CNN political commentator Scott Jennings claimed there are “green shoots of optimism” for President-elect Donald Trump ahead of his inauguration.
During a Sunday discussion on CNN, former Hillary Clinton adviser Karen Finney claimed that Trump is “coming in hot” by placing “unelected corporate billionaires” into power and he is “going to see a backlash.”
Jennings disagreed and claimed that “Americans are sick of Joe Biden” and tired of a “having weak leadership.” The commentator then claimed Americans believe that Trump “will increase peace and stability in the world.”
FINNEY: I do think he’s going to he’s coming in hot, Right. He’s going to be bolder and all of that. But as we’ve talked about before, he also has put a lot of unelected corporate billionaires in positions where they actually stand to gain financially. And I think Americans are going to get sick of it. I think Americans are also going to get sick of kind of what we’re going to see, which is a repeat of chaos on Capitol Hill. We’ve already seen sort of that clash with traditional conservative values around the budget, for example, and raising the debt ceiling with the president. I think he’s not going to be able to figure out how to make folks bend to his will at every turn. And I think Democrats will stay out of the way and let folks see this. If this is what you want, here’s the full Trump. And I do think within two years, when we get to a midterm, it’s going to be too much. And I think you’re going to see a backlash.
JENNINGS: I think Americans are sick of Joe Biden, uncommon nonsense that comes out of the Democratic Party and they’re sick of feeling like this country has been running in place, stuck in quicksand for the last four years. Three quarters of Americans think we’re on the wrong track. But there are hints of optimism in the American people. There was a CBS News survey that came out last weekend and more Americans thought that Donald Trump would increase peace and stability in the world than that he would not. So you can start to feel the green shoots of optimism. And so when I look ahead to what he’s going to do at the inaugural and what he could do in the first 100 days of his administration, I hope he senses that from the American people, hits the ground running and strikes the optimistic notes, because I think people are tired of having weak leadership that has taken us off in the wrong direction. He has a real opportunity here to do something amazing, and I hope he does it.
