On Thursday, Lara Trump, President Donald Trump’s daughter-in-law, shared her views on CNN, reports The Hill.
An Overview of Trump’s Statements
During an interview, the daughter-in-law of President Trump expressed her thoughts on CNN. Her remarks came after reports of the mail bombs directed towards the news network and various Democrat leaders.
“CNN has proven themselves to really do everything they can and go out of their way to try and malign this president in many ways. I think with our base, they understand that. The people that support the president find them very frustrating. It’s a talking point for sure, but it’s got truth to it.”
Trump also stated that CNN has faced declines in their ratings since the president’s entry into the political arena. Shortly thereafter, the daughter-in-law professed that CNN is not trusted by many Americans and often “manufactures” information.
Following Lara Trump’s interview, a spokesperson for CNN pushed back against her claims. Matt Dornic declared Trump’s assertions as “untrue” and claimed that the network’s ratings have actually surged since 2016.
American’s Perceptions of CNN
Various individuals across the country have different outlooks on CNN. Like Lara Trump, many conservatives believe that the network intentionally spins and misrepresents stories in order to cast President Trump in an unfavorable light.
