Trump takes aim at 'loser’ CNN anchor Abby Phillip but she wins hearts with polite reply: ‘Proud of you!’

WASHINGTON, DC: CNN anchor Abby Phillip took to X to reply to Donald Trump in the politest way after the president called her out on Truth Social.

On Friday, June 27, Trump slammed the news anchor after she reportedly attributed a recent stock market surge to his backing down from his tariff threats.

Abby Phillip cites Jason Furman’s argument while discussing economics

During her Friday night’s edition of ‘CNN NewsNight’, she told her panel — Scott Jennings, Ashley Allison, Mike Leon, Stacey Schneider, and Joel Rubin — that “Scott offered one explanation for the highs in the stock market. There are other explanations. Here’s one from Jason Furman, an economist.”

“The macro economy is doing decently. He said, especially when it comes to tariffs, the market is now more confident that Trump will back off if necessary. He added in April, I think the fear was that he would just plow ahead no matter what,” she noted.

“Now, there is a sense that there are realities that he won’t try to blow past,” Phillip said, as per MEDIA ITE.

In her statement, she also stated that "maybe you could argue that this is a negotiating tactic that is working, fine. But the truth is Trump is, in fact, backing down and the markets have calmed because of that."

Trump says Abby Phillip has ‘no idea what she is talking about’

Soon after the program, Trump took to his Truth Social account and wrote, “Where does CNN get its ‘talent?’ Just watched someone named Abby Phillip lecture her audience on Tariffs and the economy (which is doing record business!).”

“She has absolutely no idea what she is talking about, strictly 3rd rate. Fortunately, the audience has long ago left CNN, and it will only get WORSE. LOSERS ALL!!!” he added.

Phillip also did not take much time to respond as she shared, “Thank you for watching Mr. President.”

Her calm reply immediately went viral, with people praising her.
