32 trump argues with cnn's acosta at heated news conference
Here's a summary of the event:
On July 11, 2018, President Donald Trump held a heated news conference at the White House, during which he clashed with CNN's Jim Acosta. The conference was called to address the administration's response to the migrant caravan and the separation of families at the US-Mexico border.
The tension began when Acosta asked Trump about the administration's policy on separating migrant families at the border. Trump responded by saying that the policy was "a very tough one" and that it was necessary to "keep America safe." Acosta pressed Trump on the issue, asking if he was "going to stop separating families" and if he was "going to reunite the families that have already been separated."
Trump became increasingly agitated, telling Acosta to "sit down" and saying that he was "not going to answer that question." Acosta refused to back down, and the two continued to argue. At one point, Trump told Acosta that he was "a terrible reporter" and that he was "not a good guy."
The exchange became increasingly heated, with Trump shouting over Acosta and Acosta shouting back. The other reporters in the room began to shout and argue with each other, and the conference descended into chaos.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and criticism, with many accusing Trump of bullying and intimidating Acosta. The White House Correspondents' Association also issued a statement condemning Trump's behavior, saying that it was "unacceptable" and "unprofessional."
In the aftermath of the incident, Acosta was banned from attending White House press briefings for several weeks. The ban was eventually lifted, but the incident highlighted the increasingly tense and confrontational relationship between the Trump administration and the press corps.
