Press Conference Erupts Into A Brawl As Incredibly Hostile Reporter Jim Acosta From Fake News CNN Battles Trump Aide For Microphone, And Loses!

At the press conference President Trump took credit for victory, then when taking questions from the media, got into an argument with CNN reporter Jim Acosta who challenged his characterisation of migrants in Central America as ‘an invasion.’

Reporter Jim Acosta from fake news CNN decided that he was going to go head to head with President Trump today, and took an aggressive, hostile tone with the president. When all was said and done, Acosta learned a valuable lesson about attempting to punch above your weight, and as my dad would say, got his ‘clock cleaned’ this afternoon.

• UPDATE: Jim Acosta Gets Banned From White House Press Corps. Shortly after this original story was published, the White House pulled the credentials from Jim Acosta, citing unwelcome physical touching of the female White House aide.

The resulting melee chilled the entire room,  but soon the reporters recovered with the result being one of the more real, and most raw exchange between a sitting president and the press that you’re likely to see in your lifetime. Funny part is, after all this time, President Trump is still laying the bait, and the media is still taking it and walking into the trap.

They are no match for the Trump Train.

‘You’re very rude, you’re the enemy of the people’: President Trump’s extraordinary confrontation with CNN reporter at post-midterms press conference

FROM DAILY MAIL UK: President Trump denied using a migrant caravan making its way to the US border through Mexico to whip up fear ahead of Tuesday’s election to win votes. Acosta and a White House Aide then got into a strange fight over the microphone, while Trump admonished Acosta calling him a ‘rude man.’

The President added: ‘CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a very rude .. person.. the way you treat Sarah Huckabee is…’

He went on to described CNN as ‘fake news’ and the room went temporarily silent before questions from reporters continued.

At the start of the news conference President Trump claimed the largest Senate gains for a President’s first midterms since President Kennedy in 1962.

He said: ‘We saw the group of candidates I supported achieve tremendous success last night.’

The President said he they had a ‘big day yesterday, an incredible day and last night the Republican party defied history to expand our Senate.’ They managed this despite being ‘getting bombarded with money on the other side’ and ‘a very hostile media coverage to put it mildly,’ he added – ‘it set a new standard.’

Trump said he had made history in raising the number of Senators to 55, ‘the largest number of Republican Senators for the last 100 years.’

Responding to Democrats threats over claims of Russian election tampering, Trump said ‘It’s been a long time they’ve got nothing.’

He continued, ‘They can play that game but we can play it better because we’ve got the United States Senate.’ He was also critical of some Republican candidates who did not accept his ’embrace.’

‘Those are some of the people that decided for their own reasons – whether its me or what we stand for, but what we stand for meant a lot to most people and we have had tremendous support of the Republican party – at 93% its a record.’ Trump said.

There may be some room, however, for Trump and Democrats to work together on issues with bipartisan support such as a package to improve infrastructure or protections against prescription drug price increases.

‘It really could be a beautiful bipartisan situation,’ Trump said. READ MORE
