Mr. Trump disrespected the reporter from CNN - and then threatened him with removal should he ask a question in spite of being told by Trump not to.
The entire press corps should have stood up and left.
That's a way to deal with a bully.

Negative reinforcement. They show up. Trump & Company display inappropriate behavior. Everybody quietly stands up and leaves. No fusses because that might provide unwanted positive reinforcement through satisfaction of trouble-making desires.

And anyone who has raised toddlers knows that is how to deal with a tantrum. Completely ignore them until it stops.
