On Monday, President Trump met with Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte and had a press conference:
At joint press conference with Italian PM Conte, @POTUS calls him, "my new friend," and hails his "bold leadership" for standing up against illegal immigration in his country. Says they agree that "strong nations must have strong borders." pic.twitter.com/lDUMhvEuIx

Later, inside the White House, Trump and Giuseppe made comments, but after that, reporters, as they often do, shouted questions. CNN’s Jim Acosta was his usual self, yelling questions until he was basically told to STFU and GTFO. Watch:

Acosta, who isn’t a newcomer to getting shushed at Trump events, didn’t take the latest shushing lightly:
This audio is a pretty good example of how the WH aides also known as press wranglers are almost screaming as reporters try to ask questions of Trump in our “pool sprays.” https://t.co/rngjFTf93b

Acosta’s in for a long next couple years (at least) of being shushed.
this is the only way CNN gets any attention

Some of the MSM might still be triggered because a Daily Caller reporter got in a question on Monday instead of them.
