Hilarious - CNN thinks they’ve won... and will likely keep pushing further LOL.
Your question is ridiculous.
Trump obviously has the will power to ignore any question.
If you do not think he does, you should not have voted for him.
Did you?
Fair enough. I would reinstate it, along with 150 other ADDITIONAL press members who will also get passes as well. But this will now require overflow seating and an updated seating plan. A nearby outdoor tent for simulcast press briefings would be erected and Acosta will find his seat located there.
Very innovative....
I am with you on this.
Are you kidding? He always shouts down everyone else. Snd he keeps asking follow up questions until he wins.
And if Acosta starts saying that the President must be afraid of tough questions, he can say, "no, we have to protect our staff, and this procedure helps to prevent members of the press from struggling with our interns for control of the microphone. Not that anyone would ever do that....."
Put him in the back and NEVER allow him to ask questions.
Just turn off the video feed.
Problem solved.
There should be NO White House press conferences. There is no requirement that these dog and pony shows be scheduled. A Democrat president only has to sign autographs for his press groupies at these sessions, while Republican presidents are viciously attacked and disrespected, so they are a total waste of time.
Are you kidding me??? Okay, let him come back. But SIT HIM IN THE BACK and NEVER call on him.
Oh I would call on him first and let him ask his question then I simply would move on to the next person. As soon as Baby Jimmy starts whining and interrupting I would cancel the rest of the conference. I would do that everyday until his peers exert pressure on this clown to behave.

Just set up a 21st century remote briefing presser. All questions are taken via live remote and questioners get to ask their question.
Never give CNN another chance and allow different reporters across the country chances to log in and ask a question.
You’d have far better inquiry from media and none of this grandstanding garbage and of course, you’d never have to deal with Acosta or an Acosta type. When they start their speech-making, you cut them off and move on to a real question.
That’s the real solution here. Move the ball into the 21st century.
“nothing saying he has to be allowed into the press room”
Or nothing saying Trump or Sanders will allow him to ask a question.
I guess he could be kicked out of the room but not suspended if he again gets out of line.
Freedom of reporters to get to news sources is important. Today’s ruling is an abstract recognition of that.
Read post #87
This is how it is handled during in house Q&A sessions in some major corporations. Employees get to speak through a mike held by an assigned person. It works.. The press should not get to control it. When you watch the full Acosta video you can clearly see he has no intent on relinquishing the Mike before he does his arm bar maneuver...
And if Acosta starts saying that the President must be afraid of tough questions, he can say, “no, we have to protect our staff, and this procedure helps to prevent members of the press from struggling with our interns for control of the microphone. Not that anyone would ever do that.....”
Good add to how to handle. Well done
Okay, fine. Put him in the back of the room and don’t call on him.
They need to put the intern on TV and have her cry that this judge is traumatizing her.
As I thought, the judge has created a mandatory “due process” for withdrawing a press credential into the White House.
It’s obtuse.
But you know, this will actually be a win.

Another nice way to handle this and have those in the press corps despise him...
Throw them all out and just send out a memo. The administration doesn’t have to let anyone in.
