Jim Acosta Challenges POTUS to “Fight Club” Brawl
A Bodacious Media exclusive

CNN’s chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta has called out President Trump for his constant and unrelenting put-downs of the highly-respected journalist, who, to his credit has remained unperturbed and professional.
During one of their more recent sparrings which took place last month in India — half a world away — things quickly degenerated when Trump took his usual pot-shots at CNN’s credibility. The vitriolic interchange went as follows:
“Mr. President, I think our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours sometimes, if you don’t mind me saying,” Acosta replied.
“Let me tell you about your record,” Trump said. “Your record is so bad you ought to be ashamed of yourself.”
“I’m not ashamed of anything, and our organization’s not ashamed,” Acosta said, as Trump continued, “You probably have the worst record in the history of broadcasting.”
And on, like that.
Now, in an unprecedented move, Acosta has declared he will settle this “pissing contest” once and for all by “kicking some orange ass.”
This, even though in November of last year, Acosta was vindicated by a federal judge who declared that he could reclaim the White House press credentials that POTUS revoked, the newsman is apparently seeking vindication of a different kind.
An Acosta associate, who requested anonymity, said that the newsman called the White House and, after a twenty-minute confab with POTUS, made an announcement stating, “It’s on. It is SO on.”
Bodacious Media (BM) learned that the “on” in question is a mano-a-mano brawl between Acosta and POTUS: Bare-knuckled, no shoes, no shirts…and in a ring, much like the underground “fight clubs.”
No one was more surprised than Acosta when POTUS accepted the challenge. His one concession: “He needs a couple of weeks to tone up and get a pedicure,” said Acosta. If you ask me, a couple of years, is more like it. I don’t care. I’m ready for him either way.”
Melania, unsurprisingly, is behind the brawl “one hundred percent” and has junior White House aides, who Trump fondly refers to as “peons,” scrambling to build a ring in the East Wing, along with a viewing section for the audience.
The event, which is to be by invitation only, will be refereed by Acosta’s CNN colleague Anderson Cooper.
When BM expressed surprise that the normally self-contained Cooper would be part of a proceeding centered around two human beings trying to beat one another to a pulp, Acosta waved it away, saying, “Don’t let that polite, rich boy demeanor fool you. AC can throw down. You should see him after a couple of Long Island Iced Teas.”
We will keep readers informed of the event as it progresses. As it stands, an actual date has not been nailed down as POTUS, busy mishandling the response to the Coronavirus, has been wavering in his earlier concession to get in the ring with Acosta, stating that former White House Press Secretary, Sarah Sanders Huckabee, might be a better choice. “She’s fast on her feet and big,” Trump said. “If anyone can take Jim Acosta down, it’s Sarah.”
