CNN host Michael Smerconish sparked debate after stating on his show that Democrats should occasionally “agree with Trump” when he achieves successes that benefit the country.
️ His key point: “When Trump racks up wins for the U.S., it’s okay to acknowledge them… That doesn’t make you MAGA—it makes you honest.”
He cited examples like the Abraham Accords, criminal justice reform, and economic growth pre-COVID, arguing that political polarization often stops leaders from admitting when the “other side” is right.
This comes amid broader calls for less tribalism in politics, with Smerconish urging more issue-based honesty from both parties.
