President Trump left Washington on Friday en route to France to join other world leaders marking the 100th anniversary of the end of World War I.

Upon departing, President Trump took a few questions from the press blasting CNN’s White House correspondents Jim Acosta and April Ryan. (Video Below)

President Trump is absolutely fed up with the way the press has treated him and his administration and he’s standing up to them, letting it be known.

When asked about the revocation of Jim Acosta’s press pass, the President firmly stated that ‘Acosta’s a very unprofessional man adding that reporters have to treat the White House and the Presidency with respect.

He said, “I think Jim Acosta’s a very unprofessional man. He does that with everybody. He gets paid to do that. He gets paid to burst in. He’s a very unprofessional guy. Whether it was me or Ronald Reagan or anybody else, he would’ve done the same thing.”

President Trump continued, “I don’t think he’s a smart person, but he’s got a loud voice, and as far as I’m concerned, I haven’t made that decision. But it could be others, also. When you’re in the White House, this is a very sacred place to me. This is a very special place. You have to treat the White House with respect, you have to treat the presidency with respect.” (Video Below)

President Trump pointed out how Acosta treats the Press Secretary calling it a “disgrace,” adding, “and he does it for the reason.”

The President didn’t stop there as he blasted CNN’s April Ryan next, who additionally treats Sarah Sanders with disrespect.

“The same thing with April Ryan,” Trump said. “I watch her get up. I mean, you talk about somebody that’s a loser. She doesn’t know what the hell she’s doing. She gets publicity and then she gets a pay raise or a contract with, I think, CNN. But she’s very nasty. And she shouldn’t be. You’ve got to treat the White House and the office of the Presidency with respect.” (Video Below)

President President also responded to a reporter who asked on the claim that the Acosta clip was “doctored.”

Trump shot back declaring, “nobody manipulated it. Give me a break. See, that’s just dishonest reporting. All that it is is a close-up. That is just dishonest reporting!”

Further, Acosta is overseas in France on a free trip to cover the President after crying that the “first amendment is under attack.” Let that sink in.
