Donald Trump's fondest wish came true Thursday, as he conducted nearly an entire campaign rally without his hated national media in tow.
He called it 'really good news.'
Trump publicly mocked his own traveling press corps for showing up late, a turn of events that his own campaign staff caused.
'I have really good news for you,' Trump told about 1,000 people in a New Hampshire middle school gymnasium. 'I just heard that the press is stuck on their airplane.'
'They can't get here. I love it! So they're trying to get here now. They're gonna be about 30 minutes late.'
'They called us and said, "Could you wait?"' he claimed. 'I said absolutely not. Let's get going, right? Let's get going, New Hampshire!'

Love it!
GO TRUMP!
Trump had fun at the expense of the DNC public arm flacks.
What are they’re gonna write about him? He knows.
Schadenfreude!
The media is not used to a fighter...they do not know how to handle it.

HRC didn’t wait for her press corps a few times when we flew on two planes. But she never publicly bragged about it.”
LMAO
That’s because they love Hillary and would never ever criticize her.
But they can’t stand Trump ridiculing them!
Just like the Generals today who are still studying Napoleon, future Republicans vying for office will study Trump's 2016 campaign.
Trump didn't use those words, but I did!
HA! Also, up theirs, again!
What a bunch of crybabies!
They can dish it out but they can’t take it.
Its about high time they were given a taste of their own medicine.
And the coverage of the event was no different. That tells you that the press presence is not vital. Cameras rolled, all the networks got the feed, the talking heads can beat some cherry picked remarks to death, as usual.
Its all about them.
They’ll blame Trump for passive-aggressiveness.
And in other news, the sun rises in the east in the morning.
This is great! Couldn’t happen to nicer people, ha!
No one likes the media.
No one.
But the media hasn’t figured out why yet.
Let this be a lesson to all of us, especially conservative politicians.
They're blainmg him for everything else.
If he sucks so bad, why do they allow him to arrange their travel?
Reminds me a little of the White House Press bitching about having to cover W when he spent vacation time in his home in Texas in August.
The best ‘butt-hurt’ was from this CNN guy:
“Phil Mattingly ;@Phil_Mattingly · 7m7 minutes ago
Trump doing this rally without his traveling press corps even here is an absurd joke.

And then starting the rally by making light of that fact to play to the crowd is just juvenile.”
