"Defending Trump's remarks during a panel debate on CNN NewsNight, Jennings insisted, He is supported by a great many people who see the value in highly specialized, talented people being able to come here. Host Abby Phillip replied, He's not really saying clearly what the policy ought to be, he's just saying we don't have talented people in the United States to do these jobs, which is not true."
"Democratic strategist Madeline Summerville then weighed in, This sucks for you guys because Trump has put you in a very difficult position, because as my colleagues have said here, if Joe Biden or any other Democrat would have said this, you'd be like, That's ridiculous!' She continued, I think it's quite difficult to defend somebody who puts you in a position of saying we should put somebody else besides America first, especially when he's just given billions of dollars to bail out Argentina."
President Donald Trump's Fox News interview drew backlash from his supporters for saying there was not enough talent in America. CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings defended Trump's remarks on a CNN NewsNight panel, asserting many supporters value bringing highly specialized, talented people to the United States. Host Abby Phillip pushed back, calling Trump's claim that the U.S. lacks talent untrue. Jennings said he interpreted the remarks as leaving room for more talent and referenced needs for top talent. Other panelists, including Keith Boykin and Madeline Summerville, criticized the defense and highlighted political difficulties and apparent contradictions with Trump's policies.
