Jim Acosta claimed on CNN Tuesday that Trump’s rhetoric on Russia “would make Kennedy and Reagan raise an eyebrow.”

“You saw that he had this press conference earlier today where he announced he wants to pull U.S. Troops out of Syria while deploying them to the border with Mexico,” CNN’s White House correspondent stated. “The president also tried to sound tough at certain points on Russia in a way that would make Kennedy and Reagan raise an eyebrow.”
Trump addressed a domestic and foreign press Tuesday with the leaders of Baltic states. At one point, the president poked fun at the American media, calling them “fake news.” (RELATED:‘Real News, Not Fake News’ — Trump Trolls American Media With Baltic Reporters)

As for Trump’s “real news, not fake news” line… “real news” obviously means allowing the Latvian president to call any reporter in the room.
