Donald Trump demonstrated that the campaign was all about his supporters Thursday night when news media were stuck and couldn’t get to the Laconia, New Hampshire event in time for its opening.
Knowing that many of the people had already waited hours for the rally, the Republican presidential nominee declined the reporters’ request to delay the start. and appeared pleased with himself doing it.

“I have really good news for you,” Trump said. “I just heard that the press is stuck on their airplane, they can’t get here. I love it.”
He told them that the reporters are “going to be about 30 minutes late. They called us and said, ‘could you wait!’ I said ‘absolutely not,’ let’s get going!”
The reporters voiced their anger at the snub on social media, beginning with CNN Politics reporter Jeremy Diamond.

NY CNN correspondent, Phil Mattingly seemed particularly peeved:
Trump doing this rally without his traveling press corps even here is an absurd joke.

And when the reporters finally arrived how much of the rally were they able to report on? Not much, according to The New York Times; Nick Corasaniti.
The traveling Trump press saw 3 minutes and 28 seconds of his rally in Laconia.
