I agree that President Trump was bullying; he's always bullying.
But one does need to see the video to determine the extent to
which this journalist placed his hands on a female intern.
That's the reason that Sarah Sanders gave for revoking his
credentials. Peter

Peter, I don't think you need audio description. There's an
audio of the
interchange between Trump and the reporter and it's obvious that
Trump was
furious at being asked a set of questions, rather insistently, by
the
reporter. I think I heard it on Democracy Now. But the whole
thing had to do
with questions which you can hear. You don't need sighted
assistance in this
particular instance.

from entering the White House after a heated exchange with Trump
The Trumpistas are arguing that the deviant journalist is being
expelled
because he put his hands on a female intern. The journalist's
possie is
claiming that the "putting hands"
statement is fake.
Obviously, video footage exists, but as a totally blind person, I
need
reasonably unbiased people (audio describers) to tell me what
actually
happened.
But I'm having trouble trusting any description based on the
obvious biases
of the describers.
Which means I'm tempted to revert to my own biases.
Which are not to trust anything coming out of the mouths of the
Trumpistast.
Best, Peter

I would conjecture that 'banning admittance' is better than being
jailed or
being accused of blasphemy. Nicht Wahr?

Well Mostafa, Donald Trump has his following. But so do Saints.
We
regular folks have the ability to decide which to follow. But
what we are
confronted with is not an American People problem. It is simply
a matter
of rude, aggressive, arrogance. This man, Donald Trump, was
elected to the
office of President of...not just of Donald Trump's interests,
but to
represent ***THE PEOPLE!!!
Frankly, he has bungled the job so badly that he should be
removed.
But then the door is open to his vice president, who is planning
to serve
his Christian God, and not All Americans.
We Americans have only ourselves to blame, however. We are the

opened the door and let the Night crawlers in.

Acosta has had his White House credentials revoked after
engaging in a
fiery exchange with Donald Trump during a press conference after
the
mid-term elections. Acosta asked Trump about immigration and the
latter
refused to answer Acosta's questions, repeatedly telling him to
sit down.
Acosta initially refused to relinquish the microphone to a
female intern
and the White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders later
tweeted
that Acosta had placed his hands on the young woman. White
House suspended
the press credentials of CNN reporter Jim Acosta on Wednesday,
hours after
President Trump took issue with questions Acosta asked at a news
conference. The move to punish Acosta by removing his access to
the White
House is believed to be unprecedented. The Trump administration
barred
another CNN reporter from attending an open media event in July
but until
now has not gone as far as removing a credential, known as a
"hard pass,"
which enables a journalist to enter the White House grounds.
Press
secretary Sarah Sanders cited Acosta's brief confrontation with
a White
House press aide during Trump's midday news conference as the
reason for
suspending his press pass "until further notice." During the
ninety-minute
session at the White House, Trump snapped at Acosta after the
reporter
asked whether the president had "demonised immigrants" by
calling a caravan
of Central American migrants "an invasion." After a lengthy and
tense
back-and-forth, a female White House intern tried to take the
microphone
from Acosta. Acosta held onto it and raised an arm to shield
it, in the
process making contact with the aide. "Pardon me, ma'am," he
told the
woman.
"You're a very
rude person. That's enough. Sit down.' Trump turns hostile at
the
reporter. After their exchange, Trump told Acosta: "CNN should
be ashamed
of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible
person.
You shouldn't be working for CNN. You're a very rude person.
The way you
treat Sarah Huckabee is horrible. And the way you treat other
people are
horrible. You shouldn't treat people that way."
On Wednesday night, Sanders accused Acosta of "placing his hands
on a
young woman" and said it was on those grounds that Acosta's press
pass was
being suspended. "President Trump believes in a free press and
expects and
welcomes tough questions of him and his Administration,"
Sanders said in a statement. "We will, however, never tolerate
a
reporter placing his hands on a young woman just trying to do her
job as a
White House intern. This conduct is absolutely unacceptable. It
is also
completely disrespectful to the reporter's colleagues not to
allow them an
opportunity to ask a question," Sanders added.
This
newsstory was really interesting. After Donald Trump fired his
attorney
general, he went with his viciously iniquitous acts, suppressing
and
purposefully defaming major rivals. To be quite plain with
everyone
reading this, I do not have any problem with Trump building the
southern
border wall or stopping people from coming illegally. I even do
not have
problem if he wanted to ban people such as Muslims and other
minorities
from entering the United States.
I
just have problem with Trump imperiously exercising derision,
bigotry and
abhorrent psychopathy. I do not tolerate waving military
belligerence
toward us in any manner. I do not tolerate this chippy fashion.
I confirm
what I decisively stated on multiple occasions. I do not
destine to
immigrate to the United States. I am not in favour of its
humiliating
system of improperly conducted search and unreasonable seizure.
I urge
American politicians to pursue deference with other nation's
sovereignty.
I have many strong ties with respectful individuals in the
United States.
My friends Sarah, Pia, pastor Jacob and Kile of Alaska are
exceedingly
courteous. I do not rant at anyone with my stridence. I rather
represent
a moderate disposal of Muslims. I just despise white
supremacists for
deliberately evoking racial disparity. They insistently sustain
hostility
with people of colour and accent. I despise forcefully imposing
economic
tariffs on China and other nations for essentially capitalistic
interests.
That is my problem with America folks.
I don't
have problem with your view of freedom, heritage or customs. I
have
problem with unconditionally backing Israel. I have problem with
unjustified pride. I have problem with enacting thuggish
temperament as of
oppressively imposing sanctions on Turkey. Well at this point, I
summoned
all my problems with the United States. I am not here to just
bait
Americans. If I were doing so, I would have just been so
arrogant and
idiot. Thank you, Mustafa, Cairo Egypt
