Don't you remember during the election, when he was accused of "bullying" one megyn kelly, fox news talking head?

Also had similar run-ins with Breitbart employees michelle fields and ben shapiro? 

Seems he's prepared to call out bullshit wherever it may be. 

Your old partisan paradigm is no more, get with the times.

That'll throw the cat amongst the pigeons!

Let us all watch the share price: how do we get a live feed of that?

Is that a Bondi cigar in Trump's mouth?

Has he been visited by denizen Gordon?

Let's face it - if anyone knows bullshit, it's Donald J Trump.

Trump let it be known that he will not tolerate rude reporters.
He should have kicked him out!

What we have in Trump is someone with rock solid strength of character. I predict that in a years time his popularity ratings will soar and that is a pretty obvious prediction.

Hey asshole, let me remind you of something

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.


What your suggesting is not only unconstitutional but an impeachable offense.


Grow the bugger up.

No. He/she didn't recommend anything that was unconstitutional, or impeachable.
You might like to revisit what you wrote and what you read, with a more open mind.  Then look at past Presidents...

October 2008

Then-candidate Obama complained he would be polling higher if Fox didn’t exist. This may work in soap operas and song lyrics, but that’s not exactly the best start to a working relationship with the press.

“I am convinced that if there were no Fox News, I might be two or three points higher in the polls,” Obama told liberal journalist Matt Bai of the New York Times Magazine. “[T]he way I’m portrayed 24/7 is as a freak! I am the latté-sipping, New York Times-reading, Volvo-driving, no-gun-owning, effete, politically correct, arrogant liberal. Who wants somebody like that?”
Obama Refuses to Answer Question of CBS Reporter After Signing 'Press Freedom Act'

On Monday, President Obama signed into law the "Press Freedom Act," but refused to answer a question from CBS White House correspondent Chip Reid at the conclusion of the signing ceremony. While Reid described the ironic incident on the CBSNews.com Political Hotsheet blog, neither Monday's Evening News nor Tuesday's Early Show mentioned the President's dodge.

On the CBS blog, Reid described the purpose of the law, which "expands the State Department's annual human rights reports to include a description of press freedoms in each country." He then noted how "It seemed a good opportunity to showcase press freedom in this country....So after he signed the bill, and as the press 'wranglers' began aggressively herding us out of the room, I asked if he still has confidence in BP. He ignored the question."
Reid also pointed out that Obama "has not held a prime-time White House news conference in many months, despite much pleading from pundits and members of the media." However, not much of that "pleading" has been featured on CBS broadcasts.

In describing the exchange with the President, Reid recalled: "I tried this: 'In the interest of press freedom, would you take a couple questions on BP?' That did elicit a smile, and he told me I was free to ask questions. Someone else shouted, 'Will you answer them?' He said he's not holding a press conference today as we were escorted out the door."

RealClearPolitics.com featured video of the exchange. Interestingly, WhiteHouse.gov also posted video of the signing ceremony on YouTube, but made sure to edit out the President's back and forth with Reid.

St. Louis Reporter Larry Conners revealed via Facebook yesterday that he has been "hammered" by the IRS since his much-discussed interview with President Obama. Conners, a veteran reporter, asked tough, but fair question during the interview which was slammed by progressives in media. Conners says:
Shortly after I did my April 2012 interview with President Obama, my wife, friends and some viewers suggested that I might need to watch out for the IRS. I don't accept "conspiracy theories", but I do know that almost immediately after the interview, the IRS started hammering me. At the time, I dismissed the "co-incidence", but now, I have concerns ... after revelations about the IRS targeting various groups and their members. Originally, the IRS apologized for red-flagging conservative groups and their members if they had "Tea Party" or "patriot" in their name. Today, there are allegations that the IRS focused on various groups and/or individuals questioning or criticizing government spending, taxes, debt or how the government is run ... any involved in limiting/expanding government, educating on the constitution and bill of rights, or social economic reform/movement. In that April 2012 interview, I questioned President Obama on several topics: the Buffet Rule, his public remarks about the Supreme Court before the ruling on the Affordable Care Act. I also asked why he wasn't doing more to help Sen. Claire McCaskill who at that time was expected to lose. The Obama interview caught fire and got wide-spread attention because I questioned his spending. I said some viewers expressed concern, saying they think he's "out of touch" because of his personal and family trips in the midst of our economic crisis. The President's face clearly showed his anger; afterwards, his staff which had been so polite ... suddenly went cold. That's to be expected, and I can deal with that just as I did with President George H. Bush's staff when he didn't like my questions. Journalistic integrity is of the utmost importance to me. My job is to ask the hard questions, because I believe viewers have a right to be well-informed. I cannot and will not promote anyone's agenda - political or otherwise - at the expense of the reporting the truth. What I don't like to even consider ... is that because of the Obama interview … the IRS put a target on me. Can I prove it? At this time, no. But it is a fact that since that April 2012 interview ... the IRS has been pressuring me.
Conners had asked questions such as:
“The economy is a big concern for folks, I mean the unemployment, trying to make ends meet, gas prices, food prices going up. Some of our viewers are complaining that they get frustrated and angered when they see the first family jetting around different vacations and so forth …”
Now that the IRS has admitted to persecuting tea party groups, now that the DOJ has seized phone records of AP reporters, has the admin targeted individual journalists as well? *UPDATE: I'll talk with Conners on my program today beginning noon central. **UPDATE #2:  Conners was scheduled to me on my program today but just informed my producer that corporate won't allow it. ***UPDATES #3: KMOV says to my producer that they will address this at 5 and 6pm tonight central and have set up a separate line for inquiries

Kicking a reporter out of a press conference is an impeachable offence now.

Cool man.  Glad to see you've got a firm grasp of reality.

& you believe that?


What if communism is a religion?

Good to see Trump still giving 'journalists' a hard time. If only politicians could start doing it here. Rudd, Abbott, Gillard and Turnbull were/are like scared rabbits when they spoke/speak to the media.

She was a good PM, and she handled the media well.

She was an almost reasonable PM and "handled" is the operative word. ;)
