CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta’s latest report has been labeled “idiotic” and a “‘so what?’ moment” by critics who feel it’s simply the liberal network’s latest attempt to weaponize coronavirus against President Trump.
Acosta’s story headlined, “Source: Trump is concerned about coming into contact with people infected with coronavirus,” cited a single source “close to” the president who said Trump is uneasy after coming into contact with a Brazilian official who tested positive for coronavirus.
“This is the most idiotic thing I've seen all week. And this week that's saying something,” Media Research Center vice president Dan Gainor told Fox News. “Of course, ‘Trump is concerned about coming into contact with people infected with coronavirus.’ We all are. And we're all supposed to be. That's how you stop a virus, by being concerned about who you interact with and taking precautions.”
The O Estado de S. Paulo newspaper reported Thursday that Fabio Wajngarten, who met with President Trump in Mar-A-Lago on Saturday, tested positive for the virus early Wednesday. Health officials confirmed the diagnosis. On Friday, Fox News confirmed that Jair Bolsonaro, Brazil's president who also met with Trump on Saturday, also tested positive.
Trump has downplayed the incident publicly, telling reporters that he isn’t concerned and attempting to keep panic and hysteria to a minimum. But the 73-year-old president who is a known germaphobe may have told someone close to him that he’s actually a tad apprehensive, according to Acosta.
"He is very concerned about all the people he met who have it, including the Brazilian," an anonymous source told the CNN reporter.
The anonymous source didn’t mention whether or not Trump is concerned for himself, or for the people exposed, only that he was concerned in general.

CNN fire Jim Acosta? CNN IS Jim Acosta. Jim Acosta IS CNN.
My “source” says Jim Acosta is a pedophile rapist targeting toddlers under 2 years old. This source heard it from a “whistleblower”.
He deserves all the grief he gets.
As for Acosta, CNN, PMSNBC, etc, Trump needs to tweak them, toy with them, expose them for the biased progressives that they are.
Blasted?
As in “BOOM!” ?
I think he is still standing tall.
He has his agenda and will not be dissuaded by mere posts.
My sources say he has the clap, the crabs and AIDS.
A source “close to” Jim Acosta has informed me that Acosta lacks integrtity and is of limited intellectual ability.
CNN (Cable News Network) is an American news-based pay television channel owned by AT&T’s WarnerMedia.
If you use AT&T, you’re helping pay Jim Acosta’s salary.
If Satan owed AT&T, and he might, folks wouldn’t give it up.
If it would entirely wipe out our National Debt folks wouldn’t give it up.
If it stopped every abortion in America folks wouldn’t give it up.
CNN should transfer him to Italy!
I would contribute to that GoFundMe account.
Just watched press conference by White House on the virus and the press corps act like children with a short attention span. They don’t listen. Their questions are antagonistic and not to the point. Very disappointed in their performance.
only that he was concerned in general.....OH NOES!
Rumor has it Jim Acosta is tight with Andrew Gillum. When the police arrived at a Florida hotel room Andrew Gillum was found incoherent and buck nekked and his gay escort “buddy” was passed out on the bed. 3 bags of Chrystal meth were in the room. Will Jim Acosta report on this incident or will he bury this news?
zenophobic jim was caught in a lie
