A contentious debate unfolded on Wednesday night as CNN’s Scott Jennings and former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross clashed over the complexities of President Trump’s trade policies and foreign dealings.
The discussion began with an examination of Mr. Trump’s tariffs, but quickly shifted to his reported interest in purchasing Greenland from Denmark. Cross expressed strong disapproval of this proposition, stating, “It’s a colonizer’s attitude to say, ‘I like it, I’m just going to steal it.’
”
Jennings countered her assertion directly, questioning the basis of her claim. “Steal what?” he asked.
Cross clarified, “Land, land. You cannot just go and say, ‘I like it, it’s mine now.’ It doesn’t work that way.
”
The exchange escalated as Cross labeled Jennings “irrelevant,” arguing his lack of government experience rendered him unqualified to comment on the issue involving the President. Jennings swiftly responded with a pointed remark regarding her recent departure from MSNBC, questioning her own relevance in the context of the discussion.
* He stated: “You got fired from your job. How relevant are you?”
Cross retorted that Jennings was resorting to personal attacks and accused him of lacking substantive arguments. Jennings repeatedly denied this accusation, suggesting Cross was initiating the insults.
The disagreement continued, with Cross arguing that Trump’s foreign policy was contributing to a decline in America’s international standing.
* She claimed: “…the U.S. is becoming ‘increasingly isolated on the world stage.’”
Jennings refuted this characterization, prompting another accusation of personal attacks from Cross. Concluding her remarks, she suggested Jennings direct his insults toward his own political party, whom she believed were responsible for isolating America’s position internationally.
The discourse grew increasingly heated, highlighting the deep divisions surrounding Trump’s policies and their perceived impact on both domestic and international affairs.
