To members of the media or Dem Party (but I repeat myself) still lamely defending "Showboat Jim" read Michael Goodwin's column for a more mature perspective.

This conduct is getting old. When the President tells you to sit down, you do it. I don't care about the perceptions people have of our current President. It's irrelevant. Acosta is getting tiresome and his antics are not productive or informative. His job is not to challenge a perceived bully but to ask unbiased and relevant questions. It's bad enough when journalists ask the same question multiple times and in different ways. This is a whole new level.
Before people chime in to say Trump is being a bully and isn't answering the questions you want him to answer, there's no excuse for them to act in the way they accuse Trump of. I'm no fan of Trump's style and I never was, but there are certain members of the Press Corps demonstrating a huge example of disrespect and bias. Acosta is doing no one in the Press Corps any favors.

Maj Kevin "Mac" McLaughlin - How is the media supposed to show any respect for a POTUS that says they (the media) is the enemy of the people?

SCPO Morris Ramsey - I was going to post more, but I know you would just claim all the reports are "liberal bias" and ignore them.
But here are just a few lies from his recent rallies:
120 times he had falsely said he passed the biggest tax cut in history, 80 times he has asserted that the US economy today is the best in history, and 74 times he has falsely said his border wall is already being built.
There are many, many more. I realize all politicians twist the truth, spin, exaggerate, but few actually blatantly lie like he does.

If the Press wants to challenge him, do so in the reporting. There is no need to continue the incredibly disrespectful behavior in the Press Room. Their job is to report facts. If the President is saying things they believe to be untrue, then they have the press room to request clarification, something to substantiate the claim, or ask a follow up. But this is NOT what Acosta does and when the President has stated this is all he wants to say to that individual, he needs to sit down and work with what he's got.
