CNNs Jim Acosta didnt get chosen to ask a question during President Trumps 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 Trumps 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 wasnt 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 didnt 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. Youve 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.

Love it! Rather than give Acosta a platform by arguing with him, just Freeze him OUT!
40 years ago, there was no CNN....................
Little Jimmy Acosted needs to take a shower and wash his mouth out.
Bad actor and bad acts..... No reward.
My 5-year old niece is the same.....only she wants to watch spongebob. I think Spongebob is Acostas speed. Paw Patrol might be a little too intellectual for him.

“I AM big! It’s the Rose Garden that got small!”
I think they should ignore him until he becomes as loony as Norma Desmond.
“”whether or not the Supreme Court will be expanded””
Have to wonder if that reporter thought the president had the answer to that question.
Acosta’s playing everyone - he enjoys being the center of attention so he complains to get it!
Paw Patrol is a great show..except the mayor walks around with her chicken(Chickaletta) which seems weird..my nephew also watches Blaze and the Monster Machines and PJ Masks..I dont think Acosta would like Spongebob, Mr Crabs is a capitalist he wouldnt like watching that
If I was the President, he would never be called on.
Trump should make sure his press credentials have his REAL name: Abilio James Acosta
Dirtbag Jim is really mad that the Daily Caller asked some good questions.
You need to get your ratings up If you want to get a question Jim
A left-wing 'political activist' masquerading as a CNN reporter...
They’re not playing nice with Jimmy-Wimmy. Poor Jimmy-Wimmy. Poor, poor Jimmy-Wimmy.
That’s OK Jim. I didn’t get chosen either.
Crimea River...
Acosta is imbalanced, hope he has to go thru metal detectors.
