President Trump took a question from Jim Acosta, who finished by asking he call on a female reporter. The Daily Caller reports:

President Donald Trump shrugged at a Wednesday press conference when CNN reporter Jim Acosta demanded a female journalist get to ask a question after him.

Acosta received a question from the president at a press conference at the United Nations in New York City on Wednesday. Before asking his question, Acosta demanded that the next question go to one of his female colleagues in the press corps.

“If you don’t mind, after I’m finished if … one of our female colleagues could go after me that would be great,” Acosta said.

Trump appeared confused and asked, “What does he mean by that?”

This is yet another grandstanding attempt by the CNN journalist.
