I'm not a Trump supporter and don't know a lot about the protocol here, but I've watched the video. Acosta and the President go back and forth several times with the journalist trying to ask (another?) question and Trump saying that's enough. Presumably it's not the journalist's microphone. Is it really wrong or surprising in itself that an uncooperative participant in a shared conversation would have the community microphone taken away? I'd be glad to hear why taking the microphone in this context is truly unusual.
The ban is pretty BS, although I find the journalist's "karate chop" in the undoctored video a tad more aggressive than supporters ever describe it. To his credit he does also say "pardon me."
