CNN’s Jake Tapper questioned Trump for not sharing a plan on how they plan to supply hospitals with the necessary equipment. However, CNN has also fallen under fire by critics who claim the network isn’t broadcasting the full daily White House briefing.
CNN’s Tapper suggests Trump is not “sharing a plan” with the American people while, at the same time, the network appears to not air Trump’s remarks.

Commentary and Opinion from Trending Politics:
Sadly, CNN viewers didn’t see it because the network is censoring is words every single day.
So, how can Jake Tapper sit there with a straight face and tell his audience that Trump has “no plan” when his network won’t even broadcast the things he has to say?
