How many other reporters do you hear where Trump was being that way with on a consistent basis? Sure every now and then someone might ruffle his feathers, but those two have only one purpose at these pressers.
They both keep digging their own graves with their constant combative behavior. Time for them to go and become insignificant. That's the part that's killing both of them. They are both just as much as a narcissist as Trump is.
So at the press conference, Acosta hadn't even finished his question before Trump was interrupting an dismissing his question. While Acosta's previous behavior doesn't help him any, it is definitely two tangoing there.
This being the first time I ever watched one of Trump's pressers, though, I can say I understand the frustration Acosta and any other reporter may have. The inability of Trump to actually answer a question is more than I had thought previously. When that is combined with his constant double speak at the podium the job of the press pool has to be tremendously difficult.
