CNN’s Jim Acosta is still tending to his bruised ego after a Trump MAGA rally in Tampa on Tuesday. He not only said it “felt like we weren’t in America anymore,” but also seemed to insinuate that Trump supporters were ready to attack him physically.
“[Trump] is whipping these crowds up into a frenzy to the point where they really want to come after us,” he proclaimed. “We have these bike rack-like barriers around the press cage, as we call it, to protect us essentially from people who might take things too far. It’s unfortunate.”
Just a sample of the sad scene we faced at the Trump rally in Tampa. I’m very worried that the hostility whipped up by Trump and some in conservative media will result in somebody getting hurt. We should not treat our fellow Americans this way. The press is not the enemy. pic.twitter.com/IhSRw5Ui3R

Acosta is right. With now over 156,000,000 employed America looks nothing like it did under Obmama.
