Jim Acosta Says President Trump Is Dreaming That He Can Overturn Election Results
CNN’s Jim Acosta said that President Trump is dreaming if he thinks that he can overturn the results of the Presidential election. Acosta made the statement on “Anderson Cooper 360” on Friday. John Berman, the guest anchor for the show, asked why President Trump is fighting for a job that he does not seem to want.
Acosta replied, “I talked to a Trump adviser earlier this week who described the president as not whining or not working. I think that essentiality sums it up. It’s extraordinary because not only do we have this raging pandemic with thousands of lives lost every day, we also have this cyberattack, this Russian cyberattack on the U.S. government, that the president is still silent about this evening.”
Acosta then went on to attack the President and described how he has been unable to go in front of the camera and address the pandemic and encourage everyone to get the vaccine. He also complained as to how President Trump has not called out Putin for interfering with the federal government. As usual, Acosta did not offer any solid evidence that the President has done anything wrong. Acosta continued, “It is alarming. You and I were talking about this previously this week. This is a president who has checked out. He does not seem to want to do the job anymore. He likes the fancy house behind me with the wreaths adorning the exterior and so on, but he does not want to do the work.”
Acosta said that if the President really wanted to get elected in 2024, he would lead the charge against the coronavirus and that he would be calling out Putin. He insists that there’s a lot to be done. “He’s not doing it. I suspect, John, because he’s wrapped up in grief with this election and chasing after this fever dream that he somehow can still overturn the election results when it’s just not going to happen.”
