Definitely similar, but Trump wasn’t even angry. It was like he was brushing off a moth.
The rest of the GOP can learn from this.
They have been hiding from a paper tiger all these years, when they could have been winning.
There is an arrogance and sense of untouchability that journalists have that defies logic sometimes.
They think because they have a press badge, write for a blog, show their asses on TV or gossip at a DC party, they’re entitled to be anywhere, any time and act a fool. It is all about THEM, really. Their career, their ratings, viewship, readership or hits.
This gets them into trouble some times. From those times when a ‘journalist’ or ‘photo-journalist’ gets killed in a war zone, or gets violated by Muslim to those times when they get put in their damn place when they act like a two-year old.
Do not suffer fools lightly. Ramos was being very disruptive and did not so much want any answer, but only to divert the attention away from what The Donald was attempting to answer to another of the corps of reporters in the room.
Rightly, the disruptive element was ejected from the room, but was allowed in later when cooler heads had prevailed.
But one thing was demonstrated - The Donald is darned near unflappable.
Unfortunately some of the other press members seemed to be sticking up for Ramos after he was booted out. Trump should have asked them what made Ramos so important that he got to stand up and go ahead of everybody else even though he wasn't called upon. The first person Trump called on wasn't even able to get his question asked because the inconsiderate Ramos kept shouting over him.
Next time this happens, I'd like to see two security guys use his head to open the door like they dealt with that loudmouth in the movie Casino,
Ramos began lecturing Trump. First it was not his turn. Second, reporters should ask questions. Ramos kept saying you cannot do this, you cannot do that. Trump said, sit down please.
I don't know about that, but Trump definitely handled it better than most candidates would have.
F&F had an interesting segment this morning after re-playing the Trump brouhaha. Little Liz read Roger Ailes letter to Trump wherein he chided The Donald for writing mean tweets about Megyn Kelly. Then Liz lectured The Donald about sticking to the issues because vagina and all that. As if Kelly had stuck with the issues in her questioning of Trump the other day at the debate. Simply incredible hypocrisy. I cannot watch FNC except to monitor what a train wreck it is becoming. Trump is definitely inside their OODA loop.
First, I do not trust Trump.
Second, I do support Trump throwing Ramos out. Ramos was disrespectful and disruptive.
Third, every friggin election cycle we have to hear the press try to find that Reagan “this is my microphone” moment or the Clinton “Sista Soulja” moment. The press has no creativity.

The moment in question.
Punk Ramos was out of line.
Trump let him back in later.
I probably would not have—lol!
Was interesting to watch the twitter feed on it afterwards. It seemed as if everyone with a Hispanic name was aghast that such a giant of the media had been so “disrespected”—without any acknowledgment that Ramos was the one being incredibly disrespectful and rude.
Not only did Trump not get flustered or emotional about it, but he immediately said how he’d like the guy to return, and when Ramos did Trump went way out of his way to engage in a dialogue with him on several questions and finish up complimenting Ramos on his honesty while making an overture to further discussion.
Poor Jorge is worried that Trump may be the future owner of Univision after winning his lawsuit...and therefore Jorge’s employer. How do you say “Your fired” en espanol?
You can’t do that...
Sounds like a statement not a question.
Trump was way more cordial than the snarky greaseball.
obama a few months ago kicked out some poor lesbian from his staged news conference.
