He looks very uncomfortable starting around three minutes in.

"We have more cases because we do so much testing. If we did less testing, we'd have fewer cases..."

"I saved millions of people..."

And then, ever few questions:

"You would never ask Biden a question like this..."

And then, ever few minutes:

Attacking Lesley Stahl as dishonest and the media as fake. Every question is unfair and "misleading..."

And:

"Biden will destroy suburbia..."

But I cheated and skipped to the very ending where he terminates the interview.

""He said, 'You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.' He said that," Stahl told the audience, adding, "So, put that in your head for a minute.""

He basically challenged her integrity and dared her to question him. Challenge accepted.

And then he has the nerve to whine when he gets his ass kicked.

than he did during the last debate.

He's understandably in a shitty, defensive mood that wears thin fast.

Stahl should narrate the process of the interview, including the "blank" books she was shown (if they were indeed blank). CBS should back up it's journalists and do a dive into how Trump has been using his rhetoric to discredit journalists.

They should have Masha Gessen on to parallel how Trump uses Russian tactics like Putin's to discredit any honest media depictions of him.

I agree with you that giving Trump more air time is not a great thing.

I just happen to think in this case, that talking not necessarily about the content (though that would be good too) but the process and how Trump approached the interview and the body language and his tactics, would be good for the audience to see.

In the interview he called it a fortune.

Watched it all, a horrible interview, indeed.
