TRUMP on White House's preliminary loss to CNN in court: "People have to behave... decorum. You can't take 3 questions and 4 questions, and stand up and not sit down... total freedom of the press is more important to me than anybody would believe, but you have to act w/respect."

to reporters he doesn't like. I doubt very much that a Fox reporter would have had their hard pass revoked just for refusing to give up the mic because they weren't finished with their question. Of course, a Fox reporter would have been allowed to keep pitching softballs and nobody would try to take their mic away. Which is the whole point, really.

Now, you were saying something about decorum and respect? Please proceed.

Also..."more than anybody would believe"...the grandiosity never ceases, or even slows down.

Sir, I don't think there's much of anything people wouldn't believe about you. Your chariot is approaching...to cede to your "threat" of leaving.

All question from the press will be addressed to Mr. Enemy Of The People President. Don’t forget the “Mr.”, decorum is important.

He didn't ask 3 or 4 questions. He asked the same question over and over because PINO wouldn't answer the damned question.

Simple solution to maintaining decorum: Don't be a prick and answer the fucking questions.
