CNN‘s black sheep and resident MAGA supporter, Scott Jennings, had a hilarious reaction to President Trump’s recent tariffs that sunk the stock market.
Jennings, a frequent conservative contributor on the network, joined anchor John Berman on Friday’s broadcast of CNN News Central with Meghan Hays, a Democratic strategist, to sound off on the impact of Trump’s tariffs.
At the end of the segment, the stock market ticker was displayed on the screen near Jennings, who hid under the table in an effort to escape it.
Berman jokingly apologized to Jennings for having the stock market ticker in front of him on screen.
‘Why didn’t you put it by Meghan? Can we just shove it to the other side of the screen? I don’t understand. I feel like you did this on purpose,’ Jennings joked.
One thing we do know is that people thinking about buying a car or large appliances are shopping now before the prices go up.
Berman coyly responded that moving the ticker to the other side of the screen won’t change the problem for Republicans.
When the camera panned out, the ticker was still positioned near Jennings and Berman joked that it was ‘following’ him.
‘Literally! Let me just get down here,’ Jennings responded as he hid under the table to escape the plummeting stock market.
