Acosta is such an embarrassment to our country as a faux journalist, but he'd be great starring in one of those "Child's mind in an adult's body" kid-flicks.
He won't be able to control himself and he's as good as gone.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also implemented a series of rules that will govern White House press conferences going forward.
According to Sanders, the new rules are:
- A journalist called upon to ask a question will ask a single question and then will yield the floor to other journalists.
- At the discretion of the President or other White House official taking questions, a follow-up question or questions may be permitted; and where a follow up has been allowed and asked, the questioner will then yield the floor.
- Yielding the floor” includes, when applicable, physically surrendering the microphone to White House staff for use by the next questioner.
- Failure to abide by any of rules may result in suspension or revocation of the journalist’s hard pass.
“We are mindful that a more elaborate and comprehensive set of rules might need to be devised," Sanders said.

“The White House’s interaction with the press is, and generally should be, subject to a natural give-and-take. President Trump believes strongly in the First Amendment, and a free press and is the most accessible President in modern history. It would be a great loss for all if, instead of relying on the professionalism of White House journalists, we were compelled to devise a lengthy and detailed code of conduct for White House events,” Sanders said to conclude her statement.
