Ouch, that's got to hurt.

Donald Trump has told so many lies during his time in office, it’s almost as if he’s allergic to the truth. The former reality show star’s lies are easily disproved, but the number of mistruths is vast — so much so that President Liar Pants has likely exhausted fact-checkers. On Tuesday, CNN’s Jim Acosta on Tuesday wasn’t having it and got into a fiery exchange with Trump after the president once again lashed out at the network during a presser in New Delhi, India.

Acosta asked Trump if he would pledge to reject any foreign interference in the upcoming presidential campaign.

“First of all, I want no help from any country, and I haven’t been given help from any country,” Trump insisted. “And if you see what CNN, your wonderful network, said, I guess they apologized in a way for — didn’t they apologize for the fact that they said certain things that weren’t true? Tell me, what was their apology yesterday? What did they say?”

“Mr. President, I think our record on delivering the truth is a lot better than yours sometimes,” Acosta shot back.

“Let me tell you about your record, your record is so bad you ought to be ashamed of yourself,” Trump said. “You have the worst record in the history of broadcasting.”

“I’m not ashamed of anything and our organization is not ashamed,” Acosta replied.

Watch:

The difference is that CNN will admit to mistakes, but Trump is incapable of doing that.

Trump was also asked about attempts to purge his administration of people that are deemed as disloyal, but the president said he did not think it was a “big problem” affecting “very many people.”

“We want to have people that are good for the country, are loyal to our country because that was a disgraceful situation,” he said, citing his agonizing impeachment ordeal.

Trump wants loyalty from people who will back up his crimes which he lies about. There’s an obvious reason he didn’t go under oath. We’re talking about a guy who altered a fucking weather map to back up a lie he told.
