Says who? Your thin skinned idiot of a president?

yes

the president is allowed to set rules for the meeting. he is the host. you can't just let people take up all the time for themselves. you want just Acosta doing on a one on one with Trump asking 1 hundred questions and not letting anyone else in? to make it fair the rule was set at 2 questions per reporter. don't like? then stay out.

He basically said he had all the time in the world to answer questions. He went on to say, let me know when you get bored, and then we can end this.
I am paraphrasing here...but the sentiment was made.

the reporter was not assaulted what are you talking about? taking a mic from his hands is not assault. especially when he was breaking the rules.

Physically grabbing something from someone's hands is legally assault

this is moot anyway as trumps administration is arguing that he puts his hands on a woman and he just didn't

Right? Like all they had to do was accurately state that he wasnt allowed to ask more questions and rescind his access due to that. But Trumps base loves to be lied to so why bother telling the truth?

Question time in the UK isn't anything more than political grandstanding that consists mostly of people reading dramatic letters from constituents and then asking a "question" that's basically a declaration of your party line, peppered liberally with snarky comments. There's basically nothing of value gained from that sort of process either. Just look at any televised congressional hearing.

And consider this was only like his third press conference or some shit since being confirmed.

That's almost two years!

Mainly because America learned live what a pathetic bitch he was after his first press conference. As well, we learned how delusional his supporters were and how they spin faster than a tilt a whirl

Acosta was trying to get bitch ass Trump to answer a question

the rule was 2 questions per reporter. acosta tried to ask 3. fuck acosta


So you believe it's okay to assualt someone over asking 1 extra question.

That's a strikingly low threshold for a "totally not a Trump supporter" to flip and take Trump's side with.

The other reporters in the room are just spineless pieces of shit who are more concerned with just being in that room than actually holding the President accountable.

I'm pretty sure posting a photo of Zikten's unkempt rectum would result in a ban. Stop trying to entice users into breaking the ToS.

Yeah it isn't great, sometimes it's a complete farce, but the leader gets held to account, has to answer, and doesn't get to pick who questions them. I always thought the US system was far too reverential. Someone like Trump needs to be told when he's outright lying, and not have the ability to hide.

Or they actually respect the privilege of having that kind of access. Acosta was rude and unprofessional. He got what he deserved.

What else are you going to call it? They all just sat there, accepted the bullshit spewing from his mouth that had nothing to do with the question they asked, and then left at the end.

When he finished with his "racist question" meltdown everyone just moved on like it didn't happen. He basically outright stated that he thinks Jeff Flake is re****ed. Everyone just moved on like it didn't happen.

Id call it doing their jobs properly and respecting protocol. You let the idiot give idiotic answers and then report on them. Refusing to give up the mic after your turn is disrespectful to the other journalists.

Granted, thats entirely irrelevant when it comes to the White House blatantly lying about what happened.

It might be more they are all so used to it and feel that spending time trying to refute him is pointless as he won't listen and nor will his supporters. Trump knows this and is why he does it, because through sheer delusion and stubbornness he's worn down resistance.
