CNN anchor Chris Cuomo broke down why he believes President Donald Trump often chooses to “get ahead of the facts,” or just ignore them completely.

The “Cuomo Prime Time” host explained Monday how, and why, it was all about political gain.

But it came at a price, he argued.

“His relationship with the facts means that he’s often strong when he should be soft, and soft when he needs to stand strong,” Cuomo said.
