Former Obama Aide Says Trump Should Thank Past Presidents on Iran, CNN Commentator Sets Her Straight – RedState
Johanna Maska, longtime assistant for Barack Obama, suggested that the Trump administration shares her current foreign policy in Iran with the former presidents.
CNN’s main political commentator, Jennings, gently reminded him that it was good occasion to give Trump a credit for something.
The exchange took place during a round table on “CNN Newsnight with Abby Phillip” on Monday, when the host wondered if he could be too early to take a victory tour on the ceasefire between Israel and Iran.
Jennings was not inaugurated, announcing that it would be happy to take this turn.
“No. I will be happy to take one,” he said. “What he did is a courageous decision.”
“Today is a big day for America. It is a big day for Western civilization.”
Maska jumped to take shade with President Trump by taking the merit of an operation which was, in his mind, several administrations in preparation. Which means that it ignores the fact that, although the former presidents certainly have it speak About the cessation of nuclear ambitions of Iran, Trump was the only one to have the courage to take action.
“Scott, my problem is that the Trump administration takes a victory tour as if they were the only ones to have planned this. And I understand that he took action, but this action was planned by the army for several administrations,” said Maska.
An exasperated Jennings offered this advice: “So, sometimes, sometimes, the right answer is:” Good job, President Trump. Well done “. Sometimes it’s the right answer. »»

Scott Jennings again embarrassed the Democrats – and this time, all he had to do was let them speak
Regarding a victory tour on the ceasefire may be premature, there may be some credibility. The Middle East is a notorious tinder box in which any minor disagreement could trigger new attacks. And, in fact, it has already been reported that Iran has violated the ceasefire.
But by learning that the president probably decimated Iran’s ability to develop a nuclear weapon, brought together two nations at war to bring peace in less than two weeks, and could have triggered a domino effect leading to peace elsewhere, the appropriate response is, as Scott said, “ good job, President Trump. Well played. ‘
Jennings knew that the Democrats of the Panel would not be able to offer positive comments concerning Trump. He even tried to provide advice Before The show.
“I am not used to helping them, but before each Democrat was on television this evening to kiss, here is a better answer: Trump was right. Good job, Mr. President,” Jennings wrote on X. “will avoid a lot of problems and stupid video clips.”
I am not used to helping them, but before each democrat speaks on television tonight to bother, here is a better answer:
Trump was right. Good work, Mr. President.
You will avoid a lot of stupid problems and video clips.

Maska jumped and provided an immediate stupid clip. Should have followed the advice.
Do you want Obama, that of renowned cash pallets via the Iranian nuclear “deal”, obtaining credit for the end of Iran’s nuclear ambitions? Do you want Biden, whose ineffective diplomacy and the application of softening sanctions allowed Iran to continue their program, to obtain credit?
In which alternative universe do we live?
A more reasonable approach was adopted by Brett McGurk, the coordinator of the National Security Council for the Middle East and North Africa during the presidency of Biden, who offered surprising praise and optimism for Trump and his management of the Iranian conflict.
“In the end, this is the best place possible,” said McGurk. “I give extremely high notes to this national security team and President Trump to manage this crisis and arrive where we are.”
In other words, “good work, the president”.
