CNN anchor Jake Tapper stunned his audience by admitting that President Donald Trump has “legitimate grievances” with former President Joe Biden’s Department of Justice.
He made the comments on Friday after President Trump spoke at the Department of Justice.
“You don’t have to be a member of MAGA to say, ‘You know what? Those Peter Strzok-Lisa Page texts were awful. There was FISA abuse. There was that weird thing with Carter Page,’” the anchor said.
“I don’t know about that Alvin Bragg case where he, like, basically invented a felony. You don’t have to be a member of MAGA to look and say, ‘You know what? He does have some legitimate grievances,’” Tapper added.
Also on Friday, Vice President J.D. Vance has reassured American voters that it will take time for President Donald Trump’s policies to show the economic fix that they are waiting for, but that everything is trending in that direction.
He spoke to Fox News host Laura Ingraham who mentioned that the tariffs have caused some concern, but also that inflation has cooled and prices are coming back to Earth.
“Yeah, well first of all, I think the president’s been very clear. He wants to impose tariffs on foreign importers because he wants to bring investment and jobs back to the United States of America. So what I’d say to those business leaders is I think the president has actually been quite clear about what he wants to accomplish,” the vice president said.
“Build more in the United States of America, invest more in the United States of America, raise wages for workers in the United States of America, and you don’t have to pay these tariffs at all. There is, as the president has said, a recognition that we have to accept, which is that look, Joe Biden left this economy in a disaster. He ran the highest peacetime deficits we’ve ever had in this country,” Vance continued.
“He left us with a significant debt crisis, and the president has come in and said, look, we have to accomplish a lot of things simultaneously. We have to bring down inflation, which I think we’re making some good progress on. We have to actually ensure critical government services like Social Security and the military function for the American people, and we also have to force businesses to invest more, not overseas, not in Chinese workers, but in American workers, and I think we’re doing all of those things,” he added.
“Rome wasn’t built in a day, of course. This is not going to happen overnight, but I think that both businesses and workers are ultimately going to benefit from President Trump’s policies,” he said.
