I have always thought that the President should control the press meetings by NOT allowing questions from the sitting pool of reporters. Rather the reporters who want to ask a question should be required to submit those questions in writing 30 min prior to the press meeting.

The President’s staff can then collect all of the questions and where there are several that are similar, compose a question that 1) reduces the long preamble questions down to a simply worded question 2) the off topic questions can be tossed. and 3) there will be no media personalities trying to make their “bones” on gottcha questions.

During the press conference, the top few re-worded questions can be read one at a time by a staffer and the President can respond. No questions from the press. The reading would be something like:

We received the following paraphrased question from X, Y and Z ....(Read the question). This would even allow for questions to be submitted via the Internet if the President so desired.

Of course the press would scream about access but hey, “my house, my rules”. If you don’t like those rules and abide by them, I am sure there is some other individual that would like to have your seat at the press meetings.

There are lies of commission and lies of omission, and the press peddling this story are committing the omission one big time - neglecting to mention that Ramos stood up without being called on and continued to talk through Trump attempting to answer questions from others for several minutes before being ushered out - he kept talking loudly all the way out of the room - wonder what would have happened had someone behaved that way through one of Obama’s rare pressers.....

Trump didn't "kick" anyone out.

More Washington ComPost crap.

I saw the whole thing...Trump almost imperceptibly nodded to his security back-up who then quietly walked up to the little publicity-seeking shrimp and asked him quietly to sit down...and the little puke purposefully decided to make a celebrity out of himself by not sitting....and the big bouncer gently and peacefully walked the provocateur out of the room.

This should be good for another five points for the Donald.

They are of course spinning this like Trump did something wrong instead of the truth..Ramos acted like a spoiled child and refused to shut up and wait his turn.

"Funny tweet about this on Twitter:"

The last place I'd look for a tweet, but that's a great one.

"Ramos should be on Hannity'

He was (IIRC) last week. And you're right, he didn't shut up from the second the red light came on. Shawn tried a couple of times to get in, but Ramos kept right on yapping, wall won't work, it's racist, nation of immigrants, too much $ to deport, Illegals hard workers, jobs 'you' won't do, anchor babies US citizens. I'm sure it sounded a lot like his material today.

When did latinos become the most important voters in America?

And why does our FCC license spanish language stations? It allows us to be colonized by an alien culture that has no desire to assimilate.

What’s the right word ... undocumented worker? illegal immigrant? Something else? Interestingly, outside of the US, if you happen to enter that country without papers (aka “illegally”), then most languages have just one word for that:

Spain..................deportados
France................déportés
German...............deportiert
Danish.................deporteret
Hungarian............deportáltak
Slovanian.............deportirali
Norwegian............deportert

Or, alternatively, if you don’t get deported, then you may learn the meaning of one of these words:

Spain..................encarcelado
France................emprisonné
German...............inhaftiert
Danish.................fængslet
Hungarian............bebörtönzött
Slovanian.............zaprli
Norwegian............fengslet

Cruz got this same guy to admit to some of his hypocrisy. Meanwhile Trump is so scared of him he had to have him kicked out. He can prevail over him at his own press conference. Shades of Bill Clinton avoiding talking to the press for two years. Can we afford to have this weak and wimpy a man in the presidency? If this Ramos idiot is too strong for Trump, what is he going to do when confronted with Putin or ISIS? Hide in a closet? When the 3:00 AM call come, will he have the phone kicked out of the White House so he doesn't have to deal with it?

This country can't afford to have such a pathetic, weak leader.

Wrong. First, Ramos rudely interrupted Trump's press conference (with other media present), and refused to sit back down until called upon. (Link to Video)

Then, Trump had him back in about 10 minutes later, and talked to him for about five minutes, and addressed his questions. Wimpy? (Link to Video)

Feel free to actually research the issue next time before spouting off.

Wow. I mean you learn from this man. He has great patience and composure. He ended by telling Ramos, “we’ll be talkin allot in the future.” Very respectful. I think Trump can speak to anyone....even a guy like Farrahkhan. The man probably taught Dale Carnegie courses.

Obvivously, this guy didn’t see the conference. Trump was very respectful, but the man wasn’t. Very funny...loved every minute of it.
