“I’m not just trying to debunk Trump, I’m trying to decode Trump.” That’s how Van Jones sums up his unique and controversial approach to covering the 45th president of the United States.
The CNN commentator and host of The Messy Truth found himself under fire from his fellow progressives last week after he declared that Trump “became president” in the moment that he led Congress in a standing ovation for the widow of a Navy SEAL who was killed in a counterterrorism raid under his watch.
“That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics, period,” Jones said on CNN following the joint address, adding that Trump finally seemed “presidential” in his eyes.

Well, here’s a clue, Mr. Jones. Instead of spending all your time interviewing your equally clueless colleagues, get out of your Ivory Tower and try “decoding” a few real Americans for a change.
Sheesh.
So, Trump wasn’t allowed to investigate Obama’s birth, but Donald Trump shouldn’t be thought of as our president?
Van Jones is now the beaten spouse. LoL! He’ll apologize to the left, say it was his fault, a slip up, deserved the beating and it won’t happen again.
