CNN: Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow attacking Trump

for his premature statement concerning the explosion in NYC. Highly critical of him making statement about a "bomb" and that "we need to get very tough" before any statement on cause from authorities.

Questioning his ability to serve as Commander in Chief.

I think things have turned as far as the way he is going to be covered for the remainder of this election.

I remember how Romney immediately jumped in to politicize Benghazi in 2012 and how that didn't work out well for him. I figured that Trump would immediately jump in front of the cameras about this and I was not mistaken.

. . . that the worm may finally have turned concerning Trump's fawning press coverage. Who knows? Maybe the media members are finally realizing that living in a world with this unqualified dolt in office won't really be the whopping good time they seem to have believed, to this point, that it will be. There's a lot to be said for measured responses to a crisis or domestic or world event of any kind, for discipline, for waiting for the facts to come in before spewing out a Twitter-ready, ill-informed "take." Most such events are complex and have many layers. Popping off instantaneously about them is completely unpresidential. Media members: please take note.

Not to mention the fact that it looks very suspicious
that Trump seems to know it's a bomb before any official word.
At best, sloppy and irresponsible, at worst, he's connected somehow.
