The latest back-and-forth between CNN reporter Jim Acosta and President Donald Trump took place on Feb. 15 when Acosta asked Trump a question during a press conference the president held to announce a national emergency to build the border wall amid a flood of illegal aliens pouring across the border.

Acosta said that Trump, based on “facts and statistics,” was “creating or concocting a national emergency” as opposed to there already being one at the border, “in order to get your wall.”
