CNN reporter Dana Bash offered President Trump some rare praise on Thursday, saying it is a “positive” that the president “actually answers questions.”
On CNN, Bash and Wolf Blitzer discussed Trump’s comments about the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
“I wanna start out on the positive,” she began. “The positive is…one of the reasons Donald Trump is so different from everybody else is something we should applaud.”
“He actually answers questions,” the CNN chief political correspondent said.
The praise didn’t last too long, as Bash went on to say how, in this case, Trump’s willingness to answer questions threw his Vice President and other aides under the bus.
Trump sometimes answers questions “to the dismay of many of his staffers who were out there on a limb saying something completely opposite,” she explained.
Nonetheless, she said, he answers “in a way that seems to be true.”
“I mean, what he said is the real deal. He was going to fire James Comey.”
