(7,006 posts)Mr. Lord, a veteran of the Reagan White House, became CNNs first paid pro-Trump contributor in July 2015. Mr. Trump, then a long-shot Republican candidate, had recommended Mr. Lord after complaining that the networks panelists all seemed to dislike him. (CNN said it had already been considering Mr. Lord for a job.).
At the time, Mr. Lord was living with his mother and occasionally writing magazine pieces. Soon, he was ubiquitous on television, admired by Mr. Trumps supporters as a rare mainstream voice for their candidate, and ridiculed by others for unwavering praise of him
A 64-Year-Old Man was LIVING WITH HIS MOTHER and writing OCCASSIONAL magazine pieces -- before being "hired" by CNN. Seriously. Also, a 64-Year-Old Man, living with his Mommy, was "recommended" by Trump to CNN, to give him "Praise" on CNN.
Let that settle in for a moment.....`
