This CNN anchor’s ‘exiled Twitter junkie’ Trump rant is simply brutal

There have been plenty of memorable Trump takedowns on CNN in the last few years, not least this fabulous 14 seconds from 2020.

And this latest is another classic, Jim Acosta giving his no-holds-barred verdict on the former President’s Georgia rally. It’s two minutes well spent.

“Painful.” “Opposite Day.” “Random lie generator.” CNN Anchor Jim Acosta brutally mocks Trump for a full two minutes. Calls him “an exiled Twitter junkie who’s jonesing for a platform”, and so much more. pic.twitter.com/Gk5YRz57o7

And he didn’t leave it here. People especially loved his ‘big cry’ moment.

Acosta: I almost don’t want to call it the big lie anymore. I want to call it the big cry because he just goes to these rallies and cries… Why would you go to a rally and stand out there for hours and hours just to listen to this man who can’t get over losing cry and cry pic.twitter.com/g5J7psQdad

And it prompted lots and lots of responses like this.

Just in the interests of balance and all that, there was also this.

Jim Acosta misses President Trump an awful lot, apparently. This is the most pathetic thing I’ve seen since Macron got bitch-slapped. This fool gets paid to go on TV and be a whining, whimpering LOSER! Trump BROKE Acosta!
