Shortly after President Donald Trump addressed a Joint Session of Congress for the first time since taking the oath of office, CNN's Van Jones called one particularly moving moment from the speech the real estate mogul's most presidential to date.
Less than an hour after Trump honored the widow of a slain NAVY Seal, the Democratic commentator suggested that the commander in chief had officially begun to look the part.
"He became President of the United States in that moment, period," said Jones, after the evening's most emotional point was replayed by CNN's Anderson Cooper.
"That was one of the most extraordinary moments you have ever seen in American politics," Jones added.WHAT?
I must be unbelievably cynical...but seriously, what made that moment so extraordinary? Reading out a pre-prepared tribute to a grieving widow? It was a touching moment, but more because of her rather than him.
