President Trump on Friday threatened to revoke press credentials of more reporters and called April Ryan, White House correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks, a "loser," reports The Hill. Just two days prior, CNN chief correspondent Jim Acosta had his press pass suspended after having a tense exchange with the president at a press briefing.  Trump was asked how long Acosta's suspension will endure and replied, in part, "I think Jim Acosta is a very unprofessional man…As far as I'm concerned, I haven't made that decision. But it could be others also." He then commented, "When you're in the White House...you have to treat the White House with respect. You have to treat the presidency with respect," and noted that, in his view, Acosta does neither.  Trump continued: "The same thing with April Ryan…I mean, you talk about somebody that's a loser. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing."
