RUSH: Here it is, folks. My mistake. I pulled out of the press conference too soon. Within two minutes of my leaving the press conference in the last half hour, Jim Acosta at CNN stood up, and this is what happened.
THE PRESIDENT: They werent actors. They werent actors. No, its true. Do you think they were actors? They werent actors. They didnt come from Hollywood. These were people this was an actual you know, it happened a few days ago. And
Trump grows angry with press, calls Jim Acosta 'rude, terrible person'
ACOSTA: Theyre hundreds of miles away though. Theyre hundreds and hundreds of miles away. Thats not an invasion.
THE PRESIDENT: Honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN, and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.
ACOSTA: If I may ask one other question.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, thats enough.
ACOSTA: Mr. President, if I may ask one
THE PRESIDENT: You can go ahead.
ACOSTA: other question. Are you worried
THE PRESIDENT: Thats enough. Thats enough.
ACOSTA: Mr. President
THE PRESIDENT: Thats enough.
ACOSTA: ask one of the other folks
THE PRESIDENT: Thats enough.
ACOSTA: Pardon me, maam. Im Mr. President.
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, thats enough.
ACOSTA: Mr. President, I have one other question, if I may ask, on the Russia investigation. Are you concerned that you may have
THE PRESIDENT: Im not concerned about anything with the Russian investigation because its a hoax.
ACOSTA: With the indictments coming
THE PRESIDENT: Thats enough. Put down the mic.
ACOSTA: Mr. President, are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation? Mr. President
THE PRESIDENT: I tell you what. CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldnt be working for CNN. Go ahead.
ACOSTA: I think thats unfair.
THE PRESIDENT: Youre a very rude person. The way you treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible and the way you treat other people are horrible. You shouldnt treat people that way.
RUSH: Thats President Trump. That was about the last we that we didnt hit the 30% that began when he started the questioning about the caravan and its an invasion and Trump answered then they got into whether or not actors were being employed to participate in these caravans and so forth.

And this is there for everybody to see. Its nothing new. Its the way the press has been dealing with Trump.
BREAK TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: There was another set of fireworks after Jim Acosta behaved as the childish, rude person he is.
April Ryan of something called the American Urban Radio Networks decided to start asking questions when she had not been given the microphone, when she had not been called on. This is another radical leftist political hack thats working as a journalist. This is runs a little bit less than a minute and here it is.
REPORTER: If its unfair to the country and its costing millions of dollars, why dont you just
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Give him the mic, please. Ive answered the question. Go ahead and take the
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Well, Ill give you voters I will give you voter suppression. You just have to
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Sit down, please. Sit down. I didnt call you. I didnt call you. I didnt call you.
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Ill give you voter suppression. Take a look at the CNN polls, how inaccurate they were. Thats called voter suppression. Go ahead, please.
REPORTER: Thank you, Mr. President.
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Im not responding. Im responding
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me. Im not responding to you. Im talking to this gentleman. Will you please sit down?
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me.
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me. Would you please sit down? Please, go ahead.
REPORTER: Thank you, Mr. President. Now that the House of Representatives
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: Very hostile. Its such a hostile media. Its so sad. You ask me about
(April Ryan interrupting)
THE PRESIDENT: No. You rudely interrupted him. You rudely interrupted him.
Watch Now: President Donald Trump's full press conference after Midterm Elections results
RUSH: The point is, thats April Ryan, and she doesnt have the microphone. When its a journalists turn, they have an aide in there passing a microphone around so everybody can hear the question. She was not given the microphone. She just started shouting questions out, What do you mean voter suppression? And Trumps point about voter suppression is that negative polls for example, was it a Reuters poll? There was a Reuters poll yesterday that had both Gillum and Bill Nelson up by seven! On Election Day! Well, they end up both losing! But a poll has em up plus seven. Thats what Trump is calling voter suppression.
When CNN runs all of these crazy polls showing the Democrats running away with everything, thats voter suppression because it tends to make Republicans think theres no reason to vote! Its over, its hopeless! Cause people believe this garbage!
Fake news just helped to re-elect Trump in 2020.
They cant help themselves.
I watched the exchange and Trump should have asked security to please remove him from the room the 1st time he fought off the lady trying to retrieve the mike
PDJT shouldn’t do live press conferences at all.
Let the thugs submit questions in writing and get a written reply
I agree. President Trump should demand security guards drag the b*tches out immediately - by the feet. (That includes Acosta.)
When they all start yelling questions at the same time, it reminds me of the sound you would hear in an egg laying chicken coop with about a hundred hens all laying eggs at the same time.
It would not bother me much if he pulled out a pistol and shot some of these people .
I disagree. I think he handled it pretty well. And showing the true colors of the press, for all to see, is always good.
Donald J Trump is President of The United States of America
By definition what ever he does is Presidential
FWIW, He does more live news conferences than any other president because when he speaks clearly in his own words, presstitute filtering is not possible.
+1.
In the video, Acosta assaulted the woman who ws the authority over the mike.
When he shoved her, it was battery
Why do these clowns still have press passes?
Who was the young woman trying to grab Acosta’s mike? She’s a hero!
bookmark
He should still do live ones.
Just revoke the press passes of the fake news media and give them to media members who will respect the office.
There is a simple solution to the press conference disruption by reporters who want to spar with the President, refuse to stop talking, and fight with the young woman whose job it is to retrieve the microphone (like CNN accoster Jim Acosta today).
Problem: They had only one microphone to pass around to the reporters, and they did not have control of it.
Solution: Use two wireless microphones. When the President says “Next question” the sound man turns off the disruptor’s mic as someone* gives the second mic to the next reporter. Then the first mic can easily be retrieved from the disruptor.
*note... have two assistants controlling the two microphones, one for each.
This was a press conference for the ages. He is so sick of the fake news. And I do not blame him. I think I’m going to write him a letter thanking him for this press conference. It was unbelievable.
Yep - “I’m-a-gonna-accost you” Acosta did Trump a huge favor...
