Trump jabs CNN's 'crazy' Jim Acosta, claims 'big win' after shutdown ends

After lawmakers reached a deal to end the government shutdown, President Trump took to Twitter and claimed victory, while slamming a CNN reporter.

“Even Crazy Jim Acosta of Fake News CNN agrees: ‘Trump World and WH sources dancing in end zone: Trump wins again…Schumer and Dems caved…gambled and lost.’ Thank you for your honesty Jim!” Trump tweeted Tuesday morning.

This was his second tweet post-shutdown.

“Big win for Republicans as Democrats cave on Shutdown. Now I want a big win for everyone, including Republicans, Democrats and DACA, but especially for our Great Military and Border Security. Should be able to get there. See you at the negotiating table,” the president wrote in a tweet Monday night.

Many reports suggested that Trump didn’t take a leading role in the negotiations during the shutdown.

And now, CNN reports, citing inside sources, “peeved by the perception the government funding stalemate was resolved in spite of — and not owing to — his leadership, Trump is eager to rebut the notion he sat on the back benches during the debate over ending the shutdown.”
