    No, an adult would have kicked him out to send a clear message that wasting peoples time is not tolerated. It was a question to try to trap Trump in an answer that they could spin it to the "Trump is an evil racist" narrative. He answered the first race baiting question. Should the press be able to just stand there and repeat questions with different phrasing in the hopes that the President will misspeak and they will get their headline? That sounds like a waste of everyones time.

    Is this, by any chance, also your personal creed?

    Not once did i mention race. like i said in answering your post before. It was about Acosta getting under Trump's skin. However he did that, it worked.

    So the press should be working to get under someone's skin, not reporting factual information. Got it.

    Press do whatever needs to be done to get an answer to a tough question.

    Every time someone asks Trump a tough question, he kicks that person out. That's not very American.

    Whether the question is stupid, baiting, or whatever. Be an adult, dont answer, and move on.

    Yup, it's so easy to get under his skin. Just disagree with him and you go him.

    You and I have significantly different views of the role the press should play in reporting the news. You support trolling.

    What does Hillary and Obama has to do with anything?

    I love it how every time something goes on the the Trump, the Trumptards always bring up Hillary and or Obama. Please, move on from them...

    And I love your double standard. That is, by the way, why it is brought up. YOU want to give Trump a hard time for a$$hole reporters when your champions were provided questions in advance or served up softball questions.

    I do not think that kicking out one reporter that is being a dick really affects freedom of the press...
    The press is there to report the news, not generate controversy. If you think all that Acosta is doing was "asking questions" you have obviously missed what was going on there.

    Other than Acosta and Ramos, both of who I believe were being dicks, who has Trump kicked out? Thats 2 people. Not really the wholescale banning of the press that you are trying to spin this in to... Other Presidents have banned, limited access or kicked out people and set the precedent. Should Trump be held to a different standard?

    Kicking the guy out was being an adult. Just ignoring the guy would have been sorta a passive aggressive bitch move...

    Jase, have you stopped beating your wife yet?
    Hitler and Stalin, on the other hand, are current political figures.

    Be glad to when you stop asking ignorant questions and making stupid comments. Until then, get over it.

    We will just have to agree to disagree. I believe a person, especially the highest office in the land should take the high road if someone is being a dick, baiting, or whatever that person is doing. Maybe Trump could have said, "Acosta, I dont appreciate your line of questions". I believe that would have made Acosta really look bad. Again, just my opinion.
