Former Gov. Jennifer Granholm (D-MI) was taken aback by the idea that President Donald Trump is setting up a war room to navigate the Russia scandal. She told CNNs David Gregory on New Day that normally such war rooms are for policy related issues.
Governors have war rooms. I set up war rooms because we had a national blackout or the auto industry was going into bankruptcy, she explained. You have a war room for a specific crisis. In this case, the war room is because the president created the crisis. Hes not listening in the war to his generals. He is creating the problem, hes created essentially a circular firing squad although hes the one pulling the trigger. That is not a great way to do a staff shakeup.
Granholm went on to encourage Trump to set up a war room to combat serious issues facing the country, such as the opioid crisis, creating jobs or navigating the global economy. She called Trumps RussiaGate war room a waste of human resources focusing on himself and not the country.
Conservative commentator Ben Ferguson refuted Granholm by claiming that the war room doesnt exist and that reports of one existing are fake news. The story has been widely reported based on leaks from Trumps own allies.
