Why Trump won’t appear on Cavuto’s show on Fox Business

Brian Flood of The Wrap writes about why Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump won’t appear on any Fox Business Network show with Neil Cavuto.

Flood writes, “Cavuto doesn’t know what happened but he has had a ‘devil of a tim’ getting to Trump since then. Eventually, the Trump campaign sent an email informing Fox Business that: ‘Neil does not treat Mr. Trump properly and he will not do the show.’

“Cavuto says it was odd because he’s actually been very fair to Trump, even telling viewers not to dismiss him as a legitimate candidate last summer when he first announced he was entering the race. Cavuto has covered Trump for 30 years, and says he was a savvy businessman long before he became a reality TV star, so he’s not sure what the issue is.

“‘Donald Trump and his followers, whether they’re tweeting directly or retweeting, I still don’t quite understand how this stuff works, but they will hear something on the show [and take it] out of context,’ Cavuto said. ‘Or simply assume from an interview [sound bite] that it was all negative. But Trump doesn’t want to bother with us.'”
