CNN abruptly halted for breaking news in humiliating blow to Trump: 'It's wrong'

CNN was halted for some breaking news about American President Donald Trump's latest move - but presenter Erin Burnett slammed the politician's actions as she said: "It's wrong".

She explained that Trump had made his way to for an overseas trip, where he is set to meet with officials who reportedly gifted him a $400 million (£303m) jet. It is aptly named "The Palace in the Sky". Upon receiving the generous gift, Trump said that it was a "great gesture from Qatar" and he "appreciates it very much".

Explaining why he accepted it, he added: "I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer. I mean, I could be the stupid person and say 'no, we don't want a free, very expensive aeroplane'. But, I thought it was a great gesture."

However, the CNN presenter thought it was a terrible idea as she described it as the "modern definition of a Trojan horse." Erin continued: "It is worth pointing out that the Qutaris have given out this exact same plane model before as well in 2018, which was given to the President of Turkey."

Hitting out at Trump's decision to accept the offer, the news host said: "Let's be honest here, the President of the United States has no business accepting a plane for anything and from anyone. It is not political.

"Because this is something that is actually an easy call. It's wrong. But Trump's team will circle the wagons, it seems, on pretty much anything."

The show then cut to the White House's press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, who was asked if Qatar would "want something in return" for the jet. She replied: "Absolutely not, because they know President Trump and they know he only works with the interests of the American public in mind."

Back in the CNN studio, Erin hit out once more as she scathingly said: "Well, that defense is not flying, even with some of Trump's staunch supporters."

She asked: "So who is going to look into this? Who is going to tell Trump in his inner circle that this is wrong and stand up on this one?"
