President Donald Trump paused his post-midterms press briefing Wednesday to yell at CNN’s Jim Acosta, wagging his finger and calling him a “rude, terrible person” and adding that CNN should be “ashamed” to have him in their employ.
“You are a very rude person,” Trump continued. “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible,” he said, referring to the White House press secretary.
When NBC’s Peter Alexander tried to stand up for his peer, Trump turned his ire on him as well. “I’m not a big fan of yours either, to be honest,” the President said.

Oh my, Trump is scared. That must be why he has abandoned his usual measured and unifying tone.
Be afraid, Donald, be very afraid.
Playground insults: Takes one to know one.
That was the first time I’ve ever willingly watched a trump video clip. It was worth it.
Note to Jim: now would be a really good time to start being truly rude and terrible in a way that Rump won’t forget. And, if the regime complains and wants CNN to send a stenographer, that person should be even more rude and terrible.
Every day I see more of this now normalized, terrible behavior by a president.
Every day I watch people I know refuse to denounce him, they are silent or defend him.
Every single day I think less of these people.
