CNN’s Jim Acosta has done it again: given conservatives another opportunity for some Twitter trollery. Like his repeated attempts to heckle Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Acosta’s attempt to shame President Trump for pulling out of the nuclear deal Tuesday blew up in his face.
Apparently distraught like many of his colleagues about Trump dismantling Obama’s signal foreign policy achievement, Acosta took to Twitter to list Trump’s sins against the sacrosanct Obama legacy:
Obama policies dumped by Trump: Iran deal, Paris Climate Agreement, Trans-Pacific Trade Deal, DACA, Obamacare Individual Mandate

As Twitchy highlights, the response online likely didn’t go quite as Acosta planned, with many Trump fans pointing out that Acosta just helpfully underscored that Trump, unlike most politicians, is actually keeping his campaign promises.
“I never thought I’d see this guy running campaign ads for Trump,” wrote one twitterer. “Does @CNN have to report this as an in-kind campaign contribution?”
Promises kept by Trump
Iran deal – gone
Paris Climate Agreement – gone
Trans-Pacific Trade Deal – gone
DACA – expired
Obamacare Individual Mandate – goneWhich is why we voted for him in the first place.
Thank you for being actually factual though, Jim. https://t.co/n5xybCsLTb
