Trump Celebrates Jeff Zucker’s Exit from CNN

February 2, 2022 · 12:50 pm ET · Leave a Comment

Former President Donald Trump applauded news of Jeff Zucker’s exit from CNN in a statement:

“Jeff Zucker, a world-class sleazebag who has headed ratings and real-news-challenged CNN for far too long, has been terminated for numerous reasons, but predominantly because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else…  Jeff Zucker is gone-congratulations to all!”

Trump has apparently forgotten how much Zucker helped him.
