CNN's Axelrod Compares Trump to 'Nero While the West Burns'

During Friday's edition of New Day, CNN Senior Political Commentator and former Obama confidante David Axelrod compared President Trump to Nero while complaining about the President's reversal of Obama-era environmental policies.  After declaring with a straight face that he did not care about the Obama legacy, Axelrod effectively blamed the Trump administration's roll-back of Obama-era environmental policies for the wildfires plaguing California and compared the President to the tyrannical Roman emperor: "I mean you look at these wildfires. I mean Trump is literally Nero while the west burns."
