President Trump: We Are Now Writing Rules of Press Conference Decorum

After a judge ruled Nov 16 that the White House must restore the press pass of CNN senior White House correspondent Jim Acosta, President Donald Trump said of the court defeat, "[I]t’s not a big deal. What they said though is that we have to create rules and regulations for conduct etc. etc. We’re doing that, were going to write them up right now. It’s not a big deal and if he misbehaves we’ll throw him out or we’ll stop the news conference." When asked what the rules would be, President Trump said, "we're writing them now," but also gave some sense of what they would entail, which apparently includes on how long a reporter can keep asking questions. "We’ll have rules of decorum...you know you can’t keep asking questions. We had a lot of reporters in that room, many, many reporters in that room and they were unable to ask questions because this guy gets up and starts you know doing what he’s supposed to be doing for him and for CNN and you know just shouting out questions and making statements too.But I will say this: [L]ook, nobody believes in the First Amendment more than I do and if I think somebody is acting out of sorts I will leave I will say thank you very much everybody I appreciate you coming and I’ll leave. And those reporters will not be too friendly to whoever it is that’s acting up."
