In my opinion, you are ignoring, or purring little importance on the First Amendment issue of Free Press. Reporters have a right to ask questions and pressure politicians for answers to those questions. If politicians are allowed to simply evade answering questions they are denying a reporters right to ask the questions. A politician only has a right to refuse a question if he plainly states he or she refuses or chooses to evade answering the question. Attacking the reporter or taking away the mike is a form of depriving a reporter's right to free press.He did not feel his job was complete and that his questions were being answered. Trump did not have the knowledge, skill or temperament to diplomatically or professionally to end the questioning. Instead, he got caught being unable to answer those questions and denying a reporter's First Amendment right. An "assault" charge is just a deflection away from what should be rhe main story. Denial of First Amendment Free Press is the real story.You don't make rhe rules and neither does Donald Trump. Our founders did that in rhe First Amendment. The reporter was following his obligation and duty as specified in the First Amendment.What makes anyone think Acosta is supposed to be able to ask countless questions after the President is clearly ready to move on?
It was time for him to give up the microphone.
He should have given it up.
He was allowed to do his job and then it was time to let someone else do theirs.
Acosta’s opinion is irrelevant.
It was time for him to give up the microphone, whether he liked it or not.
The President clearly was done with him, so he should have given someone else the opportunity to ask questions.
The reporter was allowed to ask questions.
The President is not required to answer those questions.
Once it was clear the President was done with him, Acosta should have given someone else a chance.
