CNN tries very hard to never report anything positive about Donald Trump.
But on one occasion, even CNN had to own up to the truth.
And even CNN was forced to admit one fact about Donald Trump.
As Great American Digest reports:
President Trump ripped Democrats and the media for claiming America is suffering an “affordability crisis.”
Trump blasted this claim as a “con” because the inflation started under Joe Biden, and it was left to Trump to clean up the mess.
The media routinely denounces Trump as a liar for saying something as simple as “the sky is blue.”
But in this case, Trump got back up from none other than Fareed Zakaria, the globalist, leftwing CNN host.
Zakaria said it was true that America suffered from an affordability crisis.
However, Zakaria said the most expensive and unaffordable places to live were all the blue cities and states run by Democrats, such as New York, California, and Illinois.
“The shutdown reinforced the image of the Democrats as feckless. They promised wonderful-sounding new programs, free childcare. But in fact preside over bloated bureaucracies and inept execution. If America has an affordability crisis, it tends to be in places Democrats govern, like New York, Illinois, and California, which all feature high taxes, soaring housing costs, and stagnant outcomes in basic areas like education and infrastructure, Zakaria stated.
Zakaria called out New York for the spiraling costs of education.
“In 2012, toward the end of Michael Bloomberg’s mayoralty, the city’s budget was about $65 billion. Today, it is about $116 billion, an increase of more than 75 percent in just over a decade. Spending has soared while the subway deteriorates. Housing costs rise, and public schools remain mediocre despite spending more than $36,000 per pupil last year, the highest in the nation among major school districts,” Zakaria added.
Zakaria ripped California and New York for blowing money on failed government solutions to homelessness and public transportation.
“California has spent $24 billion on homelessness over five years, yet the problem has only worsened. More is spent per mile on subway construction in New York than in any other city on earth. Each new initiative layers another bureaucracy atop the last,” Zakaria added.
Zakaria also called out New York for their ridiculous zoning laws and which turned city streets into havens for criminals and pushed out business owners.
“Nothing captures urban America’s normalized dysfunction more vividly than the miles of rusting scaffolding that hang over New York City sidewalks. They transform public spaces into dim, dirty tunnels that harbor crime and drive away commerce. No other major city looks like this. Not London, not Paris, not Rome, though they all have buildings that are centuries older,” Zakaria continued.
“The primary culprit is a 1980 safety law that spawned an industry of contractors and consultants. Every mayor vows reform. None succeeds. Eric Adams tried with little success. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he’ll try, too, but his plan is a complicated melange of expedited reviews and new rules, the quintessential Democratic response. Process without progress,” Zakaria concluded.
Democrats are going all in on the Epstein files and other anti-Trump hoaxes because affordability is the number one issue for voters, and Democrats want to avoid, at all costs, a debate on the issue because even their allies in the media admit Democrats are to blame.
