Friday while taking questions after his declaration of a national emergency, President Donald Trump told CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta that he was “fake news.” and that he had “an agenda.”
Acosta asked, “Let me just ask you this. What do you say to your critics who say that you are creating a national emergency? That you are concocting a national emergency here in order to get your wall because you couldn’t get it through other ways?”
Trump said, “Ask the Angel Moms. What do you think? Do you think I am creating something? Ask these incredible women who lost their daughters and their sons, okay, because your question is a very political question. Because you have an agenda. You are CNN. You’re fake news. You have an agenda. The numbers that you gave are wrong. Take a look at our federal prison population. See how many of them percentage-wise are illegal aliens. Just see. Go ahead and see. It’s a fake question. Yes, go ahead.”
