    Talk about win/win
    I make the point about reading comprehension and you come back with a snark remark (fair enough) but the really funny part is your answer to the other poster about the counter argument is great.......except that's not the poster that I said didn't have a counter argument.
    Priceless

    Your ability to opine spacious means nothing to me. Trump did not answer the question he just skirted it like a Nancy boy. I remember when you conservative types had a backbone what happened to that?

    Acosta is an intelligent journalist who asks penetrating questions and Trump doesn't like penetrating questions. Neither did any other
    president, and they didn't act like an idiot over those questions. Trump's conduct is unacceptable but predictable.

    You can see how terrible rude Trump is. Acosta is making a question, and Trump is not letting him speak and interrupting him endlessly.
    And at 1.37, Acosta is making a question about the Russian investigation when Trump says its enough.
    So I am right.

    With no press card it would not be possible for Acosta to do his work as a reporter, and so the government interferes with distribution distribution of information for him.

    Indeed. And when the government of the US has a press conference, being their own choice, than they may not interfere with the distribution of that information when they are having a press conference.

    When Trumps "big idea's and concepts" are questioned, and he responds to removing those people.... yeah... that's what a small mind does that is unable to defend itself.

    I can see a fake reporter arguing with someone when that reporter was allowed to ask one question. The conversation wasn't about Russia. The additional question Acosta wanted to ask was about Russia but he already spent that check debating about the definition of "caravan". This isn't an interview. He already asked several questions. It's a press conference.

    You see what's not there. What really happened was Trump went full scale Nancy boy in the face of a question he didn't like.

    He was polite, that's why they faked the video of him. I saw and heard for myself. Just because a bunch of internet trolls try to spin it into something else doesn't mean squatt to me or any rational person.

    No, he got tired of arguing with Acosta when he stopped picking him for questions, as he went to answer a question from another reporter and Acosta refused to give the mic up because it's always about Acosta, Captain Attention Whore.

    He treated Acosta like the third grader that he is. I don't have a problem with that. Goodonem.

    If Trumps to big a pansy to answer questions from the left he shouldn't be there. What a puzzy he is.

    If you dared even suggest that John Kennedy have rules at his press conferences he'd have probably beat you up himself.

    The whole IDEA of a press conference is to have the pol confront some really tough questions and make some really clever answers. What has HAPPENED to our politicians? No wait, don't even TRY to answer that.

    In the old days Trump wouldn't have even gotten IN the first Primary. Billionaire or not he would have been a pure laughingstock by the first caucus. (And probably in jail a year or so later)

    Kennedy was more republican than most of the professing ones today.
