CNN heaps shock praise on Donald Trump as he completes first week in office
The Daily Mail ^ | 24 Jan 2025 | Alex Hammer

CNN's resident data guru could not help but praise Donald Trump after observing a rise in his approval rating Friday - four days into his presidency.

Senior Political Data Reporter Harry Enten called the occurrence proof Americans were already 'lik[ing] what they're seeing', even after the president's plentiful pardons.

The polling from Reuters/Ipsos showed Trump ending the week with what's undoubtedly his highest rating ever - a net favorability of six points.

Eight years ago, the conservative had a rating of negative three points, leading Enten to marvel at the shift.

'That's up nine points,' he said - before noting how polling also showed 47 percent of Americans approving of Trump, compared to just 41 percent who didn't.

'To borrow a Donald Trump phrase, this is big league!' he joked - seemingly with a hint of seriousness given the rise occurred within a matter of days.

'This is a sign that the American people – at least initially – like what they're seeing,' he reasoned. 'More Americans approve of Donald Trump's job than disapprove.'

He eventually pointed to a graphic that rightly stated how Trump is the 'only president ever' to sport a higher rating within a month of their second term than their first.

Trump issued a slew of bold executive orders in his first week.

He has begun rounding up illegal migrants to deport, banned diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) policies in the federal government and sought to curtail the more extreme facets of transgender ideology.

All three of those positions are broadly supported by a majority of both Republicans and Democrats, recent polling shows.

I don’t think recognizing reality equals praise.

They're going with Carville's dictum: It’s Hard But Dems Have to Let Trump Punch Himself Out.

If he's following company dictate he's on right now, opposite local weather forecasts and reruns of Hogan's Heroes sponsored by meds for tardive dyskinesia.

One thing about biased news organizations is that they always have an agenda. You don’t need to be a genius to figure why they may be sucking up to Trump now.

Stupid dictum.

If Carville is waiting for President Trump to punch himself out, he’ll be waiting a very long time.
