Acosta needs to put on his big-boy pants and be something other than an attention grabber working to strengthen his position for the next round of contract negotiations. Trump needs to realize he is the president of everyone and is above the pettiness of petulant journalists. And both of them need to realize rolling in the mud with the pigs may be fun, but in the end, you all become sausage.

Trump won in a Knock Out.
Author is wrong. Period.
Blah Blah Blah, Acosta needs to be bared from the press room.
He does nothing but make political statemnts in the form of BS questions, none benefit the American public.
FU Jim Acosta
“Trump needs to realize he is the president of everyone and is above the pettiness of petulant journalists”
I would’ve had Acosta tasered and physically removed by the secret service.
Trump is way way above these punk b!tches in the fakestream media. These children should have their press passes revoked and told to never come back.
This article is wrong. You show respect for POTUS even if you don’t like him - even if you work at CNN. Acosta should have already been suspended from the press pool after the stunt he pulled when Trump was in the UK and having a press conference with the Prime Minister. Jim Acosta behavior has been WAY out of line for a long time, and he’s the only one who has been suspended. Coincidence? Nope.
Acosta was already “in the mud” and was trying to pull Trump in with him...it didn’t work.
Meanwhile, Acosta was also trying to monopolize Trump’s time and attention by denying his fellow journalists their turn to ask questions and bullying his way through a WH intern’s attempts to obey the President’s order to “move on”.
If it was me (as President) I would have banned the entirety of CNN.
Trump simply said (in effect) “shut up and get out of my house”.
Trump will remain President for the next 2, if not 6, years.
Acosta was belligerent against his host & proxies, to the point of laying hands on Trump’s employee.
Acosta was duly kicked out of Trump’s house, and should remain duly evicted until Trump does likewise.
Yes, there’s a winner & loser: Trump is still POTUS, Acosta is on the verge of losing his job*.
* - Most HR departments wouldn’t hesitate to fire someone for doing exactly that.
Just because you can compose a colorful metaphor, that doesn’t make it true. Back in 1987, Trump responded to his critics when he was told THAT was beneath him. He asked why is that? And apparently he has not received a convincing response.
Back in 2008 Marlo Thomas “conservative” Peggy Noonan tutted that Palin couldn’t win attacking the press. Trump demonstrated how you win by not taking crap from ANYbody: The press can get Trump to be civil with them. They simple have to be fair and civil themselves.
America voted for Trump because he seemed to be a street fighter. If you go into a street fighter's house and act disrespectful, you better be prepared to get thrown out on your ass.
The person who wrote this is a FREEPER??????
The president needs to insist that these loser reporters treat him and Sanders with the respect due their office. When the president of the United States tells you to sit down and shut up, you need to sit down and shut up. Assholes like Acosta do not have any right to go the the home of the President and treat him like he is a common criminal.
If Trump ever allows Acosta back into the WH again, then Trump will be guilty of disrespecting the office he holds. I wouldn’t even allow that assclown the privilege of a WH tour when the President is out of the country. He needs to be on the Secret Service list of people who aren’t even allowed within 1000 yards of the president.
We’re above all that.
It’s not who we are.
We’re better than that.
Both sides are to blame.

No.
Republican Presidents have allowed journalists to bully them and set the agenda for much too long.
President Trump is showing he will not allow them to trample all over him as if they have control over him.
He *must* show he is not intimidated by the Media.
Freedom of the Press is guaranteed by the First Amendment of the Constitution.
PDJT isn't nice to certain reporters
Not being nice to a reporter is an attack on the reporter.
An attack on any reporter is an attack on the Press.
An attack on the Press is an attack on the Constitution.
Therefore PDJT has attacked the Constitution.
Therefore PDJT has "caused a Constitutional Crisis."
Therefore PDJT must be impeached.
Bull shit! President Trump has turned the woman bullying, cowardly son of a bitch every which but loose each time they met. And as far as that goes, Sarah Sanders got the best of the bastard also.
Agreed.
Trump should not engage these reporters like he did. It’s what they want.
Have them escorted out of the WH and be done with it.
