Love him or hate him, even the left has to admit that President-elect Donald Trump is an improvement over President Joe Biden in many ways.

Specifically, when it comes to media availability, Trump is never more than a phone call away. MSNBC host Stephanie Ruhle recalled her attempt to get an interview with Trump following his Madison Square Garden event in October, marveling at her ability to contact him directly.

Watch:

She discussed how she had decided to call up Trump and was able to reach him with no problems, even though he eventually ended up denying her interview request.

“I rolled the dice and I called him on the phone and he answered… I wasn’t calling to chit-chat. I said, ‘Mr. President, this is Stephanie Ruhle, you made a lot of comments last night,’ blah-blah-blah. It was not an on-the-record conversation, so I’m not going to get into what he said. But I called for one reason. I said, ‘You just said a whole bunch of public things. I’d like to sit down for an interview with you. We’ve got five days before the election.’ So we didn’t get anything, there’s nothing for me to report. I called, I said I want an interview. Obviously, he said no,” she said.

She used this moment to contrast the media relationship with Biden.

“But my point is, I was able to get to him by dialing his phone,” Ruhle marveled. “Now that might be completely apeshit and you’re like, ‘I can’t believe people know this guy’s phone number,’ but the reverse of that, if I were to want to connect with VP Harris or President Biden, there’s 50 people between me and that. I could write a note that maybe could get to somebody to get somebody, then through Pony Express and a pigeon something might end up in a mailbox near them.”

“And I called DJT to say, ‘Yo, can I get an interview?’ And he told me to go fuck myself, but I still was able to connect with him,” she quipped.
