Yesterday, Donald Trump did a phone interview with ABC’s “This Week.” In recent months, Trump has also been allowed to call into other Sunday news programs, including “Meet the Press,” but that’s no more, according to host Chuck Todd in an interview:
.@chucktodd tells @jimrutenberg he'll no longer allow Trump to call into @meetthepress https://t.co/wxJv8utPUu

Trump has insisted that if Sunday news programs want to interview him, they’ll have to do it by phone (something traditionally frowned upon by the Sunday shows), and many have caved to that demand.
Many wonder what took so long:
@ZekeJMiller @chucktodd @jimrutenberg @meetthepress Why has DT been allowed to do this at all?What other candidates were allowed to call in?

@ZekeJMiller @chucktodd @jimrutenberg @meetthepress Like shutting the barn door after the animals have escaped. Too little too late

Right, mission accomplished. Now media can pivot to the general. https://t.co/NM6aANVqyA

Nothing like allowing it for 9 months and NOW saying it will no longer be allowed. https://t.co/O5fYFMEqxj

Too late @chucktodd, you already aided Trump in ruining a major-party primary and now you want to have integrity. https://t.co/8eOh4hTwCo

@ZekeJMiller @chucktodd @jimrutenberg @meetthepress so let's cap the media's donation to Trump at $1 billion in free air time? #rubes
