Folks would have slammed Obama for this and rightfully so. Not sure why they feel Trump is different.

Not sure I've seen too much "defending Trump". I did so he was right to call out Acosta for being an asshole and failing to return the mic voluntarily. 

In that instance he demonstated a propensity to ignore White House protocal to fulfill his selfish needs. My only stance is that he forced the physical contact, POTUS and his staff deemed him unworthy of the unfettered (or use whatever word besides unfettered for the lax restrictions granted with the hardpass) access that comes with the hard pass and removed it. Were the "right" in doing so? At least one Federal Judge thinks they were not; however, that doesn't change my stance that someone can sue for and obtain (or use whatever word besides unfettered for the additional/lax access granted with the hardpass) access. 

To me it matters not who the POTUS is.
