President Donald Trump held a press conference to announce his new choice for Labor Secretary… Alex Acosta.
He will be the first Hispanic member of Trump’s cabinet.
But for more than a hour, Trump railed on the the liberal media, shell-shocking liberal reporters who didn’t know just how bad it would be for them.
Trump gave a whooping and ate these journalists alive. This is one for the record books:
Trump made fun of CNN’s Jim Acosta, as he has the same last name as Trump’s choice for Labor Secretary. CNN now seems to operate as a 24/7 anti-Trump PR-machine, and Trump joked that they made sure there was no relation between the reporter and his nominee.
TRUMP: And you’re not related to our new —
ACOSTA: I am not related, sir. I do like the sound of Secretary Acosta, I must say.
TRUMP: You know, I looked at that name. I said wait a minute. Is there any relation there, Alex Acosta?
ACOSTA: I’m sure you checked that out, sir.
TRUMP: No, I checked it. I said — they said, no, sir. I said do me a favor, go back and check the family tree.
All liberal CNN could say in response was: “WOW!”

The establishment media was overwhelmed:
Tapper: “It was unhinged. It was wild..a lot of Americans are going to watch that press conference & say, ‘That guy is not focused on me.'”

But Sean Hannity echoed the views of Trump supporters, who loved the media beat-down:
Amazing Press conference by @realDonaldTrump @POTUS He calls out alt-left propaganda media for never ending lies. A total beat down!

Trump came out swinging full force, and didn’t hold back. This is the Trump we all loved during the Republican primary, and he’s back fighting hard.
Finally, Republicans have a spokesman who will fight back against the media, instead of letting them define everything.
