"He aggressively took over a presidential press conference. "
Interesting perspective. All I see in that clip is a guy asking valid questions that Bozo couldn't or wouldn't answer and then Bozo behaving like a pathetic little child.

I saw someone who couldn't understand that his turn was over and who refused to give the next in line a chance. He has done it before too. He behaved like he was the most important person there...pig straight out of Animal Farm.

Why should his turn have been over if Bozo didn't answer his questions? If Bozo had said "no comment" or "I refuse to answer that" then yes, his turn would have been over.
Oh and also note after Bozo asks the next reporter a question, while he's asking the question, Bozo very rudely turns back to Acosta, has another childish little pop at him and completely ignores the guy asking the next question. Disgraceful, rude and petulant.
Hard to believe that even Trumpanzees consider that to be acceptable behaviour by a president.
Oh and did you see Acosta "placing his hands" on the intern? If so, please tell me which minute of the clip that happened? Thanks.

"PS Rooi, did you not see his left hand touching her upper left arm/ inner elbow. or is it the plural that makes you scream faul?"
What?
I don't know why the "d" of the word "hand" is underlined and bolded, I don't know what plural you're talking about and I don't know what the word "faul" means.
Go ahead and have a little squeal about me being the grammar nazi, Draad. but I seriously don't know what the heck you're talking about.

Oh for Pete's sake!
Forget it, Draad. Go ahead and pretend he manhandled her or sexually assaulted her or whatever the heck it is you think he did.
You're becoming like your Masster Moffie in that you're becoming too pedantic and childish to waste any time on.

Classic ...the politically correct 'Accoster' as he is now hilariously being called, snatches the microphone away from a young girl.
Here are the rules for meetings. The person conducting the meeting recognizes individuals to speak from the floor. When the meeting chairman recognizes somebody else ....you sit down. In annual meetings people who don't obey those basic, century old rules of meetings, get turfed out.

All they have to do is enforce the same rules for questions followed by every company at their annual shareholders' meetings.....orderly, decent, fair.

They both acted like petulant children. The moment Acosta started talking Trump said "Here we go" very sarcastically, and then gestured at him dismissively to get on with it. Thereafter it was a cock contest between two nine year old's. So far all the posters are lapping it all up, blaming either Trump or Acosta, but are too blinded to notice they both acted like fools. If that was a South African clip from the Zuma era and he was being questioned about corruption by an ANN7 reporter, the whole thing would be dismissed as a joke, but for some reason, when it happens in the US, suddenly all objectivity goes out the window, and its either black or white. Very strange.

bluebok, I won't dispute for one second that Bozo behaved like a childish bully in the playground but what exactly was it that Acosta did that makes you say he acted like a fool?
From what I could see, he was just doing his job. What exactly did he say or do that was petulant or childish? Be specific now.

"I do not think Acosta should have behaved like he did. After all - he asked a question and Trump responded. Then followed an exchange of words - not becoming from a reporter when dealing with the President or Prime Minster of any country."
Absolute rubbish. What were the words Acosta used that were "unbecoming"?

What? Asking questions is "not etiquette"? In a press conference?
Now I've heard it all!

But isn't that Acosta's job? To ask the tough questions?
Sounds like you're suggesting he should have just given in to Bozo's rudeness and bluster and stopped asking the questions that Bozo was too gutless or too stupid to answer.
Still don't know what mudslinging Acosta did. Asking Bozo about the caravan "invasion" and Russian collusion is not mudslinging. Those are questions that a lot of people want to hear the answers to.
I don't think Acosta did a single thing wrong and the suggestion that this was a two-way exch ange of insults is nothing short of laughable.

It's Accoster's job to ask questions when he is 'recognized'.....he was no longer 'recognized', as even the kid knew, because she tried to take the microphone back to give to the reporter who was 'recognized'. And Accoster pulled it away......that was your unacceptable physical act in the meeting.
And after he did that Accoster was properly banned.
But above all this petty bs.....like it or not Trump is the president. The incumbent isn't always respected but the Office of the Presidency is. When Trump is standing up there, the questions need to be asked with same degree of respect always afforded to the President in formal settings.
The Republicans have to take off the gloves and not flinch from this animosity.... Antifa behaving like brown shirts threatening a Fox reporter's home at night, scaring his wife and kids.....it's all mob rule, and not acceptable to decent people.

Draad, I like people who talk straight, not people who deal in vague, cryptic innuendo all the time.
If you're prepared to say what you mean and mean what you say then I'll engage you in further political debate, Until then, I won't waste any further time with you.
