Jake Tapper Exposes 'Nefarious' Reason For Donald Trump's Debate Calamity
HuffPost
The former president's tactics were "for the dogs," said the CNN anchor.
Jake Tapper on Wednesday suggested the “unmistakable reason” that Donald Trump’s debate performance against Democratic rival Kamala Harris was so “wanting.”
The former president has “siloed himself off into an unhealthy media ecosystem,” said the CNN anchor, acknowledging that many politicians and Americans “limit their intake of information to that which comports with their preexisting beliefs and narratives.”
But “what we saw last night with Mr. Trump, however, is something far more nefarious” and “evidence of someone not just stuck in an information silo, but a misinformation silo,” he continued.
Tapper cited Trump’s baseless claim about immigrants eating pets in Ohio as “the most notorious evidence of that.”
