CNN’s Jim Acosta is reporting that President Trump was caught on a hot mic before tonight’s news conference at his Bedminster club saying . . . the exact same things in private as he does in public?
Before news conf Trump was caught on a hot mic telling people at club…”You’ll get to meet the fake news tonight. You’ll get to see what I have to go through. Who’s there? Oh all my killers are there, wow. So you’ll get to see some of the people that we deal with every day”

A legit “Dear diary” moment:

And this is quite the self-own:
Trump just got Jim Acosta to report that Jim Acosta is fake news. https://t.co/R1kOeFULhE

Really, what’s the story here?
So he got "caught on a hot mic" saying the exact same things he says directly to the press corps on camera on any day that ends in "y"? https://t.co/MXLDM26NZU

100% true:
So, the same thing he says to your face.

Journos like to pretend they’re not part of this same game, but they are:
Trump bashing the press, yes. But also hyping/promoting the drama, the confrontation, the show… always. https://t.co/GHTwSwuPvu

You know, in Trump-speak “killer” is actually a good thing:
The people charged with holding powerful politicians accountable to the American people are described as "killers"

And they should know that after 3 years:
I heard @jeffmason1 can kill a man with little more than a his bare hands and folded piece of paper from a reporter’s notebook.

Curiously, what else did the president say?
What else did he say, Jim? https://t.co/7aEsPiYbQn
