CNN’s Scott Jennings: Trump Transition ‘Most Entertaining’ Ever

CNN’s Scott Jennings said on Wednesday that watching the picks that President-elect Donald Trump has selected for his new administration have made the current transition “the most entertaining” one that he has ever seen.

Jennings made the remarks on the network’s “News Central” show as Trump made a slew of announcements late in the afternoon, including Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) for U.S. Attorney General.

“Are you not entertained?” Jennings asked. “I mean, this is the most entertaining transition I’ve ever seen. I was as surprised as Paula because it was not a name we have seen. We have seen some reporting, a lot of different names, frankly a lot of sort of well-heeled Washington legal types that were on the list. So, I’m as surprised as anyone.”

“But what I take away from this is that this is a president-elect who is feeling his power,” he continued. “This is someone who is appointing people to things, whether it is Gaetz or anyone else we have seen today, who is feeling his influence, doesn’t feel like he’s in a mood to negotiate with people in Washington, D.C. He’s here to do what he wants to do, and he is going to expect the Republicans to fall in line.”

Jennings noted that Trump’s picks will have to go through confirmation hearings to “prove themselves like anyone else.”

“But it is apparent to me that Trump is in a decisive mood and is not interested in picking things he would consider to be watered-down,” he added.
