Once you start on this fantasy theres no hope. Obama had a press core that asked questions some of them pretty hard. Thats the reality. Meanwhile in your fantasy you have some conspiracy theory that they were all buddies. Folks, the press had a job, same now as back then. Your fantasies where republicans are this powerless group are just that.

If you don't like him, feel free to move. Venezuela sounds good.
But Presidents don't normally insult reporters and tell them outrageous lies to their faces either. I have to question anyones judgment who feels Trump behavior is even remotely acceptable.

There is complete video of his interaction. He didn't assault the lady in question, or any of that nonsense. Grow up and stop drinking the koolaid folks. So much for claims of me moving the goalposts.

Is anybody accusing him of assault? You're the only one I've seen use that term.

So you are going on the record saying it's OK for a man to push a woman away who is just doing her job.

I have mixed feelings on this.

Acosta absolutely acts in bad faith and routinely behaves like one of the young ladies from “Beverly Hills, 90210.”

But isn’t that his right? Like, he shouldn’t do it if he were a responsible journalist. But just because you shouldn’t do something if you’re acting like a decent adult doesn’t mean you can’t.

But what is to stop the next Dem president from doing this to a Fox News reporter?

I don’t like Jim Acosta, but I’m not sure this is the right move.

Then Trump needs to act like he’s the president and stop letting people get under his skin.

Please list them.
You watched the video I’m sure you and the other Tump supporters stuck your fingers in your ears and played MST 3000. Trumps can’t handle the pressure of being president that much is clear he showed the world that today. You can’t act like a 5 year having a temper tantrum because you didn’t like the questions your asked.
Even more so when your the president of the U.S.

"Fake News" was their term to begin with. It's kinda funny that Trump stole it and made it his own thing, but there's a lot of truth to the accusations. Trump is a real life Internet troll. He is astoundingly good at getting people to freak out and when the news media freaks out, they lose what little objectivity they had left. He messes with their heads and they keep getting more and more and more biased and propagandist as a result. This destroys their credibility and people everywhere take up the mantra, "Fake News!" And they freak out even more, become even more unobjective and politically biased.

Trump is trolling the overpaid obsolete mega corporate news media into committing suicide. It's a very strange thing to watch. Remember when they used to actually report the news? Now they're obsessing about how evil Trump is all day, with a tiny trickle of actual news sneaking its way in through the cracks on occasion. They don't even realize what Trump has turned them into. it's sad.

The Dems and the news media could fix things. Just dial everything back, make peace and hug it out with Orange Hitler and just calm down. They absolutely can do it, but they just won't. The Dems took the house. Their plan? "RESIST!!" He's going to play the same game on them too. Trump is about to con several hundred grown adults into not doing the job of running he country and yet somehow they just can't help themselves.
