re: "I am Acosta." "No, I am Acosta"

This is a perfect example of someone being unclear on the concept.

Let's set the record straight.

Trump is the President-elect not Acosta.

It was Trump's press conference not Acosta's press conference.

Therefore, Trump is the one who gets to pick who asks him a question.

Acosta doesn't get to demand that Trump ask him a question.

Acosta was lucky Trump was nice enough not to throw his arse out of the press conference.
