Yeah... IF WE LIVED IN COMMUNIST CHINA!!!
Of course he'd love to ban all reporters, all those pesky varmints trying to hold his feet to the fire to come up with valid evidences for his bilge pump spews. Can't have any of that nonsense going on during the Trumpian Shitopia, after all.
Do it! He's not worth showing up for or a credible tag line or quote.
No, Trump doesn't have the authority the violate the US Constitution & get away with it. We will see about that.
Truth....
If he does that, then he HAS 2 FIRE PressSec SarahHuckabee and all her staff! I would be just fine with that!
This isn't about access to the White House, it's about equal access to the White House. If he doesn't want to talk to the press then don't hold press conferences.
He wants to turn this country into a republic where there's no freedom of speech, there's no democracy, no values, just hatred and violence instigated by a nut cracker like Trump. Getting his nose where he doesnt need to be. Loving dictators like the Korean guy and Putin 🙄
Wrong
It’s All or None. If you allow reporters than all must have access since it’s “The Peoples House” not his Hotel or Resort.
The WhiteHouse= The House of the People. Not of Presidents
You are so wrong to say that. Shame on you even as a Lawyer. No sitting President has the authority to exclude those legally required Journalists from the WH. They are lawfully expected there to cover the daily proceedings normally. WH is WH not Trump's personal House remember.
he would probably only prefer that FoxNews be present at future press conferences. At least until they piss him off too. 🤷🏽♂️
Of course, that is what every dictator wants
That would be erroneous.
Good. Bye bye attention. He will HATE that
Yes he does have the right to exclude all reporters from White House press conferences. So what? He doesn’t answer many questions directly or truthfully and he is horribly abusive. What if reporters stopped going
I think the reporters should quit reporting on this liar of a president enough of the fake reporting everything he says is a lie.
No he doesn't, I have a right to truthful reporting on the White House and all parts of the government.
No. The White House isn’t his house.
Crooked Donnie’s press conferences are a joke anyway. Just a forum for our pathetic Liar-in-Chief to do his DIT thing; deny the truth, ignore the truth or twist the truth.
Journalists should boycott this corrupt administration
Yeah, we have a name for this. It’s called a dictatorship.
No. He can’t. That’s just not true. He doesn’t have to hold press conferences led by the lying and the sniveling, but he can’t ban reporters from covering the WH. Uh-uh. EndTheConspiracyToDefraudAmericans OustTheChiefNationalSecurityRisk
So where was the Left when Obama sicced the FBI on James Risen of the NYTs, James Rosen of Fox and at least 20 reporters from the AP? Trump’s done NONE of that. He criticizes. Period. CNN still has WH access. At least 50 CNN reporters still have WH access.. Ignorance is bliss
Idiot
Obama spied on reporters you guys didn’t sue no one sued all you guys on both sides are nuts and we the people don’t believe squat you can’t tell us what to see we see a wave of people storm the stores on the border .
It is a privilege for reporters to enter the White House & if they do not behave properly, they shd be expelled!
Paddysgirl5 I didn't know we have a dictator
A ridiculous lawsuit from CNN. No law requires any president to hold press conferences with length/intervals determined by the press. Want press briefings, ask civil questions and don’t behave like Acosta or Don Lemon.
Mushmouth gobbly goup. Don't be distracted. Hitch up your pants because the shit will keep flowing.
That’s the kind of talk that begets torches and pitchforks.
He should do that so he gets no press - he’d be on his knees to cnn
They should all stay away. It would drive him crazy.
Again, the press have put their tails between their legs. It’s not what Trump wants. It’s “Freedom Of The Press”. That’s what dictators do, they shut the press down.
Let’s try it then
Hey, whatever Der Fuhrer orders, who are we peasants to argue against?
He needs to move out. Taxpayers own the WH.
And if we the people exclude trump for president in 2020,he better remember it is our choice and our vote!
His staff is just as stupid as he is
The WH is the ppls house. We pay the bills. Not Trump. It's not a palace or the Kremlin. It belongs to the country.
Fox News wants to have it both ways. You're either for the First Amendment or you're not. Fox isn't. Two-Faced Fox News: Both Supporting and Attacking CNN's Lawsuit Against Trump
Hurry Mueller.
Trump has used the Constitution as a Menu and Ignored The Rule of Law from day 1 of his Presidency - The White House is the People House , this is going to be a critical court ruling I was displeased with the Judges lax view of reporters being restricted from their jobs.
This lawyer and realDonaldTrump Ned to realize the White House is the people’s house not his!! FreeSpeech FreedomOfThePress WeThePeople
I guess I DON'T GET IT... Someone stands up in the Whitehouse Cess-Reporter-Pool and wants to TRASH TALK the President... and this &%%$% thinks he has a right to do so? Can I go to his place of work and TRASH TALK HIM? FREEDOM OF SPEECH... RIGHT?
Sorry, no... First Amendment 'Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press' Presidential powers are by consent of Congress so...
Does every reporter have the right to sue and get into the White House. Every newspaper reporter in the country Why does CNN have greater free speech rights than our home town newspaper? They of course don’t.
He doesn’t own the White House.
You elected a dictator --------- All that ballyhooing about America and it's grand democracy (Less Blacks, First Nations, women)
Coming from a union background, why don't all the reporter's stay away from any briefings until cnn is allowed back.
The Whitehouse is owned by the people. Csn we evict her?
Yes
Presidents can determine who is allowed on the White House grounds.
I wish reporters would stop covering him at all. He loves this crap. He needs to be the center of attention... all the time. If we stop allowing it to happen maybe he will act like a human... I doubt it but it’s worth a try..
You know it's a shame for Trump because even his favorite affiliate Fox is against him on this one
OMG ~ What Bliss ! Donald Trump in an empty room with No One paying attention to unfathomable Rants.
What good is Constitutionally free press if select Government officials ( POTUS) can deny them access, refuse them information? Imagine impact on sports if coaches and players had nothing to say. We wouldn’t know what’s going on. Idea is nonsense!
gutekunstlaw Clearly not a good lawyer argument - I am glad.
If the Justice department says 'the president doesn't have to uphold the first amendment', and the supreme court is corrupted enough to back that claim... What do they propose his job IS? What are they defining the presidency to be? Godking ruler?
No he doesn't
What do you expect from a two year old posing as the President.
He doesn't want to do that. Just act like decent human beings and great him and Sarah with the respect you would treat any other human.
No he can’t
The news media should boycott all White House briefings.
Why doesn’t Trump do that and exclude all reporters. Better yet, why won’t the press decide not to show up for press briefings until Acosta is reinstated back with the WH press.
A weak argument. The issue is explicit discrimination not the right of access.
It’s incredible how Trump always double down on things...amazing actually!!!
Oh, he owns our house now?
America would not stand for it, in fact, they'd storm the halls in protest until they find Trump and pull him out by the ears!!!
I smell coup d’etat
Nothing quite says Hitler like 'Ban the media that disagree with my white Nationalist vision!'
A lawyer for the administration. Who do they have? Why should we believe them.
Bullcrap!
Build the wall......around Trump!
If he did would he stop lying?
All reporters should stand in solidarity and boycott the WH!
And Trump can easily move press conferences across the street rather than inside the White House.
Then he should. Ban them all. Let’s enjoy the return to normal quotidian chaos.
Stop feeding the fire just extinguish it! Deprive it of oxygen in this case sensationalism.
Uh, no.
Can you imagine the uproar if Obama had banned a Fox News reporter?
CNN fake news
garbage talk but in a twisted logic way that is what he deserves..no press..no coverage....why listen to his lies anyway...
Trump can’t exist without “ratings” and the press.
He swore an oath to defend the constitution. cf. The First Amendment
Bullshit.
That's our house. Trump is a tenet.
I think the White House needs a new set of lawyers. Apparently they were 'C' students and forgot its called the people house for a reason. Trump does not own the White House and is simply a renter, the current tenant. We the people own the property.
I think media should boycott realDonaldTrump. Send in one person who draws the short straw with a camera. Get their statement on tape. No questions- the answers are lies anyway. Share the tape with the rest of the media. Take away his crowds. He feeds on it. starvethebeast
Media access? if they have access it's always a shitshow. So why not just report the facts and ignore his stupid ass. He never says anything of meaning and every time he opens his mouth the nation feels embarrassed. so cut him out of the picture. the media has all the marbles.
Well he sure could lil buddy, but you don't seem to know your client very well, he's a media whore & he won't bar them. Any media buzz around Trump is like oxygen for him, why don't you talk about something more interesting, like maybe a third nipple.
So then exclude ALL reporters, that would be fair if excluding ALL, he cannot selectively tweek, coerce and manipulate a one sided 'approved story' of only those with messaging HE LIKES!
Weird that their excuse for pulling the pass keeps changing--especially after SHS was caught deliberately disseminating an altered video of the incident with the staffer. It's almost as if they know they are full of sh!t, but taxpayers pay for their lawyers, so who cares, right?
wrong!
This is true. The media’s “freedom of the press” revolves around reporting and you can throw free speech in there if it makes you feel better. It doesn’t mean Trump has to invite them into the WH.
Are we playing that game again where if they say it, they think it becomes a a real thing?
The F he does!
This seems like a dumb defense- public employee's, people house, other reporters allowed../etc/ this took a minute and I sell tools
Guess this guy forgot those grounds belong to the citizenry of the USA and not realDonaldTrump
Sure... one step closer to Dictatorship!! Party over integrity and accountability. Journalists are supposed to ask tough questions of our leaders and they’ve been doing so for decades. Weaken that and restricting their freedom give the Orange Baby more unchecked power... 🙄
Actually the president can you tell anyone could leave the White House because he lives there basically it is his house he can tell anyone to leave that would be like someone coming into your house and you can tell them to leave
Nope. There is the first amendment
It’s NOT his house! Go to Mar-a-lago if he’s wants to only see paying customers.
I think it’s great I’ve been saying allpress should stop attending everything he does
Acosta thinks he is president...Jim you are not president....you are a rodent.
I'm having trouble finding 'White House Press Pass' in the First Amendment. Can someone help me?
Now that the White House and FoxNews have forgotten all about their 'Caravan of Diseased Criminals.' Perhaps Acosta 's question was right on the money? He asked Trump if the caravan scare was a political scam to influence an election, Trump proceeded to freakout.
Just because something is lawful, doesn’t mean it’s right. The fact that Trump is seeking legal grounds to execute his autocratic aspirations, discredit & remove the free press, the cornerstone of a free democracy, shows again he is for himself & his agenda only, not for America.
Maybe - but he can exclude selectively based on content
And that includes reporters from !
And maybe all reporters should abstain from the WH for a week, see what effect a media vacuum has on 45.
If the people want to exclude Trump from the White House, we have the authority to do that. It’s OUR house. He’s just borrowing it.
the president is there for the people, the people deserve to know what he's up to even if it's him sneaking to the fridge in the middle of the night to steal chocolate chip ice cream
The White House is ‘not’ his house ...
... 'Judge Kelly said there is some evidence that Acosta's conduct -- not his content -- led the White House to suspend his press pass. ' … sbg1 peterbakernyt nytimes
This must be the Trump constitution not the US Constitution 😨?
Trump may.The President does not.
wait but PressSec slandered Acosta and said it was because he touched a minion she sent to attack Jim. She even posted a doctored VIDEO to justify herself. What happened to THAT?
Is the lawyer American? Just checking...
The winning ticket....
True - and hold zero press conferences - or just allow pool reporter
