    Perhaps a better policy would be to become nicer as the opponent becomes more aggressive? When Trump takes a stand like this he is granting his opponent a power they should not have. He just declared they are getting under his skin.

    I used to be faced with nasty union people all the time. The nastier they became the friendlier I got.

    DJT's mixed it up w CNN's Jim Acosta during pressers several times already; JA is continually obnoxious with trying to elbow his (((agenda loaded Q's))) into pressers in defiance of decorum. Whether DJT mocks him publicly like that, or just ignores JA like he doesn't exist; CNN should get the msg: pull (if not fire) JA from WH press pool, & replace with someone more effective & less obnoxious.

    The media/MIC have already gone beyond nasty. Sometimes you need to put someone in their place.

    If Trump never lets Jim Acosta get to ask a question, won't Acosta's value to the network be gone? Why should CNN pay to send him to any Trump address if he can't ask questions?
    This is the best way to destroy a piece of shit like Acosta.
    DON'T TAKE THE VACCINE!

    THE SHIT HAS HIT THE FAN!

    Since politicians all lie, why bother reporting on them...
    Boycott Israel now, avoid the rush.
