The individuals who watch CNN know why they’re watching CNN. They hate Donald Trump, and so they love to listen to him in comparison with Hitler, or maybe murderous dinosaurs. On Thursday’s The Lead, host Jake Tapper fed the CNN base by citing a current “progressive” Trump insult, evaluating his second time period to the velociraptors in Jurassic Park determining learn how to terrify the people.
New York Occasions reporter Maggie Haberman was discussing how Trump is coming right into a second time period in any case the teachings realized in his first, he is gained a greater understanding of how Washington works. “He did are available in final time, really, with a coverage agenda that he wished to enact, and he acquired completely stymied by, you already know, somebody in his personal administration and flummoxed by the varied investigations into him. He’s not going through any of that proper now. So it’ll be fascinating to see what it seems like.”
Then got here the dino-bite, or as Jesse Watters put it on Fox, “Trumposaurus Rex”:
Giggles! Jake Tapper enjoys the metaphor that Trump is coming again to a second time period just like the velociraptors in “Jurassic Park” studying learn how to wreak havoc.

TAPPER: Effectively, the query then turns into, does this data that he has, does that imply that he shall be extra Reaganesque in his supply? Or is it just like the velociraptor who exams — exams the door in Jurassic Park after which is now determining how he can extra efficiently wreak havoc?
HABERMAN: Proper. A number of individuals who have labored for him over time have used the Jurassic Park analogy, so I believe that appears.
TAPPER: [Laughs] Sure. I didn’t make it up.
HABERMAN: Proper. It looks as if. Effectively, I’m simply saying, if it’s a must to decide which one you suppose it’s going to be. I don’t suppose it’s going to be Reaganesque supply. I believe he’s going to say issues like, “I’ll be truthful to you, so long as you’re truthful to me, which we now have heard him and his model of equity isn’t essentially all people else’s.
TAPPER: Which means no criticism in any respect.
HABERMAN: Proper. It means — it means doing what he needs or saying what he needs and never opposing him.
It is a bit puzzling how refusing to talk optimistically or idealistically like Ronald Reagan someway makes you a vicious dinosaur. In his day, Reagan was painted as the harmful dinosaur. Liberal journalists routinely smear whoever the Republican president is — even the George Bushes.
