We\u2019ll do that,\u201d Trump agreed, as Tapper responded: \u201cThank you for calling.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The president then touched on his distaste for \u201cfake news\u201d CNN, and threatened: \u201cWe\u2019re trying to have CNN go in a normal path, and we\u2018ll do that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Oddly, Tapper overlooked the criticism of his network and assured the president: \u201cWell, I\u2018m on a normal path right here, sir, and I appreciate your time. And thank you for calling in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cGood, you are,\u201d Trump agreed. \u201cOK, thanks a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAdmitting they are trying to control the media,\u201d one person noted on X.<\/p>\n<p>While some people took umbrage with Trump\u2019s comment about CNN, others were more focused on Tapper\u2019s conduct throughout the unfruitful interview\u2014interpreting it as supplication rather than a potential attempt to get Trump back or honor the mourning of Graham.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3370\">Putin\u2019s Goons Celebrate Lindsey Graham\u2019s Sudden Death<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cJake\u2019s a pathetic sycophant.

What a joke of a journalist. \u2018I\u2019m doing good, right, sir?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A third raged: \u201cIt\u2019s not up to the president or any elected official to direct the \u2018path\u2019 any news organization follows. If CNN is buying into this they need to close their doors, or officially merge with Fox.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast reached out to CNN for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Trump has been feuding with CNN for years, but Tapper hasn\u2019t always been so pliable in the face of the president\u2019s condemnation.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Trump attacked the broadcaster in a lengthy Truth Social rant, accusing \u201cFake News CNN\u201d of putting out \u201ca knowingly false and dangerous statement pretending it came from the upper levels of the Iranian Government\u201d amid the on-off ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>With Trump threatening official action against CNN, Tapper made it clear that he and his colleagues would not bow down to his pressure.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cOur job is not to try and please the president or only report the statements he likes. We\u2018re going to tell you what\u2018s going on, and we\u2018re going to keep doing that, no matter how many lies this administration or the Iranians tell,\u201d Tapper said as part of a fiery live response.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3368\">Why Trump\u2019s Top Legal Goon Can Never Lead DOJ<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jake Tapper has been branded a \u201csycophant\u201d after his very compliant behavior toward an unyielding President Donald Trump.
