President Trump has issued a statement on the passing of CNN founder Ted Turner, and it is quite different from other deaths of noted rich liberals.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Turner, the left-wing billionaire who founded CNN, died today at the age of 87.

In addition to founding CNN, Turner was a prominent philanthropist who once donated $1 billion to the United Nations. Turner also gave $1.3 million to Democrats and Democratic causes throughout his life.

No cause of death has been revealed yet, but Turner announced in 2018 that he had Lewy body dementia, a progressive brain disorder.

Turner was also hospitalized early last year with pneumonia before recovering at a rehabilitation facility.

Trump responded to Turner’s passing with grace, despite their political differences. He noted Turner’s mark on the media landscape while also stating the CNN founder had hated everything his “baby” had become.

Trump also called Turner a good friend who was always there when he needed him.

Ted Turner, one of the Greats of All Time, just died. He founded CNN, sold it, and was personally devastated by the Deal because the new ownership took CNN, his “baby,” and destroyed it.

It became woke, and everything that he is not all about.

Maybe the new buyers, wonderful people, will be able to bring it back to its former credibility and glory. Regardless, however, one of the Greats of Broadcast History, and a friend of mine.

Whenever I needed him, he was there, always willing to fight for a good cause! President DONALD J. TRUMP

Last December, Trump created a firestorm over his reaction to the grisly murder of leftist Hollywood Director Rob Reiner and his wife, Michele.

For years, Reiner had attacked President Trump as “mentally unfit for office” and floated all of the lefty conspiracy theories about Russia collusion.

“A very sad thing happened last night in Hollywood. Rob Reiner, a tortured and struggling, but once very talented movie director and comedy star, has passed away, together with his wife, Michele, reportedly due to the anger he caused others through his massive, unyielding, and incurable affliction with a mind-crippling disease known as TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, sometimes referred to as TDS, Trump wrote on Truth Social.

Trump is anything but predictable when it comes to reacting to the deaths of those he disagrees with on political issues.
