"MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell went off on CNN and Jake Tapper over an interview with President Donald Trump that O'Donnell suggested could very well have been faked by the White House. Tapper presented what he called an exclusive text interview with Trump on Sunday's edition of CNN's State of the Union that consisted of several questions about the Israel-Hamas deal, one question about the government shutdown, and an unknown number of questions on unknown topics to which Tapper received no responses."
"So now, instead of letting Trump hide in a phone call where we can at least know that it's him talking, Donald Trump gets to hide behind the black screen of texting. We actually have no idea who texted the replies in that so-called interview. CNN is unable to prove that Donald Trump was actually doing that texting. CNN has not revealed how long it took to get a reply to each of the five written questions"
Lawrence O'Donnell criticized CNN and Jake Tapper for airing a text-format interview that Tapper presented as an exclusive with President Donald Trump. O'Donnell suggested the replies could have been faked or sent by an imposter and questioned CNN's inability to prove that Trump actually sent the texts. O'Donnell highlighted that Tapper gave written questions and that CNN did not disclose timing or verification of replies. O'Donnell also accused Tapper and CNN of a double standard in treating Trump's mental state compared with former President Joe Biden. The segment centered on skepticism about the interview's authenticity and journalistic standards.
