That guy for hitting that poor woman.. should go to jail for life.

[cntrailrider]

Pathetic. "Terrible & rude" are under statements. More like misbehaved & uncorrected children !

[detroitr]

Why is acosta there? He's declaring that the invasion is not an invasion. Not a reporter's job description

[RealBoglimChronicles]

Greatest president in our history. He is amazing. Sticking up for us Americans. God bless him

[anthonyw]

He's an activist not a journalist

[davidpar]

Trump was being WAY TOO kind in saying that

[sheliemartin]

Fire Jim Acosta !!! Fire HIM FIRE HIM FIRE HIM

[elisha]

The audience laughing at end shows that Trump is 100% right ! on those 2 bozos calling themselves journalists.

This is missing the Chop jab by Jim . It is clear in other videos as he karate chops downward with his left arm onto her elbow joint she maintains her grip on the microphone. For a limited duration she holds onto the microphone. As Jim drives her left arm downward with his chop, Jims right arm and hand holding the microphone is forced to drop nearly a foot because of his forceful chop and her holding onto the microphone. Her arm even bounces after the forceful chop. For him to say he never made contact with her to Anderson Cooper is a purely a false hood.

Did the pot just call the kettle black?

anyone who has seen even some of these press  conferences will see these cnn dumbass pundits acting stupid and RUDE... they ask stupid questions and is no where near REPORTING... example: a major briefing about trade and these cnn a holes start badgering about stormy or the fake Russia BS...  it's sickening..  boycott cnn!!!!

The editing is obvious. You can't make Jim Acosta look like he didn't do anything when The original video has gone viral, & it's obvious he man handled the aid in keeping the mic for himself.. And Snopes used this video. I used to have such respect for Snopes. Now it's fallen into the use of spin doctored fake news.

Jim needs an attitude adjustment. Slapping a woman's hand as she's doing her job. he's not a man, but a bully.

[paulthomas]

Acosta = typical liberal bitch. sits down fast when it gets heated. nothing new.

[crediblesea]

He pushed the girls hand in another He is terrible.

[safrebiz]

I really can't believe what's happening in our country anymore. There's so much animosity, why?

[Nyhetskanaler]

I am from SWeden and I support 100% Trump

[jons]

Now that's what I'd call "doctored footage"

[nrx]

GOD BLESS DONALD J. TRUMP. finally a President with a BACK BONE.

[johnnowakowski]

ABC cut out the karate chop out of the clip...
