A CNN commentator on Thursday slammed President Trump Donald John TrumpBiden on Trump's refusal to commit to peaceful transfer of power: 'What country are we in?'

Phil Mudd, a CNN counterintelligence analyst and former deputy director of the CIA's Counterterrorist Center, predicted that the U.S. would not pull funding from countries like Egypt, which helps the U.S. combat terrorists, for its participation in the United Nations vote demanding the Trump administration rescind its Jerusalem decision.

"Do you think the president’s going to get on the phone and say because of one vote that’s non-binding in the U.N. we’re going to back down on our partnership with you as you kill ISIS partners in Egypt? That is not going to happen," Mudd said on CNN.

"Let me be blunt here, Wolf. This is diplomatic prostitution," Mudd told host Wolf Blitzer. "We're telling people, unless you vote with us, we're not going to give you money and if your heart doesn't agree with American policies we're not going to support you in terms of U.S. aid."

"It’s not going to happen. The Americans aren’t going to do it, and the president’s not going to back it up.”
