Activist reporter Jim Acosta has a desperate craving for constant attention, and he is now suggesting that he was ogled by President Donald J. Trump.
Trump has raised eyebrows with a series of comments about the posteriors of male Republicans during rallies, giving rise to the left’s latest wild conspiracy theory that the president is secretly gay.
The ex-CNN pest leapt at the chance to insert himself into the narrative during an interview with vile left-wing banshee Jennifer Welch, suggesting that Trump may have made eyes at him when he was covering the White House during the president’s first term.
During their chat at the Politics and Prose bookstore in Washington, D.C. over the weekend, the two were discussing the podcaster’s new book “Not Today, Fascists” when the topic of Trump’s peculiar remarks came up.

Welch recalled interviewing former DHS official and author Miles Taylor, who claimed that during speeches, Trump made the “weird request” to “have the hot guys visible,” adding her own opinion that “it’s kind of gay.”
“It may be more than kind of,” Acosta said. “I will tell you, during the first term when I covered him over at the White House, he would kind of look in the press area and he would see me sometimes and he’d make eye contact and be like,” nodding his head approvingly.
“I’m like, ‘Noooo! Please, dear God, no.” “ This is not going any farther than this,” he added, as Welch cackled wickedly.
“But you’re so right,” he continued.
“He does these rallies recently, ‘Have you seen the New York Giants quarterback? He’s really big and strong and good-looking,’” he said, referring to the injured NFL gunslinger Jaxon Dart.
“He does that whole thing, and I’m like, why is he so horny for this quarterback?” Acosta asked.
“I looked at his ass, and I’ve never done that with a man before, it’s true,” Trump told the crowd at a recent rally, referring to Sen. Jon Husted (R-Ohio), a former college football player.
President Trump says “I looked at his ass and I’ve never done that with a man before,” in reference to Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH). He also says “off the record,” he does so for women: “By the way, I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj.” https://t.co/SqIt3izyky

Trump’s observations earned him the nickname of “assman-in-chief,” from Acosta’s former CNN colleague Anderson Cooper, who himself is quite an authority on men’s rear ends.
In what would seem to be a public debunking of the conspiracy theories bandied about by Acosta and “Allison” Cooper, Trump also greatly admired the rump of one of his biggest fans, rapper Nicki Minaj, at a weekend rally in Michigan.
“I hope Nicki wasn’t insulted.”
President Trump makes a joke about Nicki Minaj’s backside during his Michigan campaign rally before quickly adding, “We love Nicki. She’s been with us for a long time.”
The moment comes as Minaj joins the president on the campaign trail ahead of the midterm elections.

Trump complimented her for “one hell of a beautiful ass” as he gave a shout-out to the pro-MAGA rapper who joined him onstage in Port Huron, where he was campaigning for Republican Senate candidate Mike Rogers.
