Trump berates CNN's Jim Acosta in contentious White House news conference
The Washington Times ^ | November 7, 2018 | S.A. Miller

President Trump on Wednesday admonished CNN reporter Jim Acosta for “rude” behavior and ordered him to sit down during a heated exchange at the White House.

At a press conference, Mr. Acosta repeatedly asked the president about his tough stance against a U.S.-bound migrant caravan was “demonizing” immigrants. He then refused to give up the microphone.

“You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN,” Mr. Trump told Mr. Acosta. “The way you treat Sarah Huckabee [Sanders] is horrible. And the way you treat other people is horrible. You shouldn’t treat people that way.”

He is allowed because he plays right into President Trump’s hands...He looks like a fool...He makes CNN look like fools...He shows such rudeness that people do not ignore him...When President Trump allows him to stay after the President calls him out for his caustic rudeness, it makes the President look very, very fair...

You’re absolutely correct.

Acosta tries to set up President Trump every time he’s called on. The phrasing he puts out while supposedly asking a question is an insult to begin with and Trump is tired of it so he cuts him off.

When Acosta refuses to shut up and sit he should be escorted out by the security people and informed he’s not welcome back, ever.

Watched it and Trump should have had his ass forcefully removed from the room and would have been in the right to do so.

Acosta will need more than one lesson. Trump will give it to him.

Gutless punk Acosta knows he isn’t going to be at the Trump rallies now and is brave all of a sudden.

There is no requirement whatsoever to continue giving these hostile, ignorant glory hogs their time in the limelight. Shut it down, send them back to their overpriced, poop-strewn blue enclaves and start taking serious substantive questions from citizens.

Acosta believes that all publicity is good publicity. If CNN fires him, he’ll be at NBC/CBS/ABC the next day and right back in the WH press pool.

I don’t think CNN fires him and indeed his antics play right into Trump’s hands.

Dear presstitutes,

You only get one question so make it a good one.

I got news alerts on my phone from two different sources after this happened. Surely there are more important things happening than this?
