President Donald Trump hinted Friday he could revoke more journalists’ White House credentials, as he called one reporter a “loser” and accused another of asking a “stupid question.” Before departing for a trip to Paris, Trump was asked how long the pass of CNN’s Jim Acosta would be suspended. “I haven’t made that decision,” he replied. “But it could be others also.” Trump lashed out at two other reporters: April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks — who is also a CNN analyst — and Abby Phillip, a White House correspondent for CNN. CNN is a unit of AT&T Inc.’s T, -1.43% WarnerMedia. Unprompted, he said of Ryan: “You talk about somebody that’s a loser, she doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing.”

Acosta wasn’t even asking a question, he was voicing an opinion
They should set up a website perhaps and only have questions submitted in writing. The answers could be a bit more considered too, offering a critique of the premises of the questions when they are bogus. I think when Acosta was trying to stay live on the microphone, he was trying to get Trump to comment on his attitude towards immigration using the caravan as an example. Of course the caravan(s) are not even examples of immigration for two reasons, one being that they have not reached a border, the other being that when or if they do, they won’t be entering legally. So how could this illustrate anyone’s attitude towards immigration?
This might not occur in the heat of the moment but after a few seconds of studying the question, that sort of answer could be offered. Knowing this, the media might then start to ask more sensible questions. That, I realize, is a stretch.
Yahoo always uses that pic to try and make the President look bad.
A pox on Yahoo.
If you lose your White House credentials, you have proven you don’t have the ability to pass a White House security clearance.
Acosta should never be allowed to return.
That B from the Urban network (or whatever) should have been jettisoned as well.
BEHAVE (or else)
Yup, that's because she's had all the hate America, leftwing education affirmative action can provide.
“A highly intelligent woman if ever I did see one”
She should be stealing votes in Broward county.
President Trump kicking a$$ and taking names.
I would simply do no more press conferences.
They are not Constitutionally required.
Trump should basically buy time and do TV “talks/fireside chats.” The rats of course can respond likewise and we will see if anyone actually bother s to pay attention. Trump should continue to do his rallies. The rats like Zero did a “constant campaign” so should Trump. With modern communications flying around and staying in touch to the WH is no problem.
WH press conferences are our attempt to copy “Prime Minister Question Time” in the UK parliament. Another activity long on tradition & acerbic wit but short on actual information. Government by “bon mot” always seemed to me to be a stupid thing to do. The British have done it for years. Now look at them! Yes it can be entertaining and give some delicious comedy! They can do their “Yes Prime Minister” as a sort of “ government policy in action” and its fun to watch. We do “West Wing, Madam Secretary”, etc. and you immediately change the channel and ask yourself if TV was all a mistake.
President Trump End the Press Conference Circus! If I want a circus I will go to the circus (If I can find one!)
Publish a power point presentation of the points you want made & let everyone download it. the media can have angst festivals about it all day long for all I care.
President Trump should not threaten to pull reporter’s credentials. He should pull the credentials of every main stream media reporter. Until they learned to act civilized, only OANN and RWBN reporters should be given credentials.
April Ryan is stupid and has no respect for his office or the WH.
What amazes me is that a president of the U.S. can influence the ratings and stock price of an industry.
And it bugs them to no end.

The only reason the leftist press brings up the caravan is to try and portray Trump as a racist who hates brown people. It’s a sickening ploy and a ruse to slime our president.
The MSM need to have repercussions after all the harm they’ve done to our Republic. This is on a continuous basis and needs to stop.
“That’s all he has to do for 2 more years: call them stupid, a**holes, worthless pieces of leftwing trash etc. I am totally cool with it President Trump. :)”
Trump has never used that kind of language regarding reporters.
Obviously, Market Watch is just another fake news organization trying to give cover to the non-journalist WH press corps POSs. None of the “reporters” mentioned in the article deserve any respect from Trump or the American people. They are nothing more than propagandists for the Liberals, as are the organizations that they represent. CNN is absolutely worthless as a source for news and information.
No more comments from the press, one question, put down the mike, question gets answered.
Also, have a lottery for questions, 30 reporters, 10 questions, random people get to ask.
He should do "one and done". Ask a stupid question, get kicked out for a month.
I can imagine a reporter asking, "Did you kick the black reporter out because you are a racist?" Trump could say "That's a stupid question. See you in a month."
It should be called Marxist Watch. It's such a leftwing sewer that I had to take a shower after visiting the site. You should read the comments. Even if the story is about what the market is doing and somehow not about how much they hate Trump, there are nothing but snowflakes pissing and moaning about our President in the comment section.
Do it, Mr. President!
And the name taking is optional!
