Jim Acosta is on CNN right now, and he is pissed off. Edit 2 And he just announced he is quitting CNN.

Trump is gonna lose it.

On edit: Or course as a new President in the opening days of his administration does not have the time to watch tv and will therefore miss this.

He doesn't have to watch the news. He just needs his cronies to come with the appalling news. As in, "You would be appalled at what the news guy just said."

It's a tragedy that there are not many more like Acosta. Instead, what we have gotten is fealty to trump or bothsiderism.

The evil like Scump go on making things worse, and good reporters are the first to get axed while useless (fill in names here) keeps collecting a giant check.

Not sure why you think he'll "lose it". It's beneficial to him - CNN is bending the knee.
