CNN’s White House correspondent Jim Acosta is a grandstanding clown who once met President Trump’s “fake news” tag with “We are real news, Mr President.” CNN of course is the anti-Trump network that constantly attacks the President with false stories and partisan opinion passed off as hard news, so there really isn’t a faker news outlet than them. Acosta held the company line by accusing the President of being a big fat liar after he wrote an op/ed piece in which the information is 100% verifiably true. This is what CNN is reduced to: calling Trump a liar when he tells the truth.
President Trump wrote an opinion piece for USA Today calling out the democrats for the leftist lunatics they are:
The Democrats want to outlaw private health care plans, taking away freedom to choose plans while letting anyone cross our border. We must win this.
Throughout the year, we have seen Democrats across the country uniting around a new legislative proposal that would end Medicare as we know it and take away benefits that seniors have paid for their entire lives.
Dishonestly called “Medicare for All,” the Democratic proposal would establish a government-run, single-payer health care system that eliminates all private and employer-based health care plans and would cost an astonishing $32.6 trillion during its first 10 years.
And:
The truth is that the centrist Democratic Party is dead. The new Democrats are radical socialists who want to model America’s economy after Venezuela.
If Democrats win control of Congress this November, we will come dangerously closer to socialism in America. Government-run health care is just the beginning. Democrats are also pushing massive government control of education, private-sector businesses and other major sectors of the U.S. economy.
Every single citizen will be harmed by such a radical shift in American culture and life. Virtually everywhere it has been tried, socialism has brought suffering, misery and decay.
And:
Indeed, the Democrats’ commitment to government-run health care is all the more menacing to our seniors and our economy when paired with some Democrats’ absolute commitment to end enforcement of our immigration laws by abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement. That means millions more would cross our borders illegally and take advantage of health care paid for by American taxpayers.
Today’s Democratic Party is for open-borders socialism. This radical agenda would destroy American prosperity.
I guess Jim Acosta went 5 minutes without anyone paying attention to him so he panic tweeted this in response to the President’s op/ed:
This column may break the record for the number of falsehoods from a President ever published in a newspaper op-Ed. Just this tweet alone is false – “outlaw private health care plans” and “letting anyone cross our border” Huh? Fact check: false and false. Come on USA Today. https://t.co/1SPKMztmJL

It’s interesting that Acosta doesn’t deny that democrats are trying to turn the US into a socialist country, isn’t it? As for his fact-checks however, they are absolute bullshit.
Socialist kook Bernie Sanders’ “medicare for All” plan literally says: “it shall be unlawful for a private health insurer to sell health insurance coverage that duplicates the benefits provided under this Act.” That sure sounds like it would outlaw private health insurance plans to me and to anyone who doesn’t work for CNN. Fact check: Jim Acosta is a jackass.
Next, Acosta calls “false” on Trump’s claim that democrats want to let anyone into this country, which again is complete load. Prominent democrats like Kristin Gillibrand and Elizabeth Warren have joined in the liberal chorus of abolishing ICE, the agency that enforces our immigration laws. Democrats are also for amnesty and sanctuary cities, but the fact that they want to get rid of immigration enforcement shows they want to let “anyone cross our border.” Stay with me, Jim: If there is no immigration enforcement that means there is nothing stopping anyone from crossing our border or being here illegally.
Normally fake news involves reporting baseless rumors as facts but here Jim Acosta is saying that things that are true are false. It doesn’t get any faker than that.
