CNN's Bolduan Bummed Out by NATO Secretary General Refusing to Slam Trump

They try. Oh how they try.

It seems that whenever CNN has NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on as a guest, the conversation eventually steers toward getting him to criticize Trump. They attempted this pathetic shtick in January when Poppy Harlow tried to elicit a slam against Trump from Stoltenberg but got only praise for Trump from the Secretary General.

You would think CNN would have learned from this but noooo. They repeated themselves on Monday during News Central. Host Kate Bolduan kicked off the interview by asking Stoltenberg about Sweden becoming the latest member of NATO and then the conversation turned to Ukraine. However, as we later found out, Bolduan really only had one primary agenda for the interview... getting an Orange Man Bad quote from the NATO Secretary General. And just like with Poppy Harlow she ended up sorely disappointed with the response.

The SG isn't stupid enough to slam the guy who may soon be the leader of the most important member of NATO, especially given Trump's propensity for taking everything personally.  He's much more likely to flatter him as a means to make him more supportive of the alliance.
