Dat kan iedereen natuurlijk goed bekjken door bv de manier waarop Trump de vraag van Acosta beantword te bekijken...
Ik geloof niet dat die andere journlasten gelijk persoonlijk aangevallen werden op het medium waarvan ze kwamen en verteld kregen dat ze eigenlijk ergens anders zouden moeten zijn, terwijl hun vraag genegeerd werd.
Waarom kan Trump dat wel bij anderen, maar draait hij helemaal door als een vraag door een CNN-medewerker gesteld wordt?
het waren overigens geen 35, maar eerder 3 of 4, voordat Acosta aan de beurt kwam...
hier een transcript, vanaf het moment dat Acosta aan de beurt kwam (er waren daarvoor door drie of vier andere vragen gesteld, onder meer of Trump Oprah mocht)
quote:
Q Well, since it’s Jim, I’ll let it go.
Q Okay. Thank you, Mr. President. I wanted to challenge you on one of the statements that you made in the tail end of the campaign in the midterms, that this —
THE PRESIDENT: Here we go.
Q Well, if you don’t mind, Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: Let’s go. Let’s go. Come on.
Q That this caravan was an “invasion.” As you know, Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: I consider it to be an invasion.
Q As you know, Mr. President, the caravan was not an invasion. It’s a group of migrants moving up from Central America towards the border with the U.S.
THE PRESIDENT: Thank you for telling me that. I appreciate it.
Q Why did you characterize it as such? And —
THE PRESIDENT: Because I consider it an invasion. You and I have a difference of opinion.
Q But do you think that you demonized immigrants in this election —
THE PRESIDENT: Not at all. No, not at all.
Q — to try to keep —
THE PRESIDENT: I want them — I want them to come into the country, but they have to come in legally. You know, they have to come in, Jim, through a process. I want it to be a process.
And I want people to come in. And we need the people.
Q Right. But your campaign had — your campaign —
THE PRESIDENT: Wait. Wait. Wait. You know why we need the people, don’t you? Because we have hundreds of companies moving in. We need the people.
Q Right. But your campaign had an ad showing migrants climbing over walls and so on.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, that’s true. They weren’t actors. They weren’t actors.
Q They’re not going to be doing that.
THE PRESIDENT: They weren’t actors. Well, no, it was true. Do you think they were actors? They weren’t actors. They didn’t come from Hollywood. These were — these were people — this was an actual — you know, it happened a few days ago. And —
Q They’re hundreds of miles of way though. They’re hundreds and hundreds of miles away.
THE PRESIDENT: You know what?
Q That’s not an invasion.
THE PRESIDENT: I think you should — honestly, I think you should let me run the country, you run CNN —
Q All right.
THE PRESIDENT: — and if you did it well, your ratings would be much better.
Q But let me ask, if I — if I may ask one other question —
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, that’s enough.
Q Mr. President, if I may — if I may ask one other question.
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, Peter, go ahead.
Q Are you worried —
THE PRESIDENT: That’s enough. That’s enough. That’s enough.
Q Mr. President, I didn’t — well, I was going to ask one other. The other folks that had —
THE PRESIDENT: That’s enough. That’s enough.
Q Pardon me, ma’am, I’m — Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: Excuse me, that’s enough.
Q Mr. President, I had one other question if —
THE PRESIDENT: Peter. Let’s go.
Q — I may ask on the Russia investigation. Are you concerned that you may have indictments —
THE PRESIDENT: I’m not concerned about anything with the Russia investigation because it’s a hoax.
Q — that you may indictments coming down? Are you —
THE PRESIDENT: That’s enough. Put down the mic.
Q Mr. President, are you worried about indictments coming down in this investigation?
Q Mr. President —
THE PRESIDENT: I’ll tell you what: CNN should be ashamed of itself having you working for them. You are a rude, terrible person. You shouldn’t be working for CNN.
Go ahead.
Q I think that’s unfair.
THE PRESIDENT: 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.
Go ahead. Go ahead, Peter. Go ahead.
Q In Jim’s defense, I’ve traveled with him and watched him. He’s a diligent reporter who busts his butt like the rest of us.
THE PRESIDENT: Well, I’m not a big fan of yours either. So, you know.
(Laughter.)
Q I understand.
THE PRESIDENT: To be honest with you.
Q So let me — so let me ask you a question if I can —
Q (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: You aren’t — you aren’t the best.
Q You repeatedly said — Mr. President, you repeatedly — over the course of the —
Q (Off-mic.) (Inaudible) called the enemy of the people —
THE PRESIDENT: Okay, just sit down, please.
Q (Off-mic.) (Inaudible) campaign (inaudible) and sent pipe bombs. That’s just (inaudible).
THE PRESIDENT: Well, when you report fake news —
Q (Off-mic.) (Inaudible.)
THE PRESIDENT: No. When you report fake news, which CNN does a lot, you are the enemy of the people.

Nergens is de journalist onbeschoft of onbeleefd, hij is juist extra voorzichtig, gaat niet in op de provocaties die Trump direkt plaatst als die hem interrumpeert nog voordat hij zn eerste vraag geheel kan stellen
