CNN says Obama, Clinton, and Bush smarter than Trump: Liberal Media Scream
Teh article criticizes CNN for what it describes as extreme anti-Trump bias, highlighting a CNN commentator’s claim that former President Donald Trump lacks the intellect of previous political figures such as Barack Obama, George W. Bush, and Hillary Clinton when dealing with russian President Vladimir Putin. The commentator, Bakari Sellers, suggested on CNN’s “State of the Union” that Trump failed to perform effectively on the world stage during his meeting with Putin, implying that Putin “ate Trump’s lunch.” The article counters this view by noting that Obama, Clinton, and Bush oversaw multiple wars, while Trump ended several conflicts and hosted a summit aiming to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war. It also cites criticism of Obama and others for their handling of Putin, such as allowing the Crimea annexation without opposition and attempts to “reset” relations with Russia.The piece presents the CNN commentary as unfounded and overly partisan, concluding with a sarcastic “five out of five screams” rating to emphasize its disapproval.
CNN says Obama, Clinton, and Bush smarter than Trump: Liberal Media Scream
CNN reached a new low in its anti-Trump bias, declaring that Russian President Vladimir Putin ate President Donald Trump’s lunch on Friday because Trump doesn’t have the “intellect” of former Presidents Barack Obama and George W. Bush or former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Regular commentator Bakari Sellers on Sunday’s State of the Union overlooked that the political trio oversaw several wars, while Trump, in his second term, has ended a half-dozen wars and is today hosting a world summit at the White House to end the Russia-Ukraine war.
Sellers was focused on Trump’s meeting in Alaska with Putin, an icebreaker on several fronts after former President Joe Biden let U.S.-Russian relations reach a Cold War low.
“Donald Trump cannot perform on the world stage because he simply does not have the intellect to match up with these world leaders. He’s not Barack Obama, he’s not Hillary Clinton. He’s not even George Bush when it comes to being able to maneuver in these environments,” Sellers.
From CNN’s Sunday morning State of the Union hosted by Jake Tapper:
BAKARI SELLERS, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: I think Vladimir Putin is a thug. I think he’s a war criminal. And I think he made Donald Trump look small. I mean, I understand the minutiae of where — I want a deal, like every other American wants a deal, or you should be praying for that deal.
However, like I have said before many times, Donald Trump cannot perform on the world stage because he simply does not have the intellect to match up with these world leaders. He’s not Barack Obama, he’s not Hillary Clinton. He’s not even George Bush when it comes to being able to maneuver in these environments. And so what you saw was Vladimir Putin come and get what he wanted. I mean, the winner of this is Vladimir Putin. I don’t know why we’re trying to hide the ball.
BRAD TODD, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: That’s what happened when he took Crimea. Obama gave him exactly what he wanted when he let Vladimir Putin have Crimea without so much as a shot or an objection.

Brent Baker, the Steven P.J. Wood senior fellow and vice president for research and publications at the Media Research Center, explained our pick: “How vacuous can you be? When [former Sen.] Mitt Romney called Putin ‘the biggest political threat facing America,’ which has proven true, Obama ridiculed Romney: ‘The 1980s are now calling to ask for their foreign policy back, because the Cold War’s been over for 20 years.’ And as Todd pointed out, Obama didn’t do anything to counter Putin’s invasion of Crimea. Yet Obama is intellectually superior to Trump because Trump isn’t standing up enough to Putin? To say nothing of George W. Bush declaring he got ‘a sense’ of Putin’s ‘soul’ and found him ‘trustworthy’ or Hillary Clinton offering Putin a ‘reset’ button.”
