CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Jim Acosta is the major reason why people no longer consider the network a serious source of news. He grandstands, postures, and tries to make every story about himself, plus he’s punk-ass agitator with zero interest in fair reporting or journalistic standards. At a press conference today, Acosta was being his usual weasely self, pestering the President, and Trump finally had enough. After Acosta shoved a White House staffer, Trump absolutely savaged the fake newsman and it’s the funniest thing you’ve seen in a long time.
FULL EXCHANGE: Trump vs. @Acosta

Acosta was trying to paint Trump as a racist for enforcing our nation’s immigration laws with a long rambling question.
“Do you think that you’ve demonized immigrants?” Acosta asked rhetorically.
Trump responded that he wants immigrants to come here legally and that set Acosta off. He finally accused Trump of bigotry because the President ran an ad which showed illegal immigrants climbing over a wall to sneak into this country.
“Your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on. They’re not going to be doing that,” said Acosta.
“That’s true. They weren’t actors. Do you think they were actors? They weren’t actors, they didn’t come from Hollywood,” replied Trump.
Acosta just kept going so Trump finally interrupted him.
“I think you should let me run the country. You run CNN and if you did it well your ratings would be much better,” zinged Trump.
At this point Acosta had been asking questions for a couple of minutes and Trump had enough of him. As Trump informed Acosta his time was up, the fake newser kept going, prompting Trump to scold, “That’s enough.”
Nevertheless, he persisted. Acosta kept trying to ask questions and a female White House staffer tried to take the microphone from him. In a moment that would get anyone else fired on the spot, Acosta pushed this young woman and snatched the mic away from her.
Acosta started asking about Russian collusion to which Trump called it a “hoax” and told him to sit down. While he was distracted the White House staffer quickly grabbed the microphone back. Acosta eventually say down but still kept talking.
And then this happened.
“CNN should be ashamed of having you working for them. You are a rude terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” said Trump.
Of course Acosta kept flapping his gums, so Trump had more.
“You are a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people [is] horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way,” said Trump.
The President finally got to call on another reporter who started out defending Jim Acosta and Trump got him as well.
“In Jim’s defense, I’ve travelled with him and he’s a diligent reporter,” said the reporter.
“Well, I’m not a big fan of yours either. You aren’t the best,” Trump shot back.
Then, Acosta stood back up and started arguing with Trump again.
“Just sit down, please. When you report fake news, which CNN does, you are the enemy of the people,” Trump said.
Trump was taking ‘em down left and right and they definitely deserved it. The liberal media of course will report this as Trump attacking the free press and destroying democracy. Jim Acosta will jump on Twitter and give one of his “Dear Diary” sob stories that that the President was mean to him. Nobody in the fake news will however call Acosta out for getting physical with the female staffer, because that’s a thing that would only be outrageous if a Fox News reporter did it.
