Scott Jennings is the only reason to watch CNN and he’s proved that again tonight after he was asked about President-elect Trump’s message to Panama.
Jennings quickly points out that Trump is sending a strong message to China about their encroachment into the Western Hemisphere, saying “I think Donald Trump is trying to send a message to the Chinese…that I’m not going to put up with this encroachment.”
“Now what is true,” Jennings adds, “is that China is having encroachment in this hemisphere, Africa and all over the world. They’re trying to act like the world’s leading superpower. They are trying to exert their values and their way of life all over the world. That used to be our job!”
“I think what Donald Trump is saying here is I don’t want this in my backyard, America is the World’s superpower, more America is better and I’m sending a message that I’m not going to put up with this sort of creeping Chinese influence in my own backyard.”
When challenged about upsetting Panama and them being our ally, Jennings responded “Do I care if Panama is angry? What is Van Halen gonna come and be upset about it?”
Jennings continued pointing out how vital the Panama Canal is and that Trump needs them to understand that America is the dominant superpower in this hemisphere.
