1st what? Telling someone to behave or report remotely is not the same as Congress restricting free speech.

He was elected, bro. We want him there.
Unless he improves his demeanor, I think there's a better than not chance that he'll be out of Washington in 2 years. People don't want that demeanor and general stuff that he does on a daily basis. Let the Senators and Representatives have little hissy fits and all that, not the Spokesperson of the United States of America. Kansas kind of proved that with having Kelly win the Governor's Race with a fairly big margin. Kobach is a Trump puppet, and a state that has been historically red didn't like that. Trump and the Republicans in general are in trouble for 2020. Not saying the Democrats are better, but I think most people don't like the way the GOP are acting in this country as a party.

Their biggest initiative for the past 2 years with Healthcare repeal flopped big time, which is why I think the GOP struggled in this year's election.

Shouldn't Trump practice what he preaches?

it'll be baby boomers and rural and lower education/economic whites vs. youth, blacks, latinos, and women generally turned off by move-on-her-like-a-bitch-in-chief.

it's worth noting one of those groups as a whole is loosing members; the other is gaining.

Acosta is doing the job that a White House corespondent is supposed to do. Watch Fox & Friends for polite.

That's enough of that "she(Hillary) got more votes than he did" schtick. Should I bring up the fact that Abe received less than 50% of the votes? No offense Geez but I have to counter with an important fact.

Actually, only about 22% of eligible voters voted for Trump.

Cnn (Acosta)likes to ruffle Trump's feathers by asking stupid questions like,"Mr President why are you calling the migrant movement an invasion" or Mr. President are you concerned about more indictments from the Russian investigation". These are idiotic questions intended to goad Trump. I thought Trump handled it pretty well, probably better than most. I hope disrespectful Acosta is booted permanently.

Shameful it is that so many have their heads buried in the sand.

Are you serious? Stop bringing up shit like "We want him there" or the "mandate" from the public then to justify things.

No. He's not. He's a self-absorbed showboat and an exceptionally ineffective correspondent because of it.

I am curious. Why would the president (?) call a mass movement of scared and hungry refugees an invasion? Seems like a fair question to me.

I am not afraid of these people, and I honestly cannot understand how anyone could be.

Really? They are/were "stupid"/"Idiotic" questions?
Well let's see here, has President Trump not spoken about these topics and made them newsworthy to the point where if the media didn't ask him questions about what he has (and hasn't said) he would be mad that he didn't get the attention he craves for saying the things he says?
Trump has used both things to "goad" others so perhaps if he wasn't such a fucking jagoff people wouldn't address him with questions he doesn't care for - regarding what he has talked about.
Just a thought - but then again, I am not someone who likes Donald Trump so of course I'm an idiot and wrong to share my thoughts with those who do like him.
