President Trump is going to visit a border area in Texas today, and CNN’s intrepid Resistance reporter Jim Acosta is on the scene with this report that obviously is an attempt to mock the president:
I found some steel slats down on the border. But I don’t see anything resembling a national emergency situation.. at least not in the McAllen TX area of the border where Trump will be today. pic.twitter.com/KRoLdszLUu

Really? Who wants to tell him?
Jim Acosta just posted one of the biggest self owns ever.
He's walking along the border where there's a wall in place talking about how there's nothing that "resembles a national emergency situation" and "there's no migrants trying to rush."
That's because there's a wall, Jim. https://t.co/qkuWRhxolW

“Dear diary, I just committed a Texas-sized self-own.” – @Acosta

Whoops!
To anyone who says that @Acosta is a hack, watch this video!
Would a hack go down to the border and practically do a commercial on behalf of Trump proving that a wall works? https://t.co/4g6CXaMZv8

THIS. Is CNN.
Presumably, Jim, the counter-argument would be that you don't see "a national emergency situation" precisely because there's a wall of the sort that those you're criticizing want to extend.

So… you saw no national emergency where the wall was built? ???

Keep up the great reporting, Jim!
You're about 50 miles away from the Mexican border town where about 20 bodies were just found in another round of cartel violence. You need directions?https://t.co/W140Vl8FQo https://t.co/T3cFVNU584

Maybe he’ll get to that later. *Eye roll*
Walls are clearly bad for our country … because this one's keeping Jim Acosta in. https://t.co/jisPlSjNYK

LMAO! Oh, and Acosta explained why his location showed up as “Burger King”:
The Burger King is literally down hill from where we shot this (for folks who are wondering – why it shows up)

Maybe they’ll name an honorary “Whopper” after CNN.
Update:
More from Acosta:
All quiet on this stretch of the border ahead of Trump’s visit to McAllen TX area. pic.twitter.com/cJ9tBwdCSd

Hmm…
weird…the fence and moat seem to be effective? https://t.co/itsLpnWU3t

We also cracked up at Acosta thinking showing one stretch of border that was quiet at the time somehow debunks claims that there’s a major problem with illegal crossings.
