Maybe Trump should just spend the whole time on Acosta until the other reporters take him out.

There should be one question per reporter. The president or spokesperson answers as they see fit and it’s time for the next reporter. No debating, arguing or giving opinions. Any violation immediately ends the session.

One America News filed amicus curiae on behalf of the Administration. They claimed that Acosta's constant interruptions and failures to yield denied them equal access.

File assault charges against Acosta for pushing the intern.

Judge also ruled that this has done "irreparable damage" to Acosta. WTF?

I am sure he was traumatized. Guys with his ego are not bothered by this stuff. Just gives them a bigger ego.

How about put the press in a separate room on a screen and when "Jimbo the Asshole" stars his shit cut away to a crying baby!

I don't think it does. He hasn't denied CNN access, only the accoster of young interns. Have the young woman press assault charges against Jim Accoster. Arrest him at the gate if he shows up.

Otherwise, appeal the crooked judge's decision. Hold the pass.

^^^This. Send both CNN/Acosta and this moronic nitwit judge a message.

Somewhere, some tech guy can figure out how to put a silence button on the podium for POTUS to use that will kill the mic.

And I’d cancel the press briefing.
Wanna talk to the POTUS make an appointment.

How about banning him for things he actually did, like not following rules in the pressroom?

But???

The year was 2008. The candidate had a big lead in the polls going into election day. And in a preview of how petulant he would be act as Commander-in-Chief as it pertains to his treatment of the press, Barack Obama decided he didn’t like what three newspapers were writing about him, so he kicked its reporters off his campaign plane.

or...

Today the White House stepped up its attack on Fox News, announcing that the network would no longer be able to conduct interviews with officials as a member of the Press Pool. The Pool is a five-member group consisting of ABC, CBS, CNN, Fox News and NBC organized by the White House Correspondents Association. Its membership is not subject to oversight by the government.

Before an interview with "Pay Czar" Kenneth Feinberg, the administration announced that Fox News would be banned from the press pool. This marks the first time in history that an administration had attempted to ban an entire network from the press pool.

President Donald Trump responded on Friday to CNN White House Press correspondent Jim Acosta getting his press pass back, albeit temporarily, and warned reporters how things will go from here on out.

According to CBS News White House correspondent Mark Knoller, Trump told reporters in the Oval Office that he wants “total freedom of the press,” and that it’s “more important to me than anybody would believe.”

Knoller says, however, that the President added that reporters have to act with respect, and if they fail to do so, Trump will walk out of press events. He added that he told his aides to do the same.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

this is a good way to handle it. Make the rest of the press corps deal w Acosta. If he acts rudely, end the press conference.

since when does a judge get to decide who gets access to the WH?

overstepping his area of responsibility just a bit?

Well hell, if the court orders the WH to issue Acosta a press pass, then shit, give one to Infowars and Alex Jones. Seat Jones right next to Acosta and CNN. And then proceed to take questions from Jones, not Jimmy boy.

I believe the WH is being sued for violating Acosta's rights under the 1st and 5th Amendments of the Constitution and this judge ruled temporarily that Acosta was not given due process under the 5th Amendment. He hasn't ruled on the 1st Amendment.

Ok, he can be there, doesn’t mean Trump has to call on him. I think obama did that to Fox 36 times, where he didn’t let them ask a question.

President Donald Trump‘s big interview with Chris Wallace, in which POTUS reacted to a Federal judge’s ruling against the White House on Jim Acosta‘s press credential.

Trump told Wallace it’s “not a big deal,” saying, “What they said, though, is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct… we’re doing that, we’re going to write them up right now. It’s not a big deal. And if he misbehaves, we’ll throw him out or we’ll stop the news conference.”

Wallace asked him exactly what the rules are going to be.

Trump just said there are “rules of decorum” and reporters can’t keep asking questions.

After knocking Acosta for shouting out, the President said, “Nobody believes in the First Amendment more than I do. And if I think somebody is acting out of sorts, I will leave. I’ll say, ‘Thank you very much, everybody. I appreciate you coming.’ And I’ll leave. And those reporters will not be too friendly to whoever it is that’s acting up.”

the problem is that the entire press pool has sided with Acosta and no one seems to think that what he did was rude, arrogant or disruptive or disrespectful

if I were Trump, I'd call a halt to the briefings and issue a one page summary every day

if they want to ask a question, they can write it down and mail it in

put little Jimmy's chair in the back corner (facing the corner), make him wear a conical chapeau, and never ever call on him again.

Have him write "CNN is Fake News" 1,000 times on the blackboard.
