Jim Acosta lost his White House press credentials. Get over it.

He was nothing but a hack anyway

That little bit of political theater was planned in advance of that press conference. Trump went out there looking to change the narrative from the election drubbing, and once again, he effectively pulled his Svengali routine with the media who stepped right into his trap. I would bet that intern was already coached to approach Acosta (or whomever he got combative with) to grab that mic ahead of time. He went out there spoiling for a fight and called on the reporters he knew would give him one. You have to give him credit for being a master of manipulation, because he plays the media like a fiddle at will. Low and behold, the lead story became Acosta and his press pass, which is exactly what Trump wanted to achieve with that farcical press conference.
