Tapper interviewed trump this morning

Trump agreed to appear with Tapper only to talk about Graham's death, apparently. So Tapper tried to get him to come back another time to talk about other issues.

Tapper: I know you don't want to talk about other issues out of respect for Lindsay Graham, but we would love to have you back sometime because I do have a lot of other questions.
Trump: Sure. We're trying to have CNN go on a normal path.
Tapper: I'm on a normal path right here, sir.
Trump: Good. You are.

How embarrassing for CNN and Tapper.

and that's a serious problem. How can we entrust the sacred role of journalist to someone who looks old?

When trump gives him his marching orders to be "normal" (and we know what that means), he assures trump he is normal and then trump praises him.

and deserves to be relegated to the Tabloids. Hey Jake! You now who's still alive? Joe Biden! How are your boys Mitch and Lindsey doing? You preparing a nice piece honoring their noble careers in the service of democracy?

It’s clear he’ll toe the line when the time comes.

Btw. I actually read his shitty book so you didn’t have to. It read like trash written for a ten year old. For a book that got so much publicity it didn’t even reveal anything new or interesting. Just a whiny and bitter ass hole who likely didn’t get the access he wanted.

Lindsay Graham's death, the war with Iran and the failure of Trump's state fair is all Biden's fault?
