President Trump held a press conference to discuss the results of the midterm elections on Wednesday. During the press conference, President Trump got into a heated exchange with CNN’s Jim Acosta. The President did not hold back at all.
According to The Daily Wire:
Acosta brought up how Trump had called the caravan an “invasion,” to which the president doubled-down and said, “I consider it to be an invasion.”
…
Acosta tried to explain why he thinks the caravan was not an invasion to which Trump responded: “Thank you for telling me that information.”
Acosta then falsely implied that Trump tried to demonize immigrants during the election, when, in reality, Trump’s campaign message when focused on illegal immigration.
…
“I think you should let me run the country and let you run CNN, ” Trump said. Trump said, blasting Acosta. “You shouldn’t be working for CNN. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. And the way you treat other people is horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.”

Trump has had his differences with CNN and he makes them known to the American public. But this may have been his best exchange with CNN yet.
