Daily Mail: 'Sit down, you're very rude, you're fake news!' President Trump's extraordinary confrontation with CNN reporter as his aide wrestles for the microphone and he takes credit for mid-terms 'victory'
* Democrats took control of the House of Representatives during the US mid-terms in a blow to Donald Trump
* Party vowed to frustrate his populist political agenda while launching investigations into his administration
* But Republicans are set to increase their majority in the Senate, providing the President with a partial victory
* Trump hailed a 'big win' for his party and those who backed his pro-business, anti-illegal immigration agenda
* He also threatened to go to war in the Capitol if Democrats try to launch investigations into his administration
Donald Trump hailed 'a historic day' for Republicans in the American mid-term elections and became embroiled in an extraordinary confrontation with a CNN reporter at his press conference today.
Democrats won back control of the House of Representatives, and are projected to win 238 seats to the Republicans 197 seats - with Republicans projected to retain control of the Senate and increase their majority to 54 seats.
At the press conference President Trump took credit for victory, then when taking questions from the media, got into a furious row with CNN reporter Jim Acosta who challenged his characterisation of migrants heading for the US border in a 'caravan' from Central America as 'an invasion.'

Update #1: Trump rails against ‘rude’ media in heated press conference (NYPost)
Update #2: Trump calls CNN reporter a ‘rude, terrible person’ during explosive press conference (CNBC)
WNU Editor: It is well known that CNN reporter Jim Acosta has never had any respect towards President Trump .... if not hatred. So no surprise when he tried to hijack today's news conference.

It's definitively a win for Trump. Republicans increase it's hold on the Senate, and the old establishment Republicans(Neocons, so-called moderates and so on) are being phased out for Trump's Populist supporters.
So while he lost the House he's cementing power within the party.
Ironically the loss of the House will turn out to be a blessing for the repubs. Better positioned for 3020 vs a weak majority of maybe 2 to 5 votes. The Dems will go completely overboard in their reflexive hatred for Trump. Investigations and “Resist” will rule the term.
Wins in FL and OH lay a strong groundwork for the 2020 re-election. We just have to tolerate 2 years of hysterical Democrat overreach. Then it will be a GOP landslide.
Its sad when mentally ill persons can post on the internet..
Oh you are all idiots if you feel Acosta is a real reporter. He is just a grandstander who increased his Twitter followship by leeching fame from the president. Like a little fame succubus.
CNN is the worst rated news network in the US by now. And now even fell below the kids network and food channel haha

For all the billions of messages of hate directed towards Trump that has aired in the media, social, in conversation, very little has changed.
then stop posting Hans

Acosta asked a reasonable question and Trump lost his cool. Could Trump have intelligently dealt with the question? No.
@Bob Huntley
Trump can barely answer questions intelligently enough as it is. But if he hadn't lost his cool, which he often does, he might've been able to answer that in a more intelligent manner.
That's the point.
Hmm, the comment I was posting about has been deleted. Americanadian, nice attitude, I'll remember that.
Hans,,Who bothers you, Catholic Dragoon or RussinSocal?
Neither one of them seemed out of line.
None of them. The post has been deleted. So I understand that my comment is a bit confusing and out of place.
Acosta did not ask a good question.
The Goths entered the Eastern Roman Empire as refugees.
Two years later they defeated the Eastern Roman Empire at Adrianople.
Now there are not as many armed men or warriors among these migrants, but there are a fair number of MS13 gang members.
The US would not suffer the defeats like the Eastern Roman Empire. However, if we have several of these invasions, poverty, public health and crime will get much worse.
... And eventually we will get No Go areas.
Acosta is an idot and so is anyone who says he asked a good question or framed it properly.
"In 376 AD, displaced by the invasions of the Huns, the Goths, led by Alavivus and Fritigern, asked to be allowed to settle in the Eastern Roman Empire."
"The Battle of Adrianople (9 August 378), sometimes known as the Battle of Hadrianopolis, was fought between an Eastern Roman army led by the Eastern Roman Emperor Valens and Gothic"

1st Refugees
Then they carved the place up
"Jim Acosta Wrestles Mic away from White House Staffer During Trump Press Conference"
Acosta beat up a woman.
By liberal standards that makes him a real man.
Hans
Said it. "Its sad when mentally ill persons can post on the internet." How ironic.
I've already explained that the post I was commenting on has been deleted, but you repeating it again just proves my point.
And oh, ho! Acosta's WH credential has just been revoked.
https://twitter.com/Acosta/status/1060334166083059712
The US Secret Service just asked for my credential to enter the WH. As I told the officer, I don’t blame him. I know he’s just doing his job.
Bob,
I watched the incident with Acosta and the woman.
He did indeed use his white male privilege and brute strength.

Changing your story doesn't work. You were wrong, purposely or not. Be a man, or whatever it is that you think you are and own up.
STOP!!! Here is the issue; just because a reporter can "ask" good questions does not mean he or she is smarter than the other. There comes a time where substance matters over theory. Acosta is an idiot and a grandstander.
Yup, asshole Acosta put 2 hands on the female staffer.
He could be charge with assault.
I can see where an asshat like Acosta would appeal to a divorced misogynist like Bob.
I did not change my story Bob.
He wrestled the mic away using his brute strength and white male privilege.

All of the problems America faces today can be traced directly back to a very poor immigration program developed by the Indians back in the 1500s.
Things are not going Trump's way and he has no adult emotional resources to fall back on, he defaults to archaic child behaviours. The vengeful 7 year old is in control of the government of the United States and some people think that is alright.
The indians had a very bad vetting system, just like the left and most of Europe these days.
The Indians immigration policy was war.
The Iroquois steady pushed Algonquins to their north ever northward until those Indians learn to grow corn and expanded their population.
The Apache are actually Canadians. They came to America 800 years ago. They stole land from the Navajo and Hopi tribes.
The Neutral tribe to the SW of Toronto was wiped out by other tribes. They used diplomacy to maintain their land, lives and independence. Then when the 1 resource they had that other Indians did not have was no longer needed; they were wiped out.
The Spanish conquest of New Mexico was with a few hundred Spaniards and over a 1,000 Aztec warriors.
So you are talking about those noble Indians?
Bob,
You have very little idea of what the history of Indians were before or after 1500. Anything you post is a leftist talking point.
You are not very bright. In point of fact you are a tard. What guy is in the financial industry (when not claiming to be a mechanic) and is so incompetent to not be able to save for retirement and invest well?.
LMAO
Anon
Did I say the Indians were noble? Learn reading comprehension.
Hans
On deleted posts. I found that if I posted a comment using my email process often it didn't get to the board. No problem though when I post directly on the board.
Bob,
You keep implying that they are.
You keep forgetting that many Europeans were friendly. Pocahontas married a white guy.
He wasn't cowardly and pasty like you, but a real man.
