Trump is setting a distressing precedent today. He’s traveling to Mexico. His traveling press has not been invited along. We’re in Phoenix.

Trump’s traveling press corps will not be with him in Mexico. That’s unusual/unprecedented for a nominee taking a foreign trip…

It’s absolutely maddening that traveling press who cover Trump constantly are being left behind in Phoenix while he’s in Mexico.

Trump at moment is not planning to bring US media with him on trip. Anyone remember another nominee doing foreign trip w no press corps?

During perhaps the most intriguing meeting of presidential campaign — Trump and Mexican president — traveling press won’t be there. Shame!
