What was Trump trying to prove by releasing the

[leftyladyfrommo]

60 Minutes tape?

Did he think it would make Stahl look bad? It didn't.

I don't get it.

1. Don't worry about it.

Nobody sane gets insanity...

[Bleacher Creature]

2. At this point his campaign is just trying to pacify him.

I wouldn't read much of a strategy into it.

3. It's the narcissists revenge... on himself

Unexplainably stupid.

34. Hoisting on his own Stupid Petard.. Again.

5. He released it because in some weird corner of what little mind he has left, that he Aced ...

the interview and 'won'. He'll never realize that he simply looked more like a moron than anything else.

Whining, moaning, ranting, raving, etc. Seems to be the only thing he knows.

[Andy823]

30. He always things he won

not matter how bad things get, he will always say he won. Narcissists can never admit they were wrong, that they lost, our that they are NOT the smartest person in the room. I also think trump is using drugs to keep up with his rallies, and could still be on steroids. The debate tonight could really be a disaster for him.

[leftyladyfrommo]

6. I wonder if he was planning to look calm and sane

And then blew a gasket when he realized these were not softball questions.

[Moostache]

7. Sociopath is gonna sociopath...

He thinks everyone is in the same belief bubble as he and his adoring minions...

He really does seem to believe that because someone tells him something he likes or that benefits him in any manner that it is true and that literally EVERYTHING else is "false", "fake", "nasty" or "unfair".

He is such a goddamn whiny little bitch about everything that it is grating beyond belief. What this does more than expose Trump for me (he is already naked and disgusting in that regard anyway) is expose the utter worthlessness of people who support this imbecilic man-baby. He is sad, they are down right pathetic.

8. maybe he went in there to purposely pick a fight to "own the libs"

all about red meat for the base.

[Wounded Bear]

9. His base likes when he acts like an asshole...

they think it looks "strong" and manly.

[GopherGal]

23. Cue Sam Elliott Commercial here

The Lincoln Project "Men" one, that is.

28. Yeah, that's a good one TBS...

[Liberal In Texas]

10. He thinks it'll hurt their ratings on Sunday.

He's all about ratings.

Plus, he likes to be on TV - no matter if it's hostile or not.

[gracemcdonald]

11. Same reason he released the transcript of the Ukraine call

He believes this is his way of getting ahead of any potentially damaging headlines.

12. Makes no sense. It makes him look bad, unable to handle tough questions.

His decision making, as in his handling of covid, has passed the sane/insane border. He's on the other side.

Releasing this is damaging to him and he doesn't see it.

[leftyladyfrommo]

13. I wonder if CBS will sue? There was a contract. nt

Except this whole brouhaha will really help the ratings.

People who were going to ignore just another dumb Trump interview will watch now just for the entertainment factor.

[CincyDem]

25. That'll take years to settle. Better option - don't air it.

Starve him of his narcissistic supply...he wants ratings...give him zip.


While airing it always makes him look like a asshat...anyone still trying to figure that out isn't going to swayed by a 60 minutes interview.

[SheltieLover]

14. So, will the network not air it & just focus on Joe & Kamala?

I would.

[leftyladyfrommo]

19. I wondered about that. They could edit to favor Biden.

Trump was really dumb to do this.

[PubliusEnigma]

24. That's his angle. He doesn't want it broadcast on TV.

[SheltieLover]

26. Could be

17. She was being, like all negative man ... so negative .. so so negative

it was harshing his mellow

20. Sad. nt

[UTUSN]

21. The STREISAND Effect. Will set off higher ratings for the ticking clock!1

[Wellstone ruled]

22. Playing the Media as usual.

More free Air Time,Pump it up Baby. See see,they are picking on me. She does not like me.

[SheltieLover]

27. They should only air him talking about gutting healthcare & storming out

Then go to Joe & Kamala.

[Jose Garcia]

29. He thinks that he was treated unfairly and foolishly believes that everyone would agree if

they were able to see the raw footage.

[Cha]

33. How Stupid he is..

35. The only sane reason to release it is to air the lies that will be removed by CBS.

Fact checking is not his friend.

[jalan48]

36. If we're talking about Lesley Stahl and 60 minutes we're not talking about Covid or any other real

problems. Trump's actions were not accidental.
