WATCH: Acosta Asks Trump Why Americans Are ‘Upset’ With Him. Trump Slams Him.

On Monday at a press briefing at the White House, with CNN’s chyron at the bottom of the screen reading, “New one-day record with 486 deaths reported today; total dead nearing 3,000,” CNN’s Jim Acosta decided to target President Trump yet again over statements he had made, and Trump promptly put him in his place, asserting, “You could ask a normal question … instead of asking a nasty, snarky question like that, you should ask a real question.”

Acosta asked, “What do you say to Americans who are upset with you over the way you downplayed this crisis over the last several months? ‘We have it very much under control in this country.’ ‘The coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. It’s going to disappear. It’s like a miracle. It will disappear.’ March 4: ‘We have a very small number of people in this country infected.’ March 10: ‘We’re prepared. We’re doing a great job with it. It will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away.’ What do you say to Americans who feel you got this wrong?”
