President Trump on Friday suggested he could pull press credentials from other reporters who don’t show him “respect.”
The comments come two days after the president suspended the press pass of CNN chief White House correspondent Jim Acosta after a contentious exchange during a news conference.
“I think Jim Acosta is a very unprofessional man,” Trump said.
Asked how long Acosta’s credentials will be suspended, the president replied: “As far as I’m concerned, I haven’t made that decision. But it could be others also”
Trump also went after April Ryan of American Urban Radio Networks as a “loser” who “doesn’t know what the hell she is doing.”
