The brutal reality: After 3 years of degradation, the American people didn't fully humiliate/punish him. They rewarded him with more senate seats. Within 24hrs, he'd threatened GOPers who won't embrace him, Dems who may investigate him, & reporters who ask tough Qs. Emboldened.

Yep, she grabbed him first.
-
Three times...and her head whipped around toward trump each time. Video of the entire incident shows the truth.
-
Exactly, how embarrassing is it that she had to try and get the mic 3 times. Completely out of line. The guy acts like it’s his mic. Definition of grandstanding.
-
The original tape shows the pres. continued to speak to Acosta, who responded. She had no right to grab him 3X while trump was engaged with him. The WH had no right to revoke his pass without due process. That's illegal. Or libel him w doctored evidence & lies. That's actionable.
-
He was saying "that's enough"... that's not really engaging in conversation. Acosta had already asked his 3 questions about the invasion and the campaign video. It's a press conference and not the Jim Acosta show.

Exactly Trump: Let me run the country and you run CNN Acosta: let me ask another question (4th question) Trump: ok that’s enough (points at other reporter) Acosta: mumbles Trump: that’s enough, that’s enough. All occurred prior to the young lady, attempting to take back the

Watch the original tape (not the doctored one) and view the entire exchange. You'll see that it happens while the intern grabs at Jim three times trying to take the mic. He's speaking into it as she lunges across him to get it. Trump called on him, Jim wasn't out of line.

Trump signaled there's more revocation to come. Removing credentials without due process is illegal. This is a redux of twitter blocking of opinions he didn't like. Took a court order to teach him his obligation re: 1st Amend. access. Reasoning won't work. Get into court asap.

Acosta just needs to keep his mouth shut, gets him in trouble when he opens it.
-
Unless Trump agrees to use sign language, it's impossible for Acosta to do his job without opening his mouth. Appreciate his style or not, we learn things from his reporting.
-
I have learned he asks questions in a manner where it benefits him and/or CNN.
-
We all benefited from learning, through Acosta reporting, that the alleged California sanctuary city "riots" did notion fact, exist. It took dogged questioning of a reluctant president, who eventually had no choice but to let that whopper go.

Did not know of any riots occurring anywhere, never heard this
-
There were no real riots. Trump made up the whole story and repeated it widely until confronted with lack of evidence.

Take some action! Do not allow Trump to get away with this crap! He’ll keep doing it as long as he can get away with it! He CANNOT impede Freedom of the Press!

I have to disagree. It’s always about Jim. He deserved what he got.
