The president yelled about spending $700B for the military and called for a border wall standing next to a 6' Easter Bunny. Very appropriate message for those little ones!pic.twitter.com/GlFvVpaVXZ

How do you believe that justifies someone shouting questions from the viewing area?
That's how questions are asked at the White House. Especially for a president that doesn't do press conferences
No it is not. You only seek to justify inappropriate behavior by the press because you dislike the sitting President. President Trump has had several press conferences. Almost every world leader visit has had a press conference attached.
Thanks "Brian". Tell @AlferovaYulyaE hello. I'll leave democracy to actual American citizens that know something about it. But from your little desk in St Petersburg, what I'm describing is democracy FYI
How is shouting questions at the President from the viewing area of an Easter event for kids "describing democracy"? Seems to me to more accurately describe partisan journalism. Your tweet indicates you can't support your position. Understandable that you fall back to Russia.
You said it was the shouting before. Not because of the kids. Which is it?
Shouting questions at inappropriate times/places is the issue. A recurring problem for @Acosta, which has led to justifiable discussion of barring him from WH events. The specifics of this inappropriate occasion were an Easter event for kids.
You do realize that this isn't how a free press works, right? And if you think that reporters didn't yell questions during previous administrations, you are mistaken. Previous POTUSes handled it with more grace. Of course, previous POTUSes also held press conferences. 1/
You say, "...would have never been allowed previously." Here's a hint: It's not for the POTUS or White House to "allow" anything when it comes to the press. You should read the First Amendment. You should also realize that the POTUS and his admin work for us. /end
I love how the liberals are so fond of the 1st Amendment now that they want to use it to yell questions at a kids event. They sure want to take my 2nd Amendment rights and suppress everyone else’s 1st rights when we say something they don’t like.
I think it's very interesting that you bring the 2A into a 1A discussion -- and just assume that I am anti-2A.
Presidents of the United States have press conferences, so reporters like Jim Acosta, whose job it is to ask questions of potus wouldn’t have to shout out. Stop whining.
When was the last time he had one?
Not sure..about a year ago. The 2 questions by hand picked journalists w/ dignitaries from other countries don’t count.
He talks to the press all the time.
No he has mini sessions all the time: On the way to helicopter In Air Force One With other dignitaries Prior to meetings After signing executive orders
Nope. Those aren’t press conferences. A couple questions on the way to a plane by the handpicked pool, and the 2 questions by the handpicked journalists when foreign dignitaries visit are not press conferences.
