“Why won’t you talk to the press?” We’re thinking the question, shouted across a field as the president was approaching Marine One to depart for Bedminster, N.J., wasn’t meant rhetorically, but it sort of answers itself, doesn’t it?
CNN’s Jim Acosta, who decided earlier in the week it was his role to turn a press briefing into a debate over whether the Emma Lazarus poem added to the Statue of Liberty was legally binding immigration policy, shared video of the president giving the standard wave as he approached his waiting helicopter.

I shout questions like this at all sorts of people that are 30 feet away from me and amazingly enough none of them come back to talk to me. https://t.co/nxWoYlu9rw

Unhinged codependent stalker @Acosta doesn't realize how loud Marine One actually is. https://t.co/Vkj7cTu4pN

Why would he shout an answer from a shouted question that nobody can hear? You're there to take pictures of his departure not for Q's/A's https://t.co/JK9nyMpjCv
