President Trump and CNN’s Jim Acosta have a very complicated relationship.
Exhibit A:
Exhibit B:
Exhibit C:
OK so…I guess it’s not too complicated. Acosta is a slimy CNN reporter who’s hell-bent on delivering the fakest of news to the people, and Trump continually calls him out.
But believe it or not, President Trump actually thanked “Crazy” Jim Acosta today.
Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table!

Even Crazy Jim Acosta of Fake News CNN agrees: “Trump World and WH sources dancing in end zone: Trump wins again…Schumer and Dems caved…gambled and lost.” Thank you for your honesty Jim!

Some tweet, huh? It’s two slaps in the face then a peck on the cheek.
I think Trump was referring to this tweet:
Trump world and WH sources dancing in end zone: “Trump wins again… “ Schumer and Dems “caved… gambled and lost.”

Here’s the thing: I’m no so sure that Acosta “agrees.” He’s reporting what others are saying. I don’t know.
There’s more where that came from.
Nobody knows for sure that the Republicans & Democrats will be able to reach a deal on DACA by February 8, but everyone will be trying….with a big additional focus put on Military Strength and Border Security. The Dems have just learned that a Shutdown is not the answer!

Thank you to General John Kelly, who is doing a fantastic job, and all of the Staff and others in the White House, for a job well done. Long hours and Fake reporting makes your job more difficult, but it is always great to WIN, and few have won more than us!

By the way, Acosta is still delusional.
Gosh it's so bizarre how @PressSec keeps avoiding questions from CNN. #cantstandtheheat

HA! Can’t stand the heat? CNN is colder than Mars.
You know what this is like? This is a lot like eating Tide pods, right Jim?
