Anyone who has a problem with that, that is just going to have to be your problem.
Did you know... Obama is not President anymore? He is not relevant to this discussion.

You're happy about this?

I hope the suspension is temporary. A world where Trump isn't dismantling Acosta is a world I don't want to live in.

What the hell am I paying taxes for if not this?

So he, and his policies should be erased from history? Even the few that are still in place? OK, I'll go along with that! You guys certainly talked about Bush during Obama's eight years, as did Obama.

Don't panic, we'll always have pictures of Jim Acosta staring at Jim Acosta taking selfies of Jim Acosta:

Fantastic press conference. President Trump does an amazing job handling the press and without Jimbo there tantruming, lots of questions asked and answered. LOVE the answer about Moochelle's displeasure with Trump.
The press in more respectful here.

This seems to be the most free Trump has been with the press in awhile.

Obama was a cancer on this country. Trump is the chemotherapy. Who wants to go through chemotherapy? Only somebody who is stricken with cancer, who has no other choice. Nobody else. This is where we are right now, and Obama and the Democrat left are very largely responsible for that.

Obama's tactics with the press were much more problematic than Trump's. In fact, where Obama got swooning deference from the press, Trump has been the recipient of unprecedented partisan animosity from that same press.

You can use that goofy word 'whataboutism' all you want. My response is always going to be to say, 'hell yeah, what about Obama?' The precedents he set are relevant and if the press were to treat Trump with the same deference that they treated Obama, none of these problems with the press would be occurring.

Every time you use the term 'whataboutism' from now on, I am going to go out of my way to introduce an example or a precedent by Barack Obama in response. I encourage anyone else who has no respect for this self-serving nonsense to do the same.

The Democrat left should know by now what they can do with their 'whataboutism' blather. They can stick it where the sun doesn't shine.

So Obama is a “cancer” yet also the bar against which you measure Trump. Why would you choose to do that. Shouldn’t Mr Cheetothrapy be held to a standard higher than “better than cancer”? Your standards are that low?

Lordy Mercy. I've never seen so much politically correct BS in my life. He never touched her even IF you watched the Infowars fake video - which I am SURE you did.
