During a press conference in New Delhi, India, President Trump was asked by CNN’s anti-Trump activist reporter Jim Acosta if he’ll pledge not to take foreign election assistance. What a BS question! Acosta probably practiced his comments before he delivered them.
President Trump responded: “Your record on telling the truth is so bad, you ought to be ashamed.”
Acosta came back with a rude response: “Our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours.”
President Trump handled this beautifully. He calmly hit back at Acosta.
President Trump: "If you see what CNN, your wonderful network, said I guess they apologized in a way…What was their apology yesterday? What did they say?"

The comments from Acosta are disgraceful.
Acosta brings up changing up the DNI position to put Ambassador to Germany Richard Grenell in charge. Doesn’t President Trump have a right to surround himself with those on the same mission?
