If Trumps people were even remotely credible they would not offer as proof an altered video from Alex Jones Infowars as proof he did something wrong.

@Subsumedpat What? Are you quite sane? The tape of his acting that way is from the White House feed, dummy, not Alex Jones. You do share one thing in common with him, though ... you are both conspiracy nuts.

@Abrienda You need to read the news, Trumps Pres Secretary tweeted out the video, she did not use the white house feed as a source, the tweet was from an unknown location and looked to have been doctored. After expert examination the video was shown to indeed have been a doctored version of the feed and was eventually traced back to Info-wars website. Just think of that a minute, representative of the president of the united states tweeting a video off of a conspiracy website as proof of something, shows you just how wacko the white house has gotten. I find it quite scary that we have a nutjob running the show.

I have to point out that arguing with those that are only going to see things one way is futile. I do sincerely app I ate the fact 5hat you did not respond by answering that name calling. @Subsumedpat

@monte3 Even if the video was spot on accurate which it is not I would have a problem with the white house tweeting something from a conspiracy website rather than creating their own content from their own footage.

So what. Banning Acosta for being a douchebag is justified. @Subsumedpat

I agree.@Subsumedpat

@Subsumedpat You really are a moron....and made more so by repeating the lies the media fed you. You cannot think cannot research for yourself...just a wind-up doll and repeats what the winder tells you.

Listen see how you have been deceived. maybe then you will come out of your Trump Derangement Syndrome coma.

@Abrienda Of course you believe it because he said so. The video got tweaked either incidentally in the compression process or on purpose to make it look worse. Whether that compression was intentional or merely convenient isn’t clear. People are calling foul because of the White House’s decision to share material from a site whose founder has suggested the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting didn’t happen, I am concerned that purposefully doctored videos will become more widespread in the Trump administration if I let this one go.

You probably believe though that the wildfires in California are caused by state forest services mismanaging the forest since Trump said so. Higher temperatures, longer droughts and high winds could not have anything to do with it could it.

Surely you agree that banning Acosta simply for being a douchebag is extremely reasonable? @Subsumedpat
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@jackjjackson If all you had to do is be a douchebag to be banned from the White House how would Trump be able to work, they would not let him in the front door. I can hear him now, we will build a wall around the white house and make the democrats pay for it, and oh what a wall it will be, I can build great walls.

The subject is reporters. @Subsumedpat
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@jackjjackson If you are talking about reporters you should be talking about how Acosta asks a good question and Trump tried to get away from it and bans him less he have to answer any more difficult questions, well difficult for Trump anyway.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
Watch the video not what happened. @Subsumedpat
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
@jackjjackson I did and it was manipulated
monte3 · 70-79, M
The video was doctored and no big deal anyway. Trump can not tolerate anyone standing up to him.
jackjjackson · 61-69, M
The “undoctored” one. Both show Acosta trying to get more than his share of questions depriving other reporters and refusing to turn over the mic when politely asked. Not acceptable journalistic behavior. @monte3
