Another rule is when you have already asked two questions and the host says enough and calls on someone else, you shut up and hand over the mike and sit down.
Reporters can ask any questions they want. There are no rules and there shouldn’t be....1st amendment rights. Trump just didn’t want to answer his questions.

Jimbo states his opinion. That is not asking questions.

Don't be silly! Reporters just ask any inappropriate questions they want. That's just ridiculous.

I am glad that Acosta got his pass back and I don't believe that any media representative should be banned; conservative, liberal, or whatever.....

However the 1st amendment rights protects the freedom of press (from government suppression) but it doesn't mandate that the president to answer the questions.

Had nothing to do with freedom of the press or the 1st amendment.


It is a 5th Amendment issue.
the Fifth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution: “No person shall . . . be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law.”
No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

He will not see the inside of the WH again, while Trump is President.
Acosta was back on his job at the White House Friday.

Trump isn't going to pursue his credentials any further. He's having a rulebook drawn up for the press briefings instead.

Just because Acosta has his press badge back, doesn't mean he will be called on to ask a question.

Wouldn't that be discrimination ? You wouldn't want Trump to be accused of discrimination, would you ?

Have no fear , Acosta is a strong reporter, he WILL get his questions in.

Did you see that huge grin on Acosta's face when Trump's pick for a judge ruled AGAINST Trump ? I bet Donnie didn't have the same smile on his face.

You didn't get the Democrat memo?

Acosta isn’t a reporter. He’s an antagonizer. He purposely tries to bait the president into arguments, not with questions but with accusations and “challenges”.
