No question.
Trump's willingness to address base invectives and baseless innuendos with ignoble responses sets him apart from his predecessors, at least since Truman. But the key there is in the term "responses".
Trump is and has been the target of the most vicious press attacks since Adams ran against Jefferson. Unlike that example though, perverse attacks on Trump have continued unabated past the campaign. It is unprecedented.
He's been targeted by an attempted political coup. So yes, his responses are ugly. They are untraditional. They occasionally border on uncouth. But they are responses, and they are responses in kind.
They are responses to a press so hideous that it engages not just Trump with grotesque, disgusting derisions, but also his wife, his preadolescent son, and the rest of his family.
It is very telling that within such an environment, you'd chose to single out Trump as a "clown".

The situation is akin to having a “sword hanging over our heads,” said New York Times chief White House correspondent Peter Baker. “It leaves this idea that they are going to be the judge of who gets to cover them based on some probably arbitrary criteria that they will be the only ones to determine.”
So, it's exactly like hate speech laws in Canada and Europe and hate speech codes on US college campuses?
Interesting... I wonder if theres a take away here...

Do the rules say anything about the behavior of the president? He really showed his arse tbh.

Trump: "Because I consider it an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion."

It's sad that these bozos need to be told how to act at a press conference.

Reverend Mike Huckabee is who you are looking for if you want decorum. Something tells me you didn't vote for him in the primary.

Not really Jim Acosta is the worst and its amazing you are defending him
Posted on 11/17/18 at 10:14 am to bmy
I want to challenge you....
That's not journalism. Then he gave his opinion...as you know it's not an invasion. That's an opinion.
Journalism is dead.
Just look at CNN s own mission statement. It's full of outright lies.
Acosther is good for clicks I guess.

Okay I haven’t really been following this. Watched it live though...
What exactly was “doctored”? Can someone link a side by side of the original and the “doctored” video?

You've got your head screwed on backwards as usual.
President Trump's opposition couldn't engage in a conversation with him without insulting him first.
Like you, they called him a clown and worse from the instant Trump announced he was running for the presidency.

It's almost like President Trump played Acosta so he could use Acosta as an excuse to create new rules of decorum that all of the presstitutes in the FNM would have to follow in future PCs.

The president was combative from the beginning of his question
I mean being respectful and polite aren't requirements.. but if I acted like Trump did my mother would be embarassed
Just like most of the country is embarassed by how he treats people.
