This is supposedly the leader of the free world acting like a spoilt brat when things do not go his way. Why did he not try to remove the microphone, why did he not intervene instead of allowing a young intern to get involved, mind you there has to be something wrong with her to want to work anywhere near that lunatic though they do say that people can be turned on by power?
Because it was her job to take and give the microphone to others who wanted to ask questions.

Re: Resigned of Sacked.

I watched this speech for the full time it was LIVE on air.
Jim Acosta did not, in any way, touch this woman who was trying to take the mic from him. He put up his arm to stop her from reaching for the mic, and his hand was never in her direction, in fact, the opposite.
Jim Acosta deserves the utmost respect in his job, and neither Trump nor Sanders carry enough weight to dispute this fact. We are fortunate to have a man like Jim Acosta never giving in nor wavering in his fortitude to find and report the facts.

Those who watched the entire fiasco witnessed that Mr. Acosta was only the first of many to be belittled by this guy. He also took aim at another male reporter, then at two black women reporters who are also highly respected in their field of reporting.

Re: Resigned of Sacked.

There was a report in today's Telegraph which says the video footage was doctored. Several frames were frozen to make it appear that the contact between Acosta and the intern was longer than it t actually was,which makes it look as if he's restraining her.

Fair point I suppose.

A vid takes a picture at 25 frames a second.

3 frames were not shown on the doctored Vid you do the maths

They showed (On You Tube) the difference between the two vids and they showed it on a split screen on U tube

And both show he put a hand on her knocked her arm down and took the mike back towards him dragging her into his space and shows the look of horror on he face.

He is scum he has no respect for anything.

PS has been stated on the VIEW( Woopie and Co) that she assaulted him.

Edit just found link.

Re: Resigned of Sacked.

It's just Trump using a distraction again.
And the caravan of invaders seems to have disappeared now the election is over.
Why anybody believes anything this man says is a mystery to me.

This link shows the encounter with the women and the points of view by a moron on the right of the screen.

Re: Resigned of Sacked.

Notwithstanding the rights and wrongs of the incident, it's pretty obvious that Trump is incline to bully or do whatever is required to avoid answering searching questions from the media. I have to confess some of the actions Trump has taken since he became President needed taking but he is so confrontational that he's unlikely to encourage cooperation from the opposition. Not that I think he cares, his attitude of, my way or the highway, that so many people find offensive,
