As Twitchy reported, CNN’s Jim Acosta reported that he saw no emergency situation at the border near McAllen, Texas — as he was standing next to a steel fence. Maybe try California, where members of the migrant caravan tried to rush the fence and were driven back by tear gas.
It’s a tradition now to quote-tweet Jim Acosta and write “Dear Diary,” and now even President Trump is doing it:
Dear Diary… https://t.co/NAuMaQW6fl

Best. President. Ever.

EPIC! Best President EVER.
This is how you know the President has his ear to the ground. He knows what the people are saying. He listens. #BuildTheWall

Please use this as a campaign ad in 2020 Mr. President.
Who would have ever thought lying Jim Acosta would finally tell the truth.

And as if it weren’t obvious that there’s personal animosity between Acosta and the Trump family, check out the hashtag Acosta so professionally added to his tweet to Donald Trump Jr., who also took the opportunity to dunk on him.
Of course you don’t Jim. That’s because walls work. Thanks for your help proving @realDonaldTrump’s point and simultaneously creating one of the best self-own videos ever!!! https://t.co/QVXsJTwFh8

It’s a little strange Don. You guys seem to be saying the current measures in place are working. Does that mean your dad should reopen the government and get federal employees back to work? #byebye https://t.co/UY0NMye8BO
— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) January 10, 2019
Wow, CNN really is obsessed with Trump’s bye-bye (or buh-bye) to Chuck and Nancy after Pelosi gave a flat-out no to any barrier at the border. No bias, though — what Acosta meant to say is, shouldn’t the Democrats agree to fund border security to reopen the government? Right?
I know this might be hard for you to comprehend Jimbo, but the reason why all of Twitter has been mocking you today is because you were at a part of the border WITH A WALL. So yes, of course it was working. Replicate that across the border & we’ll all be safer. #RealNews #ByeBye https://t.co/BtdJ3GcxSV
— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) January 10, 2019
Bye-bye Jimbo.

A searing comeback from Acosta:

Just a reminder that it was @neontaster who came up with the “Dear Diary” idea … he’s hit the big time now.
WHAT? WHAT?! https://t.co/cYnge30kmp

My phone's blowing up lmao

I joined twitter on the day Obama was sworn into office. The fact that almost 10 years later to the day, the president of the United States would make a joke that I invented on the same platform is, for lack of a better term, fucking weird.
