President Trump and CNN White House correspondent Jim Acosta were involved in a heated exchange during which the president dismissed the reporter’s network as "fake news." Trump addressed the nation from the Oval Office on Wednesday night in an attempt to quell coronavirus fears in a move that Acosta criticized on television. Acosta asked Trump if he is taking the coronavirus seriously enough. "That is CNN. Fake News," the president responded. "Thank you very much."

Why does he take questions from Acosta!? I would make him an absolute NON person.
To: Steve1999
I think he is trying to find a balance. It’s hard in a crisis...but then..Presidentin’ be hard.
To: Steve1999

Acosta should not be permitted credentials to step on the grounds.
In fact given his public malintent I’d have a restraining order filed against the scab.

Spread the word, because no matter how many times you say it this never seems to get out.
CNN HAS NO BROADCAST LICENSE. You do NOT need an FCC license to be in business as a cable network.
Only your local over-the-air broadcast TV station falls under FCC jurisdiction. Which by the way they exercise very, very rarely.

Acosta asked Trump if he is taking the coronavirus seriously enough. "That is CNN. Fake News," the president responded. If they're going to allow Acosta to ask questions at all, in hindsight a one-word answer probably would've been better, "Yes". Next question.

Why is Acosta still in the White House? Hopefully, now that a new, loyal Chief of Staff is coming in, all these riff raff will be swept the heck out of the White House.
To: Steve1999
Keep taking him down every chance you have and once reelected pull his security to the White House.
