I was reading up on the Screaming Cheeto™’s visit to Mexico when this little tidbit caught my eye on Politico:
One complication already threatens to cloud Trump's trip. Though Conway insisted Trump and Nieto would take questions from Mexican and American reporters, Trump's traveling press corps was left stranded in Arizona, a break from precedent in modern presidential campaigns.
"Trump is setting a distressing precedent today," tweeted the Associated Press' Jill Colvin, a member of the Trump press corps. Others noted that Trump did provide for press to accompany him on his last international trip: a visit to his golf course in Scotland.
What would be the rationale for not letting the American press show up with him, unless he is afraid of what will get said?
I would love to see the press make as big of a deal of this as they have all the fiction peddled by the Trump™ campaign that the media breathlessly reports on.
