I always thought it would be terribly funny if Trump was somehow delayed and late for a debate and called in via skype from his plane! (He has broadband access on his plane)

What a hoot! Talk about owning the place...lol

With the yuuge ratings Trump brings to any TV show they will all be glad to get his call.

Trump gets more TV time because he brings in $$$

Alternate Title: NBC so desperate they try to blackmail Trump to get him to appear on their show.

Didn’t Trump say that the media was/would be begging him to appear on their shows ?

We’ll see how long this holds up, when Trump is going on all the other shows, even calling in to some of them.

You don’t dictate to presidential candidates.

The other stations will IMMEDIATELY jump in and pull in the slack:

“Don, call into us, we LOVE it..! We love YOU...! Let me FELLATE YOU..!!!”

He delivers ratings.

They’re verbal about this ban? Trump should be publicly verbal RIGHT BACK to them.

No problem.

Now he’s free for another news outlet...

So the mass media is reduced to reporting on each other.

He should buy OAN and tackle FOX NEWS with his own cable news outlet.

(I heard some rumors about this actually being considered)

TOAN - Trump’s One America News

They are so worried about his TOAN ...lol

He could use his “Donald J Trump for President” YouTube channel for his live interviews. It would be funny if he got higher ratings than the networks.

While it is true that it’s been a win-win for media and TRUMP to converse at will over the phone and occasional appearances when DJT is in NYC, there was NEVER anything prohibitive for the other lug nuts to call in at will.

Only TRUMP was even remotely interested in saving the nickel and stretching his assets (himself and his time).

The rest of the field had so damn much money flowing up their nose they couldn’t take the time to dial in?

Now, it’s probably too late. Scarborough helped MAKE Trump, on his Morning Joe show. Everyday since last June, he and Mika talked Trump and it only intensified as Donald caught on with the Republican base.

I posited that it was Joe on MJ, who was singularly responsible for boosting TRUMP with Democrat supporters, reportedly to as much as 20%, and this was months ago.

MNBC was neutral on TRUMP but liked the ratings he brought them during the primary. Now that TRUMP is the likely nominee and DC is having a hissy fit to kill him off, MJ will surely stop being neutral and advance the goal of shutting off the TRUMP TRAIN.

Too late, methinks.

That’s right: “then not at all.”

I enjoy the phone calls... so much better than the interviews press creeps are allowed to cut... In person stuff is in-between...
