It is a hassle, or could just be “clickbait” to expect people to go off to some link, to find out what you are talking about.

What did CNN say about Trump?

The gist is this (aired 24 Dec):

“Trump Could Become the Most Consequential President in Modern Era”

“Time Magazine got it wrong by not naming Trump it’s Person of the Year”

Essentially, the commentator, Michael Smerconish, was saying that Time missed their own criteria for what constitutes a “consequential person”, and that Donald J. Trump, as President, stands way above any of the other considered.

Now, Smerconish is a kind of wild card, who probably meets every standard for a “Never-Trumper”, as he has abandoned every pretense of being conservative, and gone over to the “dark side”, for a while enjoying high status as the example that CNN was trying show was the “progressive nature” of the trend in US politics.

But now, in perhaps a moment of self-doubt, Smerconish is sort of returning to his roots, and at least recognizing some degree of reality. Has he been successfully returned to the fold? Maybe, maybe not, but he puts a lot of the milestones that Trump has surpassed into perspective.
