No. Trump has gone too far. He's just stepping up his campaign to silence and intimidate journalists who criticize or question.

The job of the media is to ask authority figures uncomfortable questions, not to be the easy ******* of the right wing.

There is a time and place for questions but Acosta interrupts and grandstands.

He should have his Press Credentials temporarily suspended for his actions in Singapore.

IF
that's the case then Trump should be given a time-out from being POTUS for his actions in Helsinki.

You think Trump is rough on reporters?


FWIW Acosta was a jerk, rude and had no respect for the other reporters trying to ask questions, let alone the President.

Actually the WH is now backtracking by just saying he was rude. That's what happens when you get slapped with a lawsuit while lying. A gaslighter gotta gaslight.

Seriously? What a wimpy president!

Can you imagine if Sam Donaldson or Dan Rather was around?

Reagan managed to deal with both.

All presidents before this snowflake was able to handle the press--and I've seen them more aggressive than this.

But not with the open hostility and disrespect that these good people have .
