Donald Trump Delivers Brutal Takedown After Jeff Zucker Resigns From ‘Real-News-Challenged’ CNN

The 45th President Donald Trump delivered a brutal takedown after CNN president Jeff Zucker resigned today.

In a statement released through his Save America PAC, Trump declared, “Jeff Zucker, a world-class sleezebag, who has headed ratings and real-news-challenged CNN for far too long, has been terminated for numerous reasons, but predominantly because CNN has lost its way with viewers and everybody else.”

“Now is a chance to put Fake News in the backseat because there may not be anything more important than straightening out the LameStream Media in our Country, and in the case of CNN, throughout the world,” Trump explained.

Trump concluded by stressing, “Jeff Zucker is gone—congratulations to all!”

Zucker issued a memo where he announced his resignation, which he claimed was due to an undisclosed romantic relationship with another senior executive at the company.

“As part of the investigation into Chris Cuomo’s tenure at CNN, I was asked about a consensual relationship with my closest colleague, someone I have worked with for more than 20 years,” Zucker began.

Zucker continued, “I acknowledged the relationship evolved in recent years. I was required to disclose it when it began but I didn’t. I was wrong. As a result, I am resigning today.”

Allison Gollust released a statement confirming that she was the colleague who was in the relationship with Zucker.

Gollust, who previously worked as former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s communications director, acknowledged, “Jeff and I have been close friends and professional partners for over 20 years. Recently our relationship changed during COVID.”

Zucker concluded his statement by claiming that during his nine years at CNN, “it was an amazing run,” and that he was “grateful” and wished everyone at CNN “the best.”
