I'm SHOCKED! Why would the President ignore this green streaked, slimy, lying, showboating turd?

Well, that certainly re-enforces my opinion of the President!

Somebody tell this boob that the President isn’t the only one snubbing CNN. And Acosta has bigger problems than POTUS Trump.

......The CNN star douche bag @ss wipe pos dog crap, echoed the same claims on Twitter, saying “Trump largely steered clear of WH press corps., which helped him avoid the Cohen questions,”

There I fixed it.

Like Duh. Any attorney with more wits than Cohen would have recommended he do the same.

Reminds me of this gem from SNL;

Helen Thomas: “Yes, Helen Thomas here, Mr. President. I have served in the Press Corps since the Kennedy administration, and yet, do you know you completely ignored me at the last press conference?”

President George W. Bush: “Yes. Next question.” [ points to another reporter ] Yeah.

“Ohmigawd! That guy is like a middle-school girl.”

Yes, and it's not just him. ‘Journalism’ is full of these types now.

“Acosta asserted that Trump may have avoided White House press corps journalists in an effort to dodge questions about Michael Cohen”

Well, according to CNN’s Jake Tapper, Cohen’s testimony basically contradicted what CNN had reported. Therefore, Acosta likely should be asking his own network some serious questions about Cohen, let alone Trump.
