CNN is reporting that Trump called them (Jim Acosta) fake news and walks off.

Trump lashing out when things aren't going his way again.

Acosta strives to make himself the news, which is not the job of a professional journalist. You would think Acosta would be an embarrassment to his network, but he works for CNN so I guess not.

White House Corespondent actually said this?

What an airhead.


(Trump should have answered.... "I don't know....can you?")

Hahah.."lashing out"? Well sure, if you consider the President telling off a idiot yellow journalist to get bent as "lashing out". I think you are overselling it a bit (not surprising) and remind me again, what was "not going his way"?

I don't think that I'm overselling it at all. Trump could have just walked off and pay Acosta no mind. But no he feeds off of this stuff further stooping to lower and lower levels.

As for not getting his way, this entire weekends response was a disaster from him. Folks on both sides of the else are in agreeance on this one. Yet he goes after a reporter when a question he cares not to answer is asked.

I always laugh when I hear Trump make these statements about fake news because he is so blatantly dishonest and he owes his election in great part to fake news propagated by his Russian cohorts.

Trump will do anything to discredit the media because he does not want to be held accountable, and at any rate, in Trump's mind, truth is malleable.

Trump's presidential reality show should be called The Lyin' King.

He is such a weak president that he is unable to handle a normal press conference with Q and A.

Just watch Jim Acosta as he smugly sits there, that little smirk always on his face, like a school kid out to make a name for himself around the place. He is in his element now , the guard is down and his real side is there for all to see. Little does he realize, most people would be hitting the bottle hard, if they had to take on the role he so gleefully accepts in the name of taking down Trump.

Sure-if Trump did that, I can just imagine your headline:

"Crybaby Trump retreated in fear after heroic reporter asked him a simple question".

Am I right?
