Total fraud and coward.
Trump has shown that we dont need press reports which are mostly bias. He can communicate using his cell phone and cut out the middle men liars,,,,Acosta did us all a favor by showing his bias.

Trump had Acosta shunned. Nobody will talk to him. Eventually he'll be reassigned.

Meh. Trump shunned the entire White House press corps. Until Trump, there was at least a weekly meeting with the press in the White House press room, and sometimes daily meetings during times of emergency and the like.
Most of them are handled by the White House Press Secretary. After Sarah Sander's departure, the current Press Secretary has never held a conference so far, and said she has no plans to hold one for as long as she's on the job.

Trump talks to them a few feet away from the White House helicopter these days. This forces the press to should above the noise of the helo, and that allows Trump to ignore any questions he doesn't want to answer.

If Trump wants to rant, he will stop farther away from the helo, rant his rant, then go straight aboard. He's finally got the control he always wanted.

But that's their job, so they're all still there, still assigned. The press room has been unused for so long everything in it needs a good dusting now.

3-4 Reporters blew it with Trump being Primadonna's and and becoming the news instead of just wanting to report the news.

If there are ever Meetings again they should either remove the Cameras or have a fixed camera on the podium only.

Acosta was the Head Prima Donna.

And Trump is getting his news out through Twitter, Heli Pressers and other Press Briefings.
He's actually speaking to the People way more than previous Presidents.

Just Directly. We don't need no Stinkin Acosta or other reporter to tell us what to think.

I seem to remember a fellow named Obama who would go for months without talking to the Press. But go ahead and live in that little head castle of yours on TDS street.
