I didn't say the White House will ban him, I said "If the White House wants to, they can ban Acosta today".
They won't ban him, because they are a very compassionate and tolerant White House.

Again, the key word is discretion. She answered the follow-up questions, from all the reporters who asked one - at her discretion.

He doesn't understand much about the Constitution, for sure. And like a 12-year-old boy, he covers for his ignorance and fear with insults.

See above. Trump is displaying textbook arrested development.

Same as Bolton today, saying he didn't speak Arabic as if that's some answer to the tough questions he was asked.

Low energy, low budget brains. Congrats. That's what you're idolizing.
Yeah. Trump treats the citizens of the United States like dirt under his shoe. Ugh.

Not sure you understand how reporting works. No, on second thought, I am sure you don't understand how reporters do their jobs.

LMAO. More likely because they finally know they don't have a leg to stand on.

They can ban him and they will be back in Court within hours. The District Judge will issue another TRO and the White House would ultimately lose the case because the rules that have been imposed fall far short of the guidelines expressly set forth in Sherrill. Educate yourself.

And for the record, he takes and answers more questions than Obama ever did.
I'm curious how he does that when he never holds press conferences. Educate me.

Stop watching censored news. Subscribe to youtube's White House channel and get updates on everything. Or just go the the videos page and see all the times Trump talked to the presstitutes. Then watch cabinet meetings, events with foreign dignitaries, meetings with senior advisors on policy issues, etc. You won't need to waste any more time watching censored news.

We pay him to be a jackass toward the uncivil Left. Your just on the wrong team.
