Trump Bans CNN Reporter For 'Inappropriate Questions'

Trump doesn’t like questions about him constantly being a giant pile of sh*t. Cenk Uygur, host of The Young Turks, breaks it down.

"A CNN reporter has been excluded by the White House from a press event after asking Donald Trump about Vladimir Putin’s postponed visit and the Michael Cohen tapes.

The ban on White House reporter Kaitlan Collins sparked outcry from traditional rival Fox News and the White House Correspondents Association, which called the decision “wrong-headed, and weak”.

Collins was barred from a Rose Garden event free to all press after asking what she was told were “inappropriate” questions at an earlier gathering. Collins had asked about the audio recording – featuring Trump discussing paying former Playboy model Karen McDougal – during a picture-taking session in the Oval Office as Trump met Jean-Claude Juncker, the European commission president.”*

[revengeofbcraig]

So, they were asking questions where he couldn't lie?

[Asher]

I could think of plenty of "inappropriate" questions to ask Trump. Those weren't inappropriate.

[wgjung]

"Inappropriate Questions" to the most inappropriate president ever,

[alexdavinci]

Collins simply asked him if he knew the answer to 2+3.

By the way, I do like the new promotional ad at the beginning. We should fire every Republican Congressman who won't stand up to Agent Orange.

"Mr. President, can you tell us what's surrounding the island of Puerto Rico?"

[sonjaleesloth]

Could you imagine a press conference this insane under Obama.

Focus Now! what a child he is, grade school honestly... :( sad, that our freedoms are being stomped on.

[rainmayhem]

He does the same thing to people at his rallies who boo him he has security or his fans remove them. Nothing new he can't handle the truth

[yayagarcia]

He also hated that she was a strong, independent woman!

[hudsle]

They also didnt want reporters talking to Donny about the tapes as he walked to Marine One (a long standing presidential tradition), cuz he might be asked about the tapes (or anything else really), so they used inclement weather (in this case fog) as an excuse to have him driven instead, even tho there wasnt a cloud in the sky. Brings a whole new meaning to "What color is the sky in your world?"

[CyrilSmithVA]

Man he's so guilty. He didnt like the truth

[laurettelaliberte]

Don't all of the main news networks take turns by sending in one reporter to represent all of the press at these, and they rotate every 5 days which news outlet does it? The representative for that day goes in with a list of questions they all want answered, right?

[AnDCaster]

The orange man was very upset check out his face lol..

[TyranntX]

So in other words he didn’t want to answer questions he knew would get people to hate him more.

[ContagiousRepublic]

Another reporter gets a badge of honor for doing her job.

[katrinal]

Banned from the white house, during the Trump presidency. Well, damn, that's highest of honors!

Correction: Trump Bans CNN Reporter for Self-Incriminating Questions

[mopmonmoonpie]

How did they get to the end of the press conference before these questions were asked by anyone? They should have been the first questions every press member asked after open questions started.
