Donald Trump, who insists he doesn’t watch CNN but talks often about the things he sees on the network, had a compliment Thursday night for CNN’s John King.
“I like him on the maps,” Trump said, in an apparent reference to King’s longstanding role as master of the Magic Wall.
But Trump was quick to note he’s hardly a King—or CNN—fan. In fact, he’s “the enemy”:
[h/t Real Clear Politics]And I saw today that someone on CNN –the Clinton News Network– who knows nothing about us, you know they use John King. I like him on the maps! I like him now a little bit better than I used to, a couple of months ago I had no chance, but now all of a sudden that map is starting to see a lot of red…
But John King said [I was jealous of Mike Pence]. You know, they always have a source. Nobody talks to him, because he’s like, the enemy.
