That's an Opinion, not fact. Fact is Trump answered a lot of questions from other reporters. Acosta's "questions" are thinly veiled accusations or not questions related to the Pressers. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. The only thing he's interested in, is trapping Trump and running with some half-ass baked story that's not entirely true, but Trump said "ALL Mexican's are Rapists" and then some of you on here continue to repeat the lie.

So my quick question for you is, how long should a reporter get to ask his question? You know the topic ahead of hand and have time to prepare your questions. Would you agree that 30-40 seconds should be enough time? if so whey why did Acosta have to hang on to the mic for just over 2 minutes?

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.

First time you saw his interactions with Acosta? and you're fast to judge. Acosta has been after Trump since day 1.
Did you watch the full 87 minutes or just the Acosta part? Trump answered over 60 questions and if you look it up, you won't find much about those other questions as all the focus is on Acosta-Trump.

Trump has to earn the people’s respect, seeing as he works for the American public

Yes, you don't have to like or respect your boss, but if your boss wants something done and defines the parameters for getting it done. What happens if you ignore those parameters and try to do it your own way? Do you remain employed for much longer or does your boss start looking for an excuse to fire you?

I don't think that's the answer you were looking for.
COMMON SENSE.



For everyone, be honest, don't look it up.
What was this WH Press Conference supposed to be about?
What was Jim Acosta's original "question" about? Did he have a follow-up Question? What was it if he did?
Are they related to what the Press Conference was about?
