During a question and answer session, after both leaders made short speeches CNN's Jim Acosta made a fool of himself yet again with his usual press briefing hysterics, throwing the question and answer session into chaos once more by screeching at Trump who took multiple questions from reporters during the press conference ranging from his upcoming summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki on Monday to his recent
interview with
The Sun, in which he criticized May and questioned the possibility of a U.S.-U.K. trade deal.
After Trump finished an answer, reporters in the audience raised their hands to ask another question, including Acosta, who interjected to ask a question since Trump criticized CNN.
Trump also criticized NBC after their "reporter" Kristen Welker asked if Trump “is giving Russian President Vladimir Putin the upper hand, heading into your talks, given that you are challenging these alliances that he seeks to break up and destroy?” He then called the journalist "dishonest" and the network "possibly worse than CNN."
This time around at Buckinghamshire Acosta shrieked and proceeded to throw another tantrum when Trump refused to take his question. "Mr. President, since you attacked CNN, can I ask you a question?" Acosta asked Trump.
"This is wrong news, I do not take questions from CNN, CNN is a false news, I do not take questions from wrong news," said the President.
