CNN’s Jim Acosta didn’t get chosen to ask a question during President Trump’s 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 Trump’s 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 wasn’t 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 didn’t 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. You’ve 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.

Why was he even there? He is a jerk .
They could not wait to put on their kneepads to fellate Obama and they are complaining that Trump got a ‘softball’ question?
Dear Diary: Today the President didn’t even call on me during the press conference!
Acosta is lucky he didn’t have to watch the press conference from a bar down the street.
Get over it Jimbo. Nobody likes a POS like you!
The sign should say “will wank for food”.
What a big baby he is.
Lol!
The Cone Of Shame.
Jim, FU and the Democrat Jackass you rode on to the press conference.
Acosta???
Is that whining cinder block with lips STILL hanging around???
Poor baby. Got his feewings hurt, did he?
I daresay that TDC has more viewers than CNN!
After Acosta’s assorted bouts of “disbehavior” would it be a stretch to just ignore him?
Bump
Waaaah! Waaaah! Waaaah! Unlike questions msm fakes would ask Obama -— “Mr. President, how do you stay so humble , with all the adulation you deservedly receive, for being not only the best President EVER, but the best dad, the best husband, the best...blah blah blah...?”
Boy, that is a flabby, old man body. Definitely nothing to advertise. Don’t want to watch that waddle around. My 68 year old hubby looks way better on the backside. He still has great shoulders and nice buns. Old Jim just has rolls of flab, and a pinched butt.
acosta is just lucky he didn’t get spit on ...
looks like he’ll have to sue trump again and try to get a judge to order trump to ask him a question ...
