Acosta trolls Trump with tweet saying he WILL cover the president's visit to Paris after White House strip him of press credentials over angry clash with president

Acosta, a longtime critic of the president, tweeted from Paris that he was there to cover Trump's visit

He was denied access to the White House on Wednesday night and his pass was confiscated after a heated press-conference shouting match with Trump

It ended with brief physical contact with a female intern who tried to take the microphone

On Friday Trump told DailyMail.com as he left the White House that he hasn't decided how long Acosta will be without a press pass, and more bans may follow

He also lashed out at a black reporter who appears on CNN as a commentator, calling her a 'loser' who 'doesn't know what the hell she's doing' in her job

Ryan shouted out questions Wednesday despite Trump never calling on her, a tactic she uses with some success to press the administration on race issues

CNN reporter Acosta tweeted a defiant message to Donald Trump from Paris Friday, saying he intends to cover the president's trip there despite being stripped of White House press credentials.

The reporter tweeted a view of the Eiffel Tower and said: 'Greetings from Paris where we are on the ground for Trump’s trip to France. #1A'

The hashtag is a reference to the first amendment, which guarantees freedom of the press.

Acosta's French message suggests that he will attempt to gain access to events attended by Trump to commemorate the end of World War One even though he no longer carries Secret Service-issued press credentials.

Those credentials are themselves meaningless in Paris, raising the possibility that he will once again be in proximity to the president.

Another reporter trying to be part of the news. Well, not actually a reporter.

Yeah I’ve been anticipating that Acosta will attack the President physically at some point. All the red flags are there.

Hmm, stalker? Maybe Macron can have a cop trail him around and the first time he jaywalks, issue a ticket. Don’t the press also have to obtain passes in France?

They didn’t revoke his press credentials, only CNN can take away his status as a CNN “repurter”. The White House revoked his pre-cleared security pass, which means he’s now treated like any other day visitor to the White House, which involves waiting in line for security screening and an admittance pass. Boo Hoo.

“Mr President, in the press pool, replace CNN with Breitbart. Repeat as necessary using new media as replacements until the press corps learns some manners and comity.”

Yes that is a good suggestion.

Another FReeper also had an excellent suggestion — can’t remember which one now . :-)

This FReeper said we should treat this like bootcamp such that when one screws up they all get punished. Particularly since most seem to be in cahoots with one another.

??? WH didn’t say Acosta couldn’t be the CNN mouthpiece, did they? Only that Acosta is/was not welcome at the WH briefings in the near future.

The selfie tweet makes him the stupidest ‘reporter’ on earth, and in his own mind the bravest firefighter or something...

Might be best to just ignore him at this point.
Let the buffoon flail and embarrass himself into obscurity.

Yes sir, they absolutely will—so he’d best be prepared spend some time back here in the States in a Federal prison for quite a while.

But that could start a 1st Amendment crisis. Evil is protected by our FA.
