During a segment on CNN NewsNight, Abby Phillip confronted Scott Jennings about Donald Trump's alleged use of government as a weapon. Phillip highlighted a disparity between Trump's previous warnings about weaponization and his current actions in office, arguing that he is misusing governmental power for personal or political gains. Jennings countered by suggesting Trump is using government as a 'shield' rather than a weapon. The discussion underscored the controversial strategies employed by Trump that are perceived to target individuals and institutions at odds with his administration's agenda.
PHILLIP: But now that Donald Trump has the power to weaponize government, he is doing it. He's doling out punishment and presidential favors and equal turns.
Phillip emphasized the contradiction in Trump's past assertions about weaponizing government and his current actions, framing it as a misuse of taxpayer dollars.
