Pres. Trump to CNN’s Jim Acosta: ‘Out’
Adweek, Jan 16, 2018, AJ Katz



Jim Acosta was instructed to leave the Oval Office by Pres. Trump on what was his second day as CNN chief White House correspondent.

The veteran reporter along with other members of the press, were allowed inside the Oval Office during a meeting between Pres. Trump and Nursultan Nazarbayev the president of Kazakhstan.

When White House press aides started asking the press to leave, Acosta, whose contentious relationship with the Trump White House has been well-documented, tried to get in a few final questions.

“Did you say you want more people to come into the country from Norway, Mr. president?” Acosta asked.

“Thank you very much, everyone,” Trump responded.

Acosta asked the question again, to which Trump responded in a lower, softer voice, “I want people to come in from everywhere.” 

“Just Caucasian or White countries, sir? Or do you want people to come in from other parts of the world…people of color?,” Acosta asked.

The president pointed at Acosta and said: “Out.”

Good for Trump.  Acosta is a jerk.

[edpc]

Acosta - a surname of Spanish and Portuguese origin meaning to accost and bother.

[Frank Cannon]

Trump should pull his ticket to the WH.

Trump should pull his ticket to the WH.

I so agree.  Let CNN send someone else.

[Weird Tolkienish Figure]

Trump needs to start carrying a gun, lol.

I say screw that.  Punch his ticket.

President Trump kicked CNN star Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office Tuesday after the network’s senior White House correspondent badgered him with racially charged questions.

Acosta has made a habit of grandstanding and interrupting when Trump and his surrogates are available to the media. Tuesday was no exception, as Acosta yelled, “Mr. President,” three times before finally getting Trump’s attention.

“Did you say that you want more people to come in from Norway? Did you say that you wanted more people from Norway? Is that true Mr. President?” Acosta frantically shouted.

“I want them to come in from everywhere… everywhere. Thank you very much everybody,” Trump responded as Acosta continued to bark questions.

“Just Caucasian or white countries, sir? Or do you want people to come in from other parts of the world… people of color,” Acosta shouted.

Trump then pointed directly at Acosta and simply said, “Out!”

Good on the President for doing this.

[edpc]

As I attempted to ask questions in Roosevelt Room of Trump, WH press aides shouted in my face to drown out my questions. I have never encountered that before.


BS.  You can hear someone saying "that's enough" and "thank you" across the room to get him to stop, but nobody was screaming in his face.

A little clearer ...

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

The Press treats this President like a Heavy Bag in a Boxing Gym.

Can you imagine how far a true 'Extreme Right Wing' Press - (if there was any such thing and there ain't) - would get with a President Hillary for the same kind of reprehensible behavior?

They'd start turning up suddenly, mysteriously, dead for it.

Donald Trump Insults White House Press Corps. by Ordering Them ‘Out’

By Jim E | January 16, 2018 1:42PM

President Trump has been under a new storm of attacks ever since he allegedly referred to third world countries as “sh*tholes” during a private meeting with congressional Democrats and Republicans last week.

The outrage has reached a fever pitch, and some liberals are actually weeping over the comments. That’s right, weeping.

They let Acosta bait them into responding.  He is there to disrupt.  Just ignore him where possible, and make him leave if he persists.

It really is quite disturbing what the MSM is reporting these days.  There is such an apparent contrast now between FOX News and other new sources (though FOX News is far from perfect).  For example the report came out about Trump's health proclaiming that he is in excellent physical and mental health and even took a cognitive test where he scored 30 out of 30.  However, read Yahoo news and Trump is close to having a heart attack because he is overweight and has high cholesterol.  In my assessment it certainly seems (at least on the surface) that he is trying to preserve the rights of the 'citizen's of this country, but their focus is only how deportations are up (thank God) and what a racist he is. The MSM has reported how crippling his tax cuts will be to the middle class and they will only help the extremely rich and Piglosi who is a multi-millionaire  is claiming that the relief and bonuses being handed out because of the tax cut are merely bread crumbs - of course the MSM is happy to report her claims.  Then we have sh*thole gate; the MSM was more than happy to expound on Dicky Durbin's lies.

If they ever start reporting on what's actually happening in this country, such as the revelations and information that is forthcoming that the actual Russian collusion is with the Clinton's and Uranium One, the dossiers and her e-mails, rather than Trump, I don't think the liberal leftists would believe it as they have been lied to by the MSM for so long. Revealing that the the DOJ and FBI itself was working to get her elected, even though she FAILED bigly, would sent them into a tailspin.  Nope, the MSM will save face at all cost by reporting fake news and avoiding reporting what's really going on.  Trump has every right to insult the press as they've insulted the intelligence of the American people.

I say we give them more rope.   They have obviously lost all critical thinking ability.

Horse hockey.  Acosta is a bully.  He needs to be shut down.

President Donald Trump kicked CNN's chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta out of the Oval Office Tuesday after he kept asking questions about the president's remarks about Haiti and some African countries during an immigration meeting.

"To have the president point at you and say, 'You are out,' goes beyond what the president should be doing in the Oval Office," Acosta told Anderson Cooper on Tuesday night.

They all need new theme music

That's the music they used when Obama's extemporaneous Porky Pig stuttering remarks concluded.

[skeeter]

What a total farce the media has become.

[To-Whose-Benefit?]

Did they flog Bammy's teleprompter tech?

[Oceander]

Based on what’s presented here, Trump handled that well. 

[RetBobbyMI]

I say revoke Acosta’s White House press credentials due to his unprofessional manners and tell CNN they have one chance to replace him. If the new person persists with same antics, CNN will loose access.

[ConstitutionRose]

If I were the one being interviewed, I would not tolerate that behavior.  I'd give the press a clear set of the rules and anyone who failed to follow the rules would be suspended for a period of time, with escalating consequences for every event.
