"President Donald Trump's ongoing feud with Jim Acosta, CNN's chief White House correspondent, boiled over on Wednesday, with Trump calling Acosta "a rude, terrible person" as he tried to ask the president a question.

The exchange came during a White House press conference on the 2018 midterm elections, in which Trump called out failed Republican candidates who didn't "embrace" him.

Trump began taking questions and called on Acosta, who tried to ask about the president's characterization of a migrant caravan of roughly 4,000 Central American immigrants who are walking through Mexico to claim asylum in the U.S.

Trump immediately interrupted Acosta as the journalist began to ask his question. "Here we go," Trump said to Acosta.

Acosta then challenged Trump's use of the word "invasion" to describe the caravan and asked the president if he thought he had demonized immigrants. Trump then said he wanted immigrants to "come in legally."

Jim acosta should have said: "Mr President, my ratings are higher than your popularity!"

He would have lost it 😂

[JoelC]

Man, Trump telling anyone "you're a terrible person" is the irony of the year....

[mikeyoungblood]

The Irony of Trump calling anybody a terrible rude person is insane

[themusicaljunkie]

Jim Acosta should get a damn raise for getting banned for asking tough questions. Trump's such a snowflake.

[DJ_Katone]

Trump dodging QUESTIONS just like the DRAFT! 😂😄😄😄

[felichia]

Acosta was asking legitimate questions, which is what journalists are supposed to do. Journalists must stick together and not be intimidated by trump; trump is rude & terrible.

[BNSFGuy]

Trump is clearly unhinged. You can tell. His mannerisms and tense posture are waving red flags for me... The hallmarks of a psychopath and a man under stress. This is the true Trump. He let his true personality out.

[mochithepooh]

If he thinks that the media isn't "the people", the media shouldn't treat him as the president.

[Ardenwolfe]

Jesus. What an utter embarrassment Trump is.

[bethgalactica]

Jim did his job. It's a shame trump can't do his.

[colico]

Btw, that annoying woman put her hands on HIM, not the other way around as they allege.

[Argumemnon]

Trump telling someone that they're rude and terrible person is the epitome of irony.

The man was pissed. He didn't take the midterms well.

[dalec]

People asking for asylum is perfectly legal. Unarmed women and child, which are a large portion of the group, are not invaders.

[jp]

The hypocrisy to say about disrespecting Sarah Huckabee. Wasn’t Trump calling a woman the other day a “Horse Face”. Now he is teaching people how respect?

[NeoDerGrose]

I can't possibly imagine how ashamed all you sane Americans must be.

[Hexomazer]

So sad we have a president who can’t even conduct himself like a respectable man

[jarenc]

She snatched his mic. Gotta love that free speech.

[EASYTIGER]

Trump: "Go ahead Peter, you're nice"
Peter: "Jim's OK Mr President"
Trump: "Oh, well you're terrible too and I'm not going to invite you to my pyjama party, naah nah na nah nah" Do we have a 4 year old as President??

[Mukeet-Khan]

Trump voters, u proud of the fact that the rest of the world is laughing their collective asses off on our account? Down with money in politics (legal bribery), foreign (unjust) wars and the Electoral College!!

[meanwhileinsooke]

Trump is an international embarrassment.
