In a noteworthy and uncharacteristic shift in coverage from the cable news outlet, CNN, who had 93% negative coverage of the president in his first 100 days in office, has offered praise for Trump.
Noting that while it may "horrify the political and foreign policy establishment, media critics and allied leaders", Trump is keeping his promises, and that's something unique in Washington. I myself brought this up in March:
One thing that has stuck with me is Trump's tenacity against adversity, which is truly something to admire. If we had this same kind of dogged determination in a less brutish and abrasive president with flaws as numerous as there are stars in the sky, this country would truly be brought to new heights.Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger of California was elected with the same kind of shtick: Outsider, not afraid to call it like he sees it, ready to actually get things done, no political experience. And do you know what happened when he started to get pushback from Democrats, when he started to get criticism from his constituents? He folded like a lawn chair. Suddenly embraced the left and never looked back. Then you look at the pushback against Donald Trump, many magnitudes greater than Schwarzenegger experienced, and would you look at that, he's becoming more determined to accomplish what he said he would. More determined to keep his promises. In the shipwreck of media coverage about Trump, you can easily miss admirable flotsam like this.
Anyway, props to CNN for giving credit where credit is due.
