Jim Acosta’s response to the CNN tweet by POTUS was too easy for Donald Trump Jr.

In the moments following President Trump’s WWE-style tweet about CNN, Jim Acosta, the CNN reporter who has been one of the network’s main antagonists toward the Trump administration, rhetorically asked if pro wrestling was fake.

"Isn't pro wrestling fake? "

— Jim Acosta (@Acosta) July 2, 2017

Not the best idea. Immediately, the word fake was used by Donald Trump Jr. and others to hammer his network.

"Yes, just like your coverage. https://t.co/ZLmiTVpDce "

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) July 2, 2017

And the floodgates opened.

"Just like the news on CNN…https://t.co/9e8NChsrMt "

Liberals really need to catch up on their reading, what Trump is doing is exactly what far left loon Saul Alinsky taught them..to ridicule, marginalize..that is what Trump is doing, he is putting the lamestream media down to size where they belong. NO ONE believes anything the Commie media tells them because they are partisan hacks they get their talking points from the Democrat Party and just repeat them like parrots

I hope it takes a very, very long time to figure it out.

Titty twisters and Indian rug burns are not covered by Obamacare unless you pay a 10k deductible.

Pro-wrestling fake? Sure is, just like all those movies the movie stars make and then turn around and tell us who to vote for.

Pro-wrestling is not quite as fake as those movies, especially the action movies.

Listening to abc radio news with lead story about some journalist protection agency worrying about reporter violence induced by this tweet. What idiots now everyone will make a point to see the tweet. Unless you like wearing your panties too tight you’ll see the tweet for what it is and you get a kick out of it. The net effect will be millions more followers who get non propagandized news from Trump. Trump plays these rat stooges masterfully.

The irony is that more people read the Trump (father & son) tweets than watch Acosta and CNN.

Acosta and CNN still do not realize — they have become the butt of the jokes about fake news, because they continue to perpetuate fake news.
