CNN’s Jim Acosta didn’t get chosen to ask a question during President Trump’s Rose Garden press conference with Brazil president Jair Bolsaonaro on Tuesday, but he managed to complain about a reporter who did.
Daily Caller White House correspondent Saagar Enjeti was allowed to ask multiple questions, including whether or not the Supreme Court will be expanded and Trump’s thoughts on the state of social media.
Following the press conference, Acosta accused Enjeti of asking Trump a softball question, but it seems the CNN reporter wasn’t paying close attention because the question was directed at the Brazilian president, as opposed to Trump.
“The question was asked in a way that really teed it up, like a game of tee-ball here in the Rose Garden. The president was just sort of served up a softball, there, when he was asked whether or not the Democrats are advancing a lot of socialist ideas. You heard Bolsaonaro go off on that as well,” Acosta said on CNN immediately after the press conference.
Acosta accused Enjeti of lobbing an easy question about socialism to Trump, but the Daily Caller reporter didn’t ask Trump the question about socialism. After Enjeti asked Trump a pair of questions about the Supreme Court and social media, he directed his third question to Bolsaonaro.
“President Bolsaonaro, in another question on the 2020 election, a number of Democrats who are running to replace the president have embraced or considered socialist ideas. You’ve spoken critically of that in the past,” Enjeti said. “If a socialist, or a candidate who embraces socialism were to replace the president, how would it affect your relations with the United States?”
Bolsaonaro answered that he would respect whoever emerges as the next president but expect Trump to be re-elected.

CNN did not immediately respond when asked for comment.
Jim Acosta is such a preening princess. As if he has a right to do anything anywhere!!!
I didn’t get a question either.
I didn’t even get a pass to the Rose Garden event.
FU Acosta. You whining cuck.
He’s worse than my now 4 year old nephew who has to eat his dinner before he gets to go watch Paw Patrol, cries cries cries
This Acosta kid is a real freakin’ piece of work, a complete little baby.
Looks like PDJT reacts normally to someone that has been a total jerk for years.
Imagine that...
.
Hey Jim. The waaaambulance is on its way.
Acosta won BUT....The judge was very clear....Trump doesn't have to let Acosta have a question.
deary diaru\y
today, the president picked someone else to ask a question... and it hurt me so.
He got himself back into the White House press corp that doesn’t mean that Trump or Sarah ever have to call on this 4 year old POS. I wouldn’t give him the time of day for anything, he would be frozen out of everything.
If CNN complained I would issue a state and word for word say: when you send us a responsible journalist and your organization starts acting like even a half-ass news organization will consider talk to you partisan hacks, until then you will be treated like the partisan, bratty child you act like.
He’s the walking, talking definition of a prima donna:
“a very temperamental person with an inflated view of their own talent or importance”.
Acosta was given the complaint line to call, 1-800-WAA-WAAH
Keep showing us all who you are, Jimmy Boy! MAGA! :)
