Another day, another Donald Trump COVID19 press briefing to give CNN an opportunity to throw a tantrum.
Today’s did not disappoint:
Who the hell is asking this god damn question?

You know who it’s gotta be, Smug, don’t you?
Acosta being Acosta

Jim Acosta. Naturally.
Watch:

Trump was right to smack Acosta for that.
Stop mocking Jim Acosta, he's a journalist risking his life on the front lines.

Snort.
In all seriousness, Acosta deserved to get dragged for asking such an unserious question. And what Trump started, Twitter can help finish:

“Do you think your question was helpful in halting the spread of the coronavirus?"
I think @Acosta just failed the WH Press Corps' own test.

Jim Acosta: an activist disguised as a journalist

How many people approve of the kind of spiteful, accusatory questions asked by @Acosta? What is the point of trashing Trump when we are trying to save lives here? Does @acosta not see he stands as his own accuser? That he disgraces himself? That he is WAY out of line?

Shoutout to @Acosta for finally showing up to a briefing so Trump could nuke him and bless all of our feeds. pic.twitter.com/s4L48V5kPl

Parting food for thought:
I would honestly like to see a poll of all Americans and specifically members of the media regarding who they think came off better in this exchange.
I would bet quite a bit that the results would show a significant divergence. https://t.co/Rv2SgIcwrq

We’ll take that bet.
