This wasn’t nearly as bad as the infamous Acosta incident at the White House, but clearly this CNN reporter wanted to keep asking Trump a question and the president had to direct the mic guy to take away her mic:
CNN gets Acosta'd again.

Her original question was one that Trump didn’t really care for, where she’d brought up Mexico paying for the wall right after he’d just answered a question on that. And then she tried to suggest Trump would be breaking his promise if the wall was concrete instead of steel:
.@POTUS: "If I build a steel wall, rather than a concrete wall, it will actually be stronger than a concrete wall. Steel is stronger than concrete. You can check it out…I will have it done by the United States steel corporations and companies." https://t.co/YYa34PeSTf pic.twitter.com/cxrms3Knmf

Who cares if the wall is steel vs concrete? Trump is right that steel is a better material, however the point is that the border patrol said they need a see through wall and steel is perfect for that.
But this ridiculous CNN reporter is trying to turn it into a broken promise if the wall is steel instead of concrete. So dumb.
