Cartel shows respect for Trump?
...
In a jaw-dropping interview aired Saturday, CNN faced widespread mockery after a Sinaloa Cartel member expressed admiration for President Donald Trump, undermining the network’s apparent attempt to portray the drug lord as a victim of the president’s tough-on-crime policies.
The segment, filmed in a clandestine Mexican hideout, was meant to highlight the cartel’s reaction to Trump’s designation of the group as terrorists, part of his aggressive campaign to curb the deadly fentanyl flood into the United States.
Instead, the gangster’s response bolstered Trump’s image as a leader protecting American interests.
“According to the Trump Administration, you are a terrorist … What do you make of that?” CNN’s Isobel Yeung asked the masked Sinaloa Cartel member. The gangster, shrouded in a face covering, sunglasses, and latex gloves, replied, “Well, the situation is ugly but we have to eat.”
When pressed on what he would say to Trump, he added, “My respect. According to him, he’s looking out for his people. But the problem is the consumers are in the United States. If there weren’t any consumers we would stop.”

“CNN is in full meltdown mode. All their usual smear tactics have failed—again. So what’s their next brilliant move? Interviewing the freaking Sinaloa Cartel,” one person posted on X.
“They were clearly hoping for a ‘Trump is evil’ soundbite. Instead? Total backfire.” Another user quipped, “Not the answer the Communist News Network wanted.”
...
The Cartel member appears to be more self-aware than the CNN newsman. Why in the world would a newsman portray a drug organization as a victim? The network should be as interested in stopping the flow of deadly drugs as the president is. Trump should be praised for his attempt to keep deadly drugs out of the country.
