Trump responded to losing to CNN in court by threatening to leave if reporters aren’t nicer to him and members of his administration.

Trump said, “We are writing up rules and regulations to make a position. I they you were treated very unfairly, and both of you, unfairly, because you have somebody interrupting you, and if they don’t listen to rules and regulations, we will end up back in court, and we win. But more importantly, we’ll just leave. And then you won’t be very because we do get good ratings.”

The president was asked, “You talk about rules and regulations, what do you mean?”

Poor Donald. He's so mistreated when reporters don't bow down and kiss his feet.

Will Trump's next tantrum look anything like this, you think?

About time someone took strong action to restore decorum to these press sessions. Now maybe certain journalists will ask questions instead of pontificating, and listen to answers instead of trying to rebut them. Behavior such as Acosta's is indefensible and the new rules will force him to show some courtesy. I only hope the limited number of seats in the briefing room are allocated more equitably in future.

From what I reading of the court case against removing Acosta? The judge said they had to have rules for them to follow, and not because the articles excuse of how he can't kick them due to not liking the question. (Shrugs) When he did actually ask a question - which most of the time he didn't? It got answered. lol I would say that was a good spin on CNN's part.

For me personally? I don't understand WHY they bother calling on the man if they know - as they claim - if he is going to be ugly to them for the most part. There are TONS of other reporters in that room, and have many others to pick from. I would ignore him, and move on to the others.

Will these White House rules also apply to the President should he make further attempts to "bully" and "verbally abuse" members of the press!

How much confidence should the American public have in this President establishing his own rules of conduct, given that he has been widely rejected by the voters during the 218 Interims and that he is already on the record for denouncing the "fake" press as "enemies of the people?"

It’s really entertaining to watch the left do backflips over Trump.
Well...it would be hard for President Trump to do a back flip, what with those nasty bone spurs of his...:sorry:
