What an embarrassment.

Reporters have long had a reputation for being insistent on getting clear answers - not evasive jargon - to their question, and that's how the media works.

Presidents have long had a reputation for being even-keeled, and trying to at least appear to be open to an active media.

Til now.

He came across like a rabid dog that's been cornered.

Got it! All this shows is that Trump knows that they are coming for him guilty or not it’s on borrowed time.

He's probably worried about Lil' Don.

Trump called out his own party for being LOSERS! Name by name! What a fricking idiot. Threatens the Dems and then lies about working together.

So now the WH has pulled the "hard pass" of Jim Acosta for aggression. What ever that is.

The rabid press can't act in the WH like ANTIFA does in the street. They have no right to put their hands on the staff to prevent them from doing their job, and a woman no less.

And many will laugh and applaud!
Why is that? For asking Trump to defend an indefensible statement? Last time I checked we had the right to question our elected officials.

Redefining words and arguing they mean something the reporter makes up on the spot isn't part of the job of a reporter in a press briefing. What it is, is one of the lowest standards of low standards the hate Trump media does routinely. Its a blatant attempt to deprive other reporters who might actually want to ask a relevant question and not endless argument.

Its not the job of a reporter to debate the person holding a press briefing. Nor do that have a right to put their hands on staff who are trying to do their job.

If there was any doubt that we are being led by a petulant little twit the removal of this man's press credentials should end all that. Congratulations to those who have elected a child to run our nation.

I noticed that, too.

I will admit, I heard the conference on NPR, so I did not see whatever it was that happened between Acosta and the other reporter, but what I heard was Trump talking to the press like he was reprimanding a small child, which is also pretty much how he spoke of the Republicans who didn't want "the embrace." That was one of the strangest things I think I've ever heard from a politician. "The embrace?" What is that, anyway? Is it like the Dementor's Kiss?

You guys have a double standard. Accosta was completely out of line.
Acosta tweeted that the WH asked for his credentials that morning, he didn't blame the officer, since "he was just doing his job". I guess when it's a woman "just doing her job", you get to push her away and ignore her directive.

Trump did not name those who climbed on his back and lost. Those he named at HIS rallies and they lost, from Senators, House members, Governor's and local politicians.

Trump lost more then he gained.
