‘People have to behave!’ Trump tells reporters he’ll ultimately beat CNN’s Jim Acosta in court after judge orders White House to restore press pass – and warns he can end his press conferences early if journalists don’t have ‘decorum’
FTA: President Donald Trump warned the political press corps on Friday not to rejoice too loudly about a court decision that forced him to temporarily restore the press pass the White House confiscated last week from CNN reporter Jim Acosta.
He predicted he will ultimately win CNN’s lawsuit challenging the White House’s action, which a federal judge ruled had singled out Acosta and denied him a constitutionally guaranteed ‘due process’ to defend himself.
Trump said the White House is now ‘writing up rules and regulations’ to create a process that can be used to punish unruly reporters who don’t maintain what he called ‘decorum’ during press conferences.
‘We’re setting up a certain standard which is what the court is requesting,’ he said, adding that ‘with the rules and regulations, we will end up back in court and we will win.’
Good question.
“Asking for a friend. And for half of America.”
good one!
