CNN’s David Gergen Knocks Trump for Focusing on Domestic Policy
2016-12-03
[NEWSBUSTERS.ORG] Minutes after President-Elect Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
’s "Thank You Tour" rally in Cincinnati, Ohio Thursday night CNN commentator, and former White House adviser, David Gergen voiced his displeasure for the man during Anderson Cooper 360. "I think there was any doubt that we’re putting an end in one chapter in American history and moving on to a new one he dispelled that doubt tonight," he whined after bemoaning, "The alpha male reappeared tonight."

Host Anderson Cooper seemed taken aback by Gergen’s direction since he originally went to Gergen to discuss Trump’s use of teleprompter and "conversational style which has always been incredibly effective certainly for his supporters on the campaign trail."

"I'm talking about announcing who his defense secretary pick is. You know, in a sort of charming way," Cooper explained trying to get Gergen back on track.

Gergen then went on a small rant about how America’s path is going to change under a Trump presidency:

This is goodbye to American leadership in the world. It’s goodbye to globalization. He's bringing America home. He's going to lead a nativist, nationalistic, populist movement and if you want to join up with him fine, if you don't, forget it.

Cooper countered by noting that American history is full of presidents pulled into foreign engagements, "But I got to say, a lot of presidents have started out saying, "You know what? I'm not talk about nation-building. I'm focusing here at home." And world events have led them elsewhere."
