    A President doesn't have to tell the press a damn thing. Show me where the Constitution says he does. Press briefing are a privilege not a right. Acosta lost that.

    Not that hard to do. Trump is notoriously thin-skinned.



    Except president man-baby didn't revoke Acosta's hard pass for those reasons. Instead, he's doing it based on a fallacious narrative involving a phantom assault on a defenseless woman. Once again, Trump and his supporters are embarrassing themselves by promoting and defending risible falsehoods.

    The bottom line is Trump and Sarah Sanders could have just said, “Look, we’re revoking Jim Acosta’s press pass because he’s rude and we don’t like him,” and I would have defended their stance even though I disagree with it. That would have at least been the truth.

    Instead, they chose to not only lie about the reason, they actually shared knowingly doctored video of the incident to support the lie. That is way over the line of how the incident should have been handled and crosses dangerously into 1984 territory. The administration has become so accustomed to lying its ass off that it chose to doctor the facts in order to support yet another lie. I don’t care what your political affiliation is, that should be highly disturbing.

    did you not see the unedited version at the beginning of this thread?
    As for the remainder of your post, all that is, is talking points.............without substance. And the only proof you have is in your head.

    But that wouldn’t get their base riled up, they need anger and confrontation to get their base to charge up their hoverounds so they can lead the charge of “taking their country back”.

    All you have to ask, is, if Acosta was such an $#@! to Trump and he is who the right says he is, why did Trump call on him in the first place? Because trump was looking for a fight to release his anger over the mid-term elections.

    Nice narrative but for one thing, Republicans still control the Senate where future court nominations will be considered and if the Democrat House impeaches it will be heard. Why would Trump be angry about that?
