Trump Admin told Jim Acosta to not ask questions....

When it is a formal signing, I would think proper protocol would call for not. Otherwise every Bill signing could erupt in a free for all, particularly with a contentious issue. Some civility needs to remain in society.

I agree with this. I am torn, however, because I can see this becoming a pattern in the future, where actions of our public servants have the effect of limiting freedom of press/speech.
 
Acosta has to play victim again. “Mean ‘ole Trump is oppressing me!”
When in reality it just wasn’t a press conference Q&A.
Yes, Acosta was acting like a dick, like he always does. i was trying to think about this from a freedom of speech/press perspective. The assholes are the people who cause us to consider limitations. That's where I am concerned.

How is anyone limiting his freedom of speech by not having a press conference?

If I tell him I am not going to answer any of his questions, that’s violating his free speech?

Yeah, but I want to protect the freedom, even when he is a dick...ESPECIALLY when he is a dick.

I am not sure how what to think about this.

On the one hand, shut the fuck up, dick. Ask questions at the appropriate time.

On the other hand, you're a public servant, motherfucker. Answer the goddamn question!!! You owe us answers. You work for us.

By the way, I have no idea what gotcha question Acosta was trying to throw out there.

No, it is not. I am more concerned about how this will play in the future. Never give an authoritarian precedent to abuse power, because that's exactly what he/she will do x10. That's my concern.

Yeah, but think Ms. Never-Hold-A-Fucking-Press-Conference Hillary. What would a bitch like her do? That's where I am concerned.

The President is under no obligation to give a press conference. They never have been.

And Jim Acosta’s commie ass is making sure it never happens again inthe future.
L That’s what my intial thought was, but I am not arrogant enought to think I immediately have all the answers or that I come down on the right side of an issue. This was buggin’ me for some reason, but I think your response helped me get to the heart of it. I appreciate the response.

When you have as much to hide as the Russian whore does you avoid press conferences like the plague.

Thanks for sticking out like a sore thumb of being one of Trump’s uneducated 33%.

Let's compare sheep skins, you crybaby twat.

Acosta is a salty motherfucker who has a goose-stepping commie agenda, and you fucking know it.

And, don't assume you know my political preferences. I am neither conservative nor "liberal". Take your assumptions and shove them up your less-educated ass!!!
 
I don't think Trump is obligated to engage with the press at all.

Is it pretty cowardly and shady not to? Sure. But Trump supporters don't give a shit.
