Chris Cuomo goes on heated rant against viewers attacking Trump

NewsNation host Chris Cuomo on his Tuesday podcast went on a heated rant against a series of viewers who made comments attacking President Donald Trump on the YouTube video of one of his previous episodes.

On his June 19 “Chris Cuomo Project” episode titled, “The Two Iran Questions That Will DEFINE Trump’s Presidency,” the host drew several comments disagreeing with his commentary by claiming the president has no skill at making deals. On his Tuesday episode, Cuomo responded to the comments by expressing frustration with Democrats constantly attacking Trump.

WATCH:

“I said he sees himself as a dealmaker. He wants to make deals. That’s where his head is. That’s where he sees success. He is not a hawk in the traditional sense. He does not believe in ‘might makes right’ through military as we have seen in the past,” Cuomo said. “That’s my fucking point. Is he successful in business? Hell no. Except in selling his name as a marketing guy, which he has a very specific kind of genius with. You got to give it to him. That guy is president of the United States 2X, okay? And should have never happened.”

“So what did he do? He attached and became an affinity play for people he has nothing in common with. He adopted their outrage and sold it back to them. And now you can say he doesn’t know how to make a deal, but that’s a deal right there,” he continued. “And will he be able to make tariff deals with other countries? I don’t know. But he’s not the one negotiating. So I do think deals will get made because it’s not him. Do I think he made a deal with the regime? No. But he got the two sides to make a ceasefire because the regime is afraid that we were going to bomb them out of existence.”

Cuomo described the ceasefire that Trump brokered between Iran and Israel as “a win.”

“You can say no, but you’re just a player hater. And I don’t give a fuck how many likes you get on your comments by hating Trump, because it doesn’t win the race,” he said. “You get 42, 44%. That’s what just happened. ‘Trump sucks’ doesn’t win the race. My frustration is with you thinking — you keep doing the same thing — which is just pound on this fucking guy, which is easy enough to do, but you don’t win the race.”

“So now what you’re doing is doubling down on ‘Trump sucks’ by outrage and making your own MAGA. I don’t think it’s going to work for Democrats,” he continued. “I think you’re making a mistake paying attention to [Democratic New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez] AOC and this new deference to radical left and radical fundamentalist and radical Islamist sympathies. I think it’s a huge fucking mistake. You are once again valuing the few over the many. And if you think trans sports got you in a pickle, you’re about to be in a whole bucket of brine.”

Businessman and television personality Mark Cuban similarly condemned Democrats on “Pod Save America” Sunday for constantly attacking Trump rather than offering solutions to improve Americans’ lives.

“It’s just ‘Trump sucks.’ That’s the underlying thought of everything the Democrats do,” Cuban said. “‘Trump sucks.’ Trump says the sky is blue. ‘Trump sucks.’”

“That’s not the way to win! It’s just not! Because it’s not about Trump — it’s about the people of the United States of America — and what’s good for them!” he continued. “And how do you get them to a place where they’re in a better position and it’s less stressful for them.”
