I just saw Trump talking about this. He's devising a "code of conduct" set of rules and regulations for the press corp, as he says, at the request of the court. Perfect! Once it's in writing you can legally and rightfully nail their asses to the wall, so to speak. Because of jerks like Acosta, the informal policy of decorum that worked so well for so long is no longer viable. Fine. Now, Acosta's got NO wiggle room, no pushing the envelope. Now it can be, "sit, or leave, now", with real action that follows arrogant disobedience of agreed-upon rules of behavior. I'd like to see all receivers of press passes to have to sign off on the rules of behavior, as a sort of contract to which they can be held. Only good finally results from hashing out this nonsense to its logical conclusion! It's been a political style for a long time to ignore the small things that crop up inconveniently. Few realize how integral these small things are to the fabric of political reality. Maybe Trump doesn't even see it this way; maybe he just sees trash laying all over the place and wants to clean it up...
