The White House doesn't want us to believe what we're seeing, so they're showing us things that are unbelievable.
On Wednesday, President Trump was in a foul mood and decided to hold an impromptu news conference that lasted nearly 90 minutes. A lot of weird things happened, and Trump was clearly feeling defensive about losing the House to Democrats on election day.
Around 35-minutes into the meltdown, Trump got into a heated exchange with CNN's Jim Acosta. A White House intern tried to step in and take the mic from Acosta, but when he held onto it, she backed away. Trump shouted him down. The whole thing seemed to be over until later that afternoon when White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced that Acosta's press credentials had been revoked because he placed "his hands on a young woman just trying to do her job." After taking criticism for the gross mischaracterization of events, Sanders proceeded to tweet a video of the event as evidence of Acosta's "inappropriate behavior." The video, however, was manipulated.
