe Mr Tapper can write another book on President Biden....
DCLascelle 🇨🇦8"PAY NO ATTENTION TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!" Or, you know, reality . . . Also, I'd say the segment was over right fucking then.
Fraser7On planet Trump the Strait of Hormuz is open and the oil is flowing - the only problem is planet Trump has only one occupant - the rest of us live on planet earth where the Strait of Hormuz is closed no matter what Trump says 🤦🏻
Grizzled Shopkeep6Tapper: SIR YES SIR, RIGHT AWAY SIR, LET'S TALK ABOUT MY SPECIALITY, WHY IS BIDEN SO OLD.
JOE2If this was President Biden, Tapper would be mightily concerned that he was spewing nonsense but since it’s trump, he will let it slide.
