Speaking to Anderson Cooper as Tuesday, November 5, turned into Wednesday, November 6, as Trump rose dramatically in the polls and looked positioned to win the swing states he needed for a decisive victory, particularly Wisconsin and Pennsylvania, Jake Tapper admitted that Trump’s political comeback might be the greatest in American political history.

Tapper said, commenting on the matter to Cooper and admitting that this was a very, very big deal: “It is hard to think of a political comeback that is actually more significant than this one. I’m tempted to say Richard Nixon, but that really falls short of what Donald Trump has achieved.”

Mario Nawfal, a conservative and pro-Trump X (formerly Twitter) personality and news commentator, drew attention to the momentous clip and awesome admission in a post, characterizing Tapper’s comments as, “🚨🇺🇸CNN: TRUMP’S COMEBACK IS THE GREATEST IN HISTORY.”

Commenters on Mario’s post joked about how much the admission must have pained the two far-left men, saying things like, “They are both hurting so much saying this 😂😂,” “They have entered the survival mode,” “They doesn’t seem happy,” “They look like they are about to cry,” and “They look sad 😆”

Others commented on what Trump’s election could mean for the country, saying things like, “Trump is back with a historic victory, hopefully he will learn from his mistakes and move the world forward with him” and “The era of irrelevant Legacy Laimstream Media is gone; it’s time to shift gears and embrace modern free speech platforms like X!”

Still others commented on Tapper’s take and what it means for him, saying things like, “at least CNN will get more content that will allow them to escape bankruptcy. hopefully they still go to zero” and “That’s a bold take! Hard to imagine anyone topping Nixon’s drama, but Trump definitely brings his own flair to the comeback game!”

Also commenting on the matter was comedian and filmmaker Eric Abbenante, who said, “Jake Tapper admits to Anderson Cooper that Donald Trump’s comeback was the greatest in political history, beating Richard Nixon: Remember when these morons were trying to convince you that Kamala was going to win Iowa? Ann Selzer ended her career tonight over one pay out. Sad.”

And joining in the fun was an account that goes by “American Archer.” That account joked that Trump had won so well that even the two woke CNN hosts couldn’t help but compliment him, saying, “Holy crap, even Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper are now complimenting Donald Trump. ‘This is the greatest comeback in history.’”

Another X account, the news-focused “Resist the Mainstream,” commented on Jake Tapper’s big admission and wrote, “🚨 CNN’s Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper ADMIT Trump’s victory is the GREATEST COMEBACK IN POLITICAL HISTORY. Do you think they will change?”

Still another account, not referencing Tapper but arguing much the same point about Trump making a huge comeback, said, “It’s not the setback that defines you, it’s the comeback. And Donald Trump just pulled off the single greatest political comeback in American history.”
