CNN's Cuomo Calls Trump 'On-Demand Demagogue,' Says 'America at Her Best...Leads With Her Heart, Not Her Hate'

During Friday's edition of Cuomo PrimeTime, host Chris Cuomo compared President Obama and President Trump, who had both made speeches earlier in the day attempting to convince Americans to support their respective visions for the country in the midterm election. Cuomo attempted to portray himself as a neutral arbiter by asking his audience, "Which is better? You tell me."  The way he covered both of their speeches made it perfectly clear which side of the aisle he lines up with. He described President Trump as an "on-demand demagogue who can sell his version of reality as only a reality show star can."  He also described "Make America Great Again" as a suggestion "to go back, not forward." He contrasted President Trump's worldview with that of President Obama, whose vision he described as "bridges, not walls, seek common ground, not common enemies. Diversity is a source of strength, not a source of suspicion. Progress, not regress." He ended with a veiled swipe at President Trump saying "America at her best by her nature leads with her heart, not her hate." Cuomo surely sees America's heart represented by President Obama and its "hate" represented by President Trump.
