Trump on Acosta Returning to White House: ‘If He Misbehaves, We’ll Throw Him Out’

BY: Aryssa Damron November 16, 2018 3:40 pm

In an exclusive interview with "Fox News Sunday" that will air this weekend, President Donald Trump responded to the temporary reinstatement of CNN correspondent Jim Acosta's press pass and told Chris Wallace, "if he misbehaves, we'll throw him out."

When asked about the judge's ruling that the White House must reinstate Acosta's press pass, Trump said the White House is establishing rules of decorum, but if Acosta violates them, he'll be back out.

"Yeah, it’s fine. I mean, it’s not a big deal," Trump told Wallace. "What they said though is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct, etc., etc. We’re doing that. We're going to write them up right now. It’s not a big deal. And if he misbehaves, we’ll throw him out, or we’ll stop the news conference."

The White House revoked Acosta's press pass in response to his antics at a press conference last week, as the Free Beacon previously reported.

The courts have ruled that they and they alone will police the conduct of the press conferences. Should Trump do what you suggest, Acosta’s relief is only a court filing away.

Never call on him again.
CNN will eventually have to pull him if he never gets any air time.

They HATE that he can’t be bullied.

It’s what we love about him.

And just maybe it had something to do with Scott really swinging back at dems to get his senate seat.

toughness can trickle down.

The fag “judge” can make them let little Hymie into the clubhouse but he can’t make anybody let the dumbass ask any questions. If I was president, I’d make Acosta ask the question in Spanish and then I’d tell him that I don’t understand Spanish and go on to the next person.

Trump sounds like he is not going to appeal.

BIG mistake! This is just going to open the floodgates for Lilliputian judges to tie his hand, bogus ruling after bogus ruling.

Just turn out the fargin lights and let the judges run things.../unbelievable.

It’s over folks. I know Trump is trying to stay in office and avoid being impeached but this is ridiculous.

That horse is already out of the barn.

This is something that needed to be dealt with firmly, and I have to say I think Trump failed miserably on this one.

He should have just said “okay. He can come back in for the press briefings we’re no longer giving. Have fun sitting there looking at each other.” He didn’t. Instead, he let that self-important, misbehaving little leftist puke win, which is how it will be spun EVERYWHERE.

It also has empowered the leftist judges, who already think they can / should / do run the country better than the President. Next, they’ll be ruling he HAS to call on certain people and answer certain questions. Or they’ll just rule he should resign, and get it over with. If you give them an inch they’ll take fifteen miles - and he just handed over the inch.

I don't think the President will throw Acosta out for misbehaving and the reason why he won't is that the optics of doing so would be horrible. Unless, that is, because he used a tiny, frail female intern to do it just so Acosta would look abusive.

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.
