Now they’re shutting down the news media
Ugh. Now Trump’s people have banned Jim Acosta from the White House.
I’ve just been denied entrance to the WH. Secret Service just informed me I cannot enter the WH grounds for my 8pm hit

The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH. As I told the officer, I don’t blame him. I know he’s just doing his job. (Sorry this video is not rightside up) pic.twitter.com/juQeuj3B9R

How much longer before Trump’s head explodes? He really seems to be losing it bigly.
If the charge of him “placing his hands on a young woman” is based on the clip from the news conference, it’s another typically blatant lie. She was trying to take the microphone from him; he pulled it away from her, but never actually touched her.
And, honestly, since when did Trump have a problem with famous men putting their hands on women? Isn’t that what he said? They let you do it? I realize a journalist is not famous like, say, a movie star is famous, but famous is famous.
Maybe Trump hates it when other men put their hands on women that Trump wants to put his hands on. He feels left out or something.
I said this on another post, but I really feel sorry for that woman. She was aggressive, yes, but it must have been an impossible situation to be in.
Trump really is going full-on banana republic.
