Peter,
I've heard Sarah Sanders cover for Trump over and over again and she never
tells the truth. She distorts facts or omits facts or plain makes things up,
just as Trump does. There is absolutely no reason to give her or him the
benefit of the doubt in this situation. If you hear the video, it's clear
what happened. Now in case you think that I oppose everything that Trump
says on principle, I don't. I agree that a peaceful arrangement with North
Korea should be worked out. I also agreed when Trump said that he did not
want to treat Russia as an enemy. That doesn't mean that I trust that he is
clear on these positions or is dependable, but I did not, like most people
who oppose him, oppose those positions because he stated them. But I've
never heard an honest word come out of Sarah Sanders' mouth.

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, 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.

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 ones who
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
