President Donald Trump childishly attacked CNN reporter Jim Acosta on Thursday night for fact-checking him at the southern border with a strange “Dear Diary” tweet that Twitter users seized upon to troll him.
Trump traveled to the border earlier in the day for a photo-op with Border Patrol agents in yet another desperate ploy to promote his worthless ego wall. And Acosta traveled there as well to do his job, which he performed perfectly by pointing out how safe residents along the border feel even without a barrier.
The steel slats don’t run the entire length of the border in the McAllen area. We found one part where there is a chain link fence. Occasionally migrants come thru but residents say their community is quite safe. pic.twitter.com/ivpPl0XT48

Trump responded with a bizarre post.

Basically, Acosta schooled Trump and undermined his constant fear mongering. Yet, Trump had no real comeback.
Twitter users, however, turned Trump’s pathetic “Dear Diary” post against him.
Dear Diary…
Why doesn’t Trump care about the hundreds of pounds of fentanyl moving through our ports of entry every day when one shipment alone seized in Philadephia could overdose and kill 25 million Americans? Would a wall on the southern border fix that?

Dear Diary…
What happened to these two Joshua trees in Joshua Tree National Park during the government shutdown?

Dear Diary…
What’s going to happen when our airports are not secure because Trump is forcing TSA and air traffic controllers to work for free during the shutdown?

Dear Diary…
Will there be another outbreak of E. Coli O157:H7 because the FDA is not doing routine inspections of our food production facilities during the shutdown? Hoping no more kids pee blood and lose their kidneys in the United States of America.

Dear Diary…
Is it normal for the richest nation in the world to have patients that ration their own insulin because they can’t afford it after Trump nominated a pharmaceutical executive to run the Department of Health and Human Services?

Dear diary. Today I told Trump how much of an idiotic idea his wall is. It felt good. It feels even better knowing he can’t block my comments on Twitter. The courts said so.

Dear diary, Michael Cohen is testifying against me and I’m scared.

Dear Diary,
I’m a moron and making up fake outrage to appease my Nazi base while having 800,000 Americans not get a paycheck.

Dear Diary..
I just quote tweeted a tweet that clearly proves there is no national emergency at the border. I just snorted 3 adderalls and my frontal lobe is deteriorating at a rate doctors have rarely seen. I want to bang hookers but secret service won’t leave me the fuck alone

Dear diary,
Cheated on Melanie again.
Bigly good sex! New record.
Lasted over 60 seconds.
I never had bone spurs.
All my money is my dad’s.
The MAGA people are stupid.
I like pee and KFC.

Dear Diary,
I have not used the initial money congress gave me to fix damage to existing wall. I have actually only used 40% of it for wall prototypes that are useless. But, Diary, I am asking for 5 billion more to save face with my base who will believe anything I say.— eric allen (@sweetcheeser) January 11, 2019

Trump is clearly annoyed with Acosta constantly fact-checking him and revealing him as the liar he is. His tweet is nothing more than yet another attack on the media, but it spectacularly backfired just like Trump’s shutdown will backfire on him and any Republicans who continue to support him.
