The President is brilliant at reality TV...so of course he knows that this isn't an option.
I think the President is just issuing a statement here because a response is expected.
The President has massive legal support on this and all issues. I think we can rest assured that the President's legal eagles got to work on this issue immediately after Acosta was banned and they made an assessment of the probable response from the judge involved.
Whatever comes next is a chess move on the part of the President.
Remember, the President is that pig your mom told you not to wrestle with because he loves to wrestle and get dirty.
We can't know what comes next, but we can know that the President is having fun and will have that fun at Acosta's and CNN's expense.
I totally agree with everything you said. I do get so sick and tired of many on this thread who are so quick to demean Trump. WHEN are they ever going to learn that out president DOES NOT throw in the towel?
