60 Minutes appearance must be a disaster for Trump. Suggests releasing interview before broadcast

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
I am pleased to inform you that, for the sake of accuracy in reporting, I am considering posting my interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes, PRIOR TO AIRTIME! This will be done so that everybody can get a glimpse of what a FAKE and BIASED interview is all about...

seems they get nailed for it, more times than not, but this is no tv ad made with Russian clips.

his attacks on the media are meant to "discredit" journalists so that negative stories about him would not be believed...

Or I guess he could be trying to get out ahead of damaging material, a la Bill Barr.

Over 60% of U.S. voters will enjoy watching him implode.

Donnie doesn't play nice like the other kids. Three out of four seemed to come out unscathed. He creates his own problems, "like no one has ever seen before."

You couldn't answer a tough question if your life depended on it.

You are what a common man would call a coward.

And I'm guessing that CBS owns the copyright for the footage anyway

If they even have actual footage, they’ll edit it to look good for him or something to keep the rubes in line. This must be a disaster

Donald Trump leaves contentious '60 Minute' interview with Lesley Stahl, goes on Twitter attack
David Jackson
USA TODAY

Link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/10/20/lesley-stahl-donald-trump-leaves-contentious-60-minutes-interview/5998366002/

Trump abruptly ended the session – he didn't do the traditional "walk-and-talk" with Stahl, and said the "60 Minutes" crew had been given enough time – nor did he return for a joint interview with Vice President Mike Pence, said two people familiar with the incident.

The president also sent out an attack tweet about Stahl, posting a six-second video of her not wearing a mask at the White House just a few weeks after COVID-19 raced through the building.


Jeez, he was even deceptive about Stahl not wearing a mask during a previous interview. Meanwhile, he very rarely wears a mask.

Their lies and deceptions have gone from the normal shitstorm to full-blown shit-hurricane strength.
