Trump: Biden selling border wall materials 'almost a criminal act'
President-elect Donald Trump ripped the Biden administration for selling border wall materials while delivering remarks from Mar-a-Lago, vowing to deliver 'prosperity' ahead of his second term.
Former Obama adviser Van Jones said during a recent interview that President-elect Donald Trump was smarter than himself and all of his critics.
"Guys, can we cut it out? Donald Trump is not an idiot. Let me just be very clear. Donald Trump is smarter than me, you, and all of his critics. You know how I know? Because he has the White House, the Senate, the House, the Supreme Court, the popular vote," Jones said.
Jones was asked by former CNN reporter Chris Cilizza during an interview on his YouTube channel about Trump's successful presidential campaign.
"He has a massive media ecosystem bigger than the mainstream built around him, and for him, and a religious fervor in a political movement around him. And his best buddy is the richest person in the history of the world, and the most relevant Kennedy is with him," Jones added.

Jones said Trump was the most powerful person of our lifetimes and argued the Democratic Party looked like "idiots."
"We're the idiots," he said. "We lost. So we have to go back in the locker room and we have to sit down and figure out how in the hell did we get beat, and when you look at it closely, it's the arrogance, it's the elitism, it's not respecting people, it's not listening to people."
