President Trump slams CNN’s ‘Crazy Jim Acosta’ in shutdown victory lap tweet

Trump on Tuesday celebrated the end of a government shutdown with a tweet citing a reporter from his least favorite media outlet: CNN.

Acosta was actually quoting “Trump world” and “WH sources” –

Trump world and WH sources dancing in end zone: “Trump wins again… “ Schumer and Dems “caved… gambled and lost.”

President Trump signed a bill Monday night ending the government shutdown, capping off a nearly three-day deadlock and reinstating funds until February 8, a senior administration official said.

The House and the Senate voted Monday to end the government shutdown, extending funding for three weeks, following a deal being reached between Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell regarding assurances related to immigration.
