President Trump and CNN’s Jim Acosta got into a verbal altercation during a contentious press briefing Wednesday.
While asking Trump about a northbound migrant caravan making its way to the southern US border, Acosta challenged Trump’s characterization of the group as an “invasion.”
Acosta asked “Why did you characterize it as such?” to which Trump replied “because I consider it an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion.”
“Do you think that you demonized immigrants?” Acosta shot back.
“Not at all, no – not at all,” Trump replied. “I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. You know, they have to come in Jim through a process. And I want people to come in, and we need the people.”
Acosta then questioned Trump on an midterm advertisement showing “migrants climbing over walls and so-on,” to which Trump fired back: “They weren’t actors.”
After more barbs were exchanged between the two, Trump said: “Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN, and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.”
Acosta then refused to sit down, leading to a standoff in which a White House aide tried to take his microphone.
Trump then dressed down Acosta:
“You know, CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” adding “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible.”
After NBC’s Peter Alexander came to Acosta’s defense, Trump added: “well I’m not a big fan of yours either, to be honest. You aren’t the best.”
Trump should have walked over to Acosta and kicked him in the fuck.
He’s doing his job. Too many so-called reporters settle for whatever, Jimbo is getting the story hot off the griddle. It takes balls to play with the big boys, Stuck. You should know that.
Sure Acosta has balls. Balls that should be kicked by Trump.
balls that should be kicked by every sane, peace loving American.
There’s no balls involved when you know there will not only be no consequences, but you are only increasing your standing in the eyes of the irreverent and hostile leftist Elites.
He’s a cuck for his masters… the opposite of ballsy.
the best you’ve ever posted javelin,+100–
Give him a handjob already, Tampa.
EC can give you some pointers.
He’s been gettin’ wrist icicles from BL for years now.
your the reason BL left ya fag, blow it out your ass.
You are advocating incivility? Ok, yes, Trump should have kicked him in the pussy then.
I’m sure Acosta will stop “doing his job” as soon as we have another Democrat in the White House someday.
EC, if you have a boyfriend who likes to lick your balls because he thinks they’re big, you still really can’t be described as a guy who has “big balls”.
I won’t bother asking my wife (if you have to ask…) However, I had a girlfriend who, ahem, tried to teabag me and she almost choked. I’m ashamed to share that but you provoked me. Jerk, no wonder Stucky thinks your a moron.
stop lying to these poeple you have a little dick thats why we broke up remember?
They need a BIG fucking buck nigger Marine as a bouncer. Get Acosta by the collar and belt – and throw his ass out.
Acosta’s behavior is disgraceful. Trump IS the POTUS and deserves respect.
I always expect Acosta to be a cock sore. The one that blew me away was that rude black lady reporter that he called racist. I am not seeing it being talked about on the media unless my timing is bad. I think they must have wanted to, but her question was racist. They will not ever give him a win if they can help it. I am thrilled shitless to see Trump by himself take on a whole room of enemies as if he wanted them all to himself, “and to hear the lamentations of their women.”
Did you catch how Acosta quickly sat down as Trump stepped away from the podium? Bet numbnut Acosta thought he was about to get smacked. Might have even peed himself a little.
hopefully some guys are still reading this–
i just saw a headline that said acosta has had his white house press pass pulled–
This is why I like the guy, he shuts down the globosorohomo narrative without any regard to “feelings”
“You are a terrible person”
He speaks to these people like they are cockroaches, or flies sitting on dog poop,
and not that nice neat curled poo, I’m talking about that liquishit your dog squirts out, when they are sick and eating grass. The kind of shit that you can’t get off of your boots, without a pressure washer.
am I right?
“You are a terrible person.”
Eggsackly! Nobody calls Trumpy a rude, terrible person when the shoe’s on the other foot. Nobody called the press rude when they hounded Nixon, shit, they even made a movie All The President’s Men with journalists as heroes.
Revoke his WH press priveliges on the grounds of being biased, rude, unfair and arrogantly confrontational.
Let them howl all they want.
Huckabee needs body guards now, as a direct result of that dick.
Fuck that guy. He’s near the top of the list of people who need to have the living shit beat out of him.
He’s near the top of the list of people who need to have the living shit beat out of [them].
Also, Anon, because I’m in a teaching mood, shit is not living. Semen is living. Care to emend your sentence?
Amend, ya moran. lol
Get him, TiT.
Vocab cops fat finger and mispell, too.
bullshit
I meant emend, ya moron

Like a coyote in winter, rearing up and dive bombing a rodent under the snow pack.
Twas a cliche. T’sall.
Thought of you, for some odd reason, while watching Giant last night, from ’56. Liz was fine.
How them Texans treated beaners way back then, if the story was accurate. And the abuse the mix race marriages took.
Good circle of life themes in that flick, tho. Thoughts?
Billy had numbers, like a holocaust denier he said the actual number of people lynched was quite small. Beaners got lynched in TX. Fact o’ life. I don’t trip. It’s called history.
That expression, “beat the living shit out of him” or “stomp the living shit out of him” has a very specific meaning. I had to think about it for a long time to understand the meaning.
Sometimes, when someone is absorbing a beating, he will lose control of his bowels and void the fecal matter-the dead residue of food, dead intestinal bacteria, and toxins-that is normally held in the colon to be de-watered, but is prematurely expelled when the beaten one is reacting to fear and pain.
If the beating is so long and so vicious that the beaten one starts to fear for his life, he will void his entire intestine, big and small, in a spasm of abject fear. The voided shit will include the food that just made it into his small intestine, has not been digested yet, and is sorta still alive.
Folk expressions are strange. Years ago, my niece puzzled me by saying that he daughter had “just done up and moved”, in describing how he daughter had moved from one apartment complex to another. Sometimes, she would say ” He just done up and did it.” I could have just written off what she said as just another East Texas redneck expression, but decided to exercise my mind by puzzling out the meaning.
Use of the word “just” means no other consideration was involved, besides the desire to leave one decaying, poorly maintained apartment in futile hopes of finding something better. Use of the word “done” means the action is already executed. The word “up” means the action was sudden, as in “He suddenly leaped to his feet and punched that stupid bastard right on his ugly nose, like he had been wanting to do for a week.” Of course, the last two words let us know what was actually done- move from one hovel to another; scream loudly at the insanity of life; shoot your worthless brother-in-law between the running lights; move to Mexico to enjoy the good life; etc.
Thanks, Q’antrell for deciphering hillbilly talk for us. What’s the difference between Y’all and You all? All you all?
They use that expression in the south as well.
“He’s near the top of the list of people who need to have the living shit beat out of [them].”
Where I’m from you had better be careful if you refer to someone as someone who needs to have the shit beat out of him. He might have a little .32 stuck in one of his baggy pockets.
Sooo, Trump says we need these people?
We need these people like we need another ‘roid’.
It’s the kinder, gentler Trump train. Right on schedule.
It strikes me as just part of the show. The questions acosta asks are designed to create a given reaction. He knows how trump will react before he asks them. My funniest part of the show was when yamiche (The Refrigerator) alcindor asked that why-don’t-you-like-coons question. I screamed. It’s Big Time Wrestling at it’s very best. And no one knows that business better than the Orange Crusader. The more they feed this bullshit to us rabble the more we battle each other and divert our attention from how utterly immoral and corrupt is the government.
For historic comparison, with numerous differences,
Helen Thomas had WH press briefing access, and was of Lebanese descent, if not mistaken. Vague memories, but she was direct, with Reagan, and perhaps others, repeatedly asking when the US was going to tell a certain small country in the ME to get out of Palestine. Hmmm.
Yes, indeed. Thomas was the real McCoy. I remember her asking questions no one else would ask. I remember her pressing LBJ on the warren report. She humbled obummer’s ass on his ME blunders until THEY railroaded her out of her credentials. An aside: I found myself in an elevator with her in NYC and chided her affectionately on a recent battle she had in the press room with W. She shook with laughter and we traded humorous barbs. She even held the door open long enough for me to get in the last word. I still have that image burned in-that wonderful lady-always dressed in red-laughing as the door closed.
I remember HT asking when Israel was going to “get the hell out of Palestine”. I also remember despising her for it.
I’ve learned a lot since then.
That was what did her in. No place for that truth. She had to go. That told us, although I didn’t realize it at the time, the corporate media had taken over.
The proof is in the pudding. Send that sorry ass POS to interview obamma or hillary. I bet you can hear him lapping at their ass a mile a way. When I was a young’n, I got up early to watch cartoons, figure it”s just a matter of time before CNN is competing with Daffy Duck for laughs.
The proof of the pudding is in the tasting, anon.
Jim Acosta is an asshole!
Kabuki theater.
Nothing else.
America needs more immigrants about as much as it needs more plague, AIDS, tuberculosis, and so on.
Don’t forget leprosy.
Trump’s ratings just went up. Thank you CNN. Trump needs to declare a national emergency because no self-respecting nation can allow the mass media to be taken over by 6 giant corporations that have as their objective not the reporting of news and opinion in a balanced and objective manner, but lying to and deceiving the American people while promoting an agenda of destruction. This is not the role of a free press, this is the role of the corporate/bankster controlled propaganda and subversive MSM. The US does not have a free press. The MSM must be indicted for subversion and sedition, busted up, dispersed and sold off to independent owners. Use anti-trust laws against subversive monopolies…and take NO prisoners.
Trump correctly describes Abilo Acosta. However, it doesn’t explain why he calls on him. The POTUS picks whose questions he will answer. Trump and Sanders should simply call on the sports reporter from the East Podunk Dispatch before he calls on Acosta. If CNN wants a question, they can send a real reporter.
As long as he doesn’t do it to the whole lugenpresse at the same time, no matter how much they deserve it, no foul. If NBC and the NYT are allowed to ask questions, he can’t be credibly called for ducking the media. He can continuously weed out the worst of the worst.
Hokay, Rucy,
I splain.
Trump wants to fully expose the Lamestream Media to the Murican people. He actually wants to help them expose themselves as bigoted hacks and whores working for our enemies. To do so, he needs to let them speak after he has triggered their outrage at not acknowledging their feelings of superiority; he needs all the Murican people to hear them. He wants us to hear them so we can fully see their hypocrasy. We only vaguely understood what they are before Trump started working them.
They hate us, and they are the spokesmen for the people in government who hate us; who hate normal people who lead normal lives. They represent the people in government positions who want to exert total control over us. To the Lamestream Media, Trump represents us, people they consider ignorant, unintelligent, unsophisticated, people unable to govern themselves.
Trump wants to expose the Lamestream Media and the people they represent as a false elite: stupid, unintelligent, vicious, soul less poseurs, who have wormed their way into being a ruling class without being the “best and brightest” needed to rule effectively. The best way to expose them is to let them expose themselves. They are stupid enough and unintelligent enough to expose themselves without understanding what they are doing.
If you want to bring down an great structure built of lies, find the loose stone in the foundation. Start chipping away at the mortar holding it. Start levering the stone. Once that first stone has fallen out, the other foundation stones will be easy to dislodge. Then, the whole filthy edifice can come down.
Trump likes to play the dummy, to play those insecure folk who look for any chance to assert their spurious superiority. Roy Cohn, who was by no means a nice guy, supposedly said that Trump was the smartest guy he ever met. Roy Cohn had met many very intelligent people in his life.
The White needs to inform Fake News CNN that Acosta is no longer welcome, and to send another Fake News Reporter. Letting this rube Acosta freewheel his hate is appalling.
President Trump has absolutely no reason to even attempt to play nice or be respectful with a majority of the news media . The question about the orginized alien invasion from countries south of our border is a funded and supported leftist agenda by people in the US to continue the destruction of our nation from within . Media outlets like CNN are filled with socialist liberal democrats that are willing to bankrupt this nation morally and financially as long as they can avoid any pain or inconvienance during the transition . Not unlike the NAZI inner circle as the party took control of everything . These assholes thought they had their carasmatic leader with Obama then they thought Hillary could pull it off regardless of how flawed she may be . The left has now resorted to anything and everything to sway the nation away from President Trump . Sadly far to many people do not understand Life Liberty and The Pursuit Of Happiness comes with accountability and responsibility .
Not , I need so gimmie !
Look at the democrats that took the house truly agenda driven FREE SHIT ARMY leaders . Also look what will be the house speaker the babbling lunatic Pelosi and then there is Maxine Waters in charge of budget and finance , brilliant just fucking brilliant !
It’s Manhattan time for me !
It’s the Peter Principle: everybody is finally promoted just above their level of competence. If you do well at one level or one job, then based on your good performance, you are promoted to the next level. Finally, you reach a level where you are not smart enough or knowledgeable enough to handle the requirements of the job.
Crazy Maxine is currently in a job about 10 levels above what she can successfully understand. To date, her full incompetence has not been exposed to the public. There is no way she can serve as a chairman of an important congressional committee without looking like a totally lost loon. If she had a really good staff to do everything for her and ghostwrite everything she says, yeah. Can you really picture Crazy Maxine picking a good staff? She probably has a staff of people as doofus as her.
The next two years, Trump will be in hog heaven, taking potshots at the doofuses and nutcases chairing the House committees. Schiff and Nadler are not quite as nutty as Crazy Maxine, but they will put on freak shows of their own. The American people will be treated daily to the sight of a circus performance like they have never seen before.
Trump pulled Acosta apart like a roasted chicken.
The best thing is *Acosta hasn’t been kicked out* it allowed us to see just how dishonest the press is each and every day.
I couldn’t have done it.
He would have been spitting bloody chicklets.
Trump is so polite. Just once let’s hear “That’s it you little prick! Get the fuck out of here now, or I’ll throw your pathetic ass out!” And then kick Acosta in the balls. Or better yet, have one of those Oakley’s and cotton ball cap wearing “contractors” walk up to him and quietly knock him to the ground with a curt blow to the jaw. That would feel alot better to many of us I think.
I howled with laughter, seemed to be the point. It was total WWE, just like that meme, Trump body slammed the shit out of em’.
The low level wrestling match between Accosta and the hottie for mic control was priceless.
I cannot but help to notice striking similarities between Trump and President Cammacho from Idiocracy, somebody needs to get Trump a 240 SAW and we can really get this party started. Next time he can cut loose with a 100 rnd belt into the air to initiate the start of the “Press Conference”.
Cordite smoke surrounding and gently rising around him
the tink tink sound of spent brass falling off the rostrum mingling with the loafers of the press
“Any Questions” with his trademark victory smile…
