CNN commentator and former Obama advisor Van Jones admitted during a recent podcast appearance that President Trump is “smarter” than “all of his critics” and that he made the entire Democrat party and Democrat media complex “look like idiots.”
These remarks came during an interview posted to political commentator Chris Cillizza’s YouTube channel on Friday. Cillizza agreed with Jones’ assessment that “we look like idiots,” commenting, “You’re totally right.”
Jones’ revelation is in response to Trump defying all attempts to steal the 2024 election with a sweeping victory on November 5, winning every swing state, 312 electoral votes, the national popular vote, and both chambers of Congress. Cillizza was dumbfounded that Trump was able to build such a movement and “figure out the mainstream media is the fringe,” but Jones set him straight.

Cillizza: How the hell did Donald Trump figure out the mainstream media is the fringe, and the fringe is now the mainstream? How did Donald Trump figure out— I mean, Joe Rogan is obvious, right? Like, we knew the guy had a big audience. It’s not like we were, like, stunned, but like, how the hell was he, the 78 year old guy who doesn’t even have a computer and still like writes handwritten notes– how did he become the guy who cracked the code on, to your point, running a cultural, I don’t even want to say campaign running a movement, heading a cultural movement versus a campaign?
Jones: Every one of your people knows Elon, Elon, Elon, Elon. Listen, everybody keeps, I mean, the problem is, you have a framework in your mind that, how could Donald Trump? How could Donald Trump? How can Donald Trump? Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot. Donald Trump, let me just be very clear: Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all of his critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the support, the popular vote. He has a massive media ecosystem bigger than the mainstream built around him and for him and a religious fervor in a political movement around him, and his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him. This dude is, is a phenomenon. He is the most powerful human on Earth and in our lifetime. And we’re still saying, Well, how is this guy… We look like idiots to ordinary people.
Cillizza: You’re totally right.
Former Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) called the rare moment of clarity “a clip for history.”
This is the second time Jones has blasted his liberal colleagues as “idiots” recently.
Days after Trump’s historic victory, Jones gave an accurate assessment of the election, commenting, “We thought that they [MAGA] were idiots. It turned out we [Democrats and leftwing media] were idiots.”
You know it's bad when the Democrats are calling themselves idiots.
Yes.
By God, he's right. The people on the left who look down on us and laugh about us being 'cult members' and 'deplorables' have finally figured out we're the team behind Trump and we're not giving up... and we're not stupid either. We're American voters and we're busy recruiting our democrat neighbors to the cause...
Trump listens to everyone - - not just Barron.
Biden listened to HIS son too - was able to shake down China for more cash... more whores? Who knows.
Part of it is listening - part of it is judging the value of the information. Biden bought the crap and used it...and was damaged by it. Trump accepted the wisdom and used it. And furthered his campaign.
I want the Bill Maher link... just one more time. Promise.

Oh, you...
Naturally he said Trump was crazy, the people in the red hats don't understand the Latin phrase "a priori", and just generally barely masked his contempt for all Trump supporters, while paying some lip service to an idea that he also made fun of -- don't say the quiet part out loud. He remains a partisan POS with a couple of common sense views. Anyway, around the 5 minute mark, right after his red hats remark, he got to what a good many people will agree with:Bill Maher Says Dems Learned Nothing from the Big Loss [11/16/2024]"Democrats have become like a royal family that, because of so much incest, has unfortunately had children who are retarded. And the same thing can happen to ideas if they are also conceived in an atmosphere of intellectual incest. Maybe take the clothespin off your noses and actually converse with the other half of the country. Stop screaming at people to get with the program and instead make a program worth getting with. [applause] What good is liberalism if you don't win elections?"
Just recognizing the obvious isn’t creditable.
You can’t deny Trump’s genius and power without some strong delusion going on.
