As reported earlier, President Trump owned CNN’s Jim Acosta after the reporter asked why a press conference was not being held following the deadly Charlottesville protests. Acosta asked if he could ask him questions and the President zinged him! “I like real news, not fake news – you’re fake news,” President Trump said.

Acosta thought he hit a home run when he quickly replied to the President’s humiliating zinger. He rattled off a low energy response and Trump supporters digitally destroyed him.

CNN’s Jim Acosta sent out a tweet after President Trump slammed him for being fake news. He said, “As the president was walking out, I responded that he has spread plenty of fake news himself.”
