That's the kind of horrible, disgusting, vile person Trump is. The video on You-Tube has been altered by the White House to make it look worse than it was. The reporter was just doing his job but Trump is not able to answer hard questions. See Trump walk away from the podium like the coward he is when he was asked a question.

The irony of trying to accuse other people of a lack of originality or independent thought by endlessly parroting something they heard about on reddit/4chan appears to have completely escaped them.

You know, maybe it's not just the Trumpers who can't see the irony? Trumpers think that everyone who criticizes the God Emperor is a mindless NPC? Fair enough, is pretty blinkered and stupid. Folks should address the points and try to see nuance. Hang on though... what's that? You read on the internet that "Trumpers" are mindlessly parroting things they read on the internet?Hahaha those Trumpers are mindlessly calling us NPCs and parroting things they read online. I should know... I read it online! Brilliant.I'd love to hear the explanation for this.

The amount of mental gymnastics they pulled to deny simply reporting facts that night was quite astounding. There are several YouTube accounts which have the full eight hours of CNN's coverage up, and it's astounding just how transparent the whole team's preference for one candidate, and belief that there's a "right" and "wrong" result in an election, becomes as the program progresses.
dont bother wrote: » yeah yeah, that's all true - but only to America because that's where this took place, and that's where Trump is relevant. so your point is moot. this is boards.IE in IRELAND have you forgotten? why does everyone trot out the "most powerful man in the world" ****e when defending their hatred of the US president? it still doesnt affect us in Ireland, no matter what way you try to warp it.

Liberal reporter does it and they all scream 'doctored footage'. Yawn. Course when Obama found someone's behavior objectionable (trans women shouting out that he should stop deporting LBGQ immigrants) everyone started chanting 'Obama, Obama, Obama'. Hypocrites.

He should have been disciplined earlier, he was warned multiple times and his stunt yesterday was the straw that broke the camel back. The fact they used his confrontation with the girl to do it is meaningless. That's how things operate in any work place, you get a warning and if the behavior repeats you get suspended. Acosta was previous told by sanders during a bill signing they'd be no open press questions but they're allowed to view it. What did little Jimmy do? He started shouting questions at Trump during the signing, he was the only one. Let me ask you a question for a change, why is Acosta THE ONLY ONE out of probably 100 journalists with access who gets into these type of scenarios? Is it because he's seeking some sort of shining beacon of truth or is it because he's behaving like an activist and trying to draw as much attention to himself as possible. When you figure it out let me know.
