CNN's Jim Acosta fires back at bullying Trump over 'takedown' tweet with the perfect comeback

CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta taunted President Donald Trump on Saturday morning after the president gloated on Twitter that he performed a "takedown" of the journalist by refusing to take a question from him at a press conference in London.

Very early Saturday morning, Trump tweeted from Scotland, "So funny! I just checked out Fake News CNN, for the first time in a long time (they are dying in the ratings), to see if they covered my takedown yesterday of Jim Acosta (actually a nice guy). They didn’t! But they did say I already lost in my meeting with Putin. Fake News.”

Soon after, Acosta -- who is also in Scotland covering Trump's road trip that will end with the president meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin --  returned fire, scoffing at the notion of a "takedown" and then issuing a challenge.

"Takedown? I don’t think so. Perhaps we should even the playing field next time and you can take my question. (You’re right about one thing.. I am a nice guy)" he wrote.
