All the networks in the “big three” praised President Obama, during their evening shows on Tuesday, for taking the presumptive GOP nominee to task on how to fight the War on Terror. They all talked about Obama’s takedown in glowing terms, while pointing out how Donald Trump’s strategy breeds hate. NBC even saluted the Democratic Party for putting Obama and Hillary Clinton together to fight Trump.
Kicking off his report on World News Tonight ABC’s Jon Karl stated, “Today, an impassioned President Obama sought to dismantle and discredit Donald Trump's entire approach to fighting terrorism.” Karl even praised Obama for who he had standing behind him, General Joseph F. Dunford, “In an unprecedented move, he had the nation's top military official by his side as he labeled Trump's ideas un-American.”
“The sharp rebuke coming at almost the same time as Hillary Clinton delivered her own shots today, at times sounding like they were reading from the same script,” applauded NBC’s Kristen Welker on Nightly News, “The tag team, a preview of the onslaught Trump is facing in the fall.”
