He's already arrested a mayor, a judge, and representatives, and wants to give Obama a military tribunal. He insults reporters all the time already. I've seen him tell a reporter his question was disgraceful.

I am not a particularly brave person, but I would not take the kind of crap he puts out from nobody.

It just makes me all the more ashamed of people, especially people of power, kissing his vile ass at every possible opportunity.

I too would not tolerate being spoken to like that. It sickens me to see people knuckling under to this no-talent, worthless piece of fecal matter stuffed into an ill-fitting suit. Did no one ever tell them how to handle a bully? Because that's all he is.

When will the REST of the press pool band together and support their colleagues? If one gets thrown out, they should all walk out. The fact that they didn't do that during the AP banishment told me that they are in it for themselves and their individual careers, not journalism.

That’s why he sits in the Oval for a good part of the day answering questions. No POTUS just sits in the Oval, they use it for big events and visits. Oh and he’s decorated it tacky as hell.

that finally rips Trump's fat ass, would immediately become the greatest hero in the United States.. That reporter would be invited on every network, every night and treated with respect and adoration.

That reporter would likely be offered his or her own show. Hell, history, would remember that reporters name forever.

They don't even have to get rude. When he calls one of them "disgusting", all they have to do is to respond with "as a voter in this waning Democracy, I find YOU disgusting, sir".

Asked Trump, when are you going to stop lying to the American people.

Trump responded: Who, what?

And the Reporter said, you, you have lied thousands of times to the American people, when are you going to stop lying.

Trump responded: Next question.

I thought, man if I was a journalist and got insulted by that idiot I'd add that to my resume, splash it all over my Linked In, and every other social media profile and wear it as a badge of honor. If you're not being insulted by him you're not doing your job. I just wish they would force a follow up or the others in the room then ask the same question until he either answers the question or storms off in a huff.
