Trump releases contentious ‘60 Minutes’ footage before broadcast
President Trump on Thursday released nearly 38 minutes of video footage from a “60 Minutes” interview that he walked out of Tuesday after claiming bias from correspondent Lesley Stahl.
“Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS. Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse! #MAGA,” Trump wrote on Twitter, linking to video of the interview. He released the footage hours before the final presidential debate, hosted by Welker of NBC News, in Nashville, Tenn.
CHANGED: It’s unprecedented for a president to release footage of an interview — recorded by a government crew for archival purposes — before its television broadcast.
Stahl began the interview asking Trump, “are you ready for some tough questions?” before kicking off the talk asking him why he wants to be president.
CHANGED: Stahl and Trump tangled over jobs numbers, Obamacare and COVID-19 statistics, with Trump telling her she had a “negative attitude” and that she wouldn’t ask tough questions of Democratic candidate Joe Biden.
At one point, Stahl insists Biden “is not” mired in a corruption scandal, reported by The Post, involving his son Hunter’s overseas business dealings. The content of a laptop formerly belonging to Hunter that ties the elder Biden to deals in China and Ukraine “can’t be verified,” she said.
Trump then accused Stahl of being “like Big Tech, you’re protecting him,” referring to Twitter and Facebook‘s censorship of The Post’s reporting on the hard drive.

“He’s a corrupt politician, and he’s walking with ice cream. And the question the media asks is what kind of ice cream, what flavor ice cream?” Trump said, referring to a Biden campaign stop recently.
The interview spiraled before Trump was supposed to hand over the hot seat to Vice President Mike Pence, who was waiting to be interviewed by Stahl.
“You brought up a lot of subjects that were inappropriately brought up,” Trump told her.
Producers appear to say they are ready for Pence as Trump says instead, “That’s enough, let’s go.”
In a statement Thursday, CBS News said: “The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter 60 MINUTES from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades.”
Piquing Trump’s rage, Stahl attempted to tie him to a foiled plot to kidnap Michigan Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, citing his harsh criticism of her COVID-19 lockdown policies.
“You want to lock her up,” she said.
“Of course not,” Trump shot back. Stahl insisted, however, that Trump had said so at a recent rally.
“Lesley, it’s such a vicious thing that you just said. I never said lock up the governor of Michigan. I would never say that. Why would I say that? Because she’s doing lockdowns?” he said.
Stahl also disputed Trump’s assertions on new COVID-19 case statistics and on the economic recovery, with Trump touting recent job gains.
“Excuse me, cases are up in about 40 states… why are you saying they are not up?” she said.
“Yes, cases are up because we’re doing tremendous testing,” Trump responded.
Stahl went on to press Trump on the possibility of people with pre-existing conditions losing protection if the Supreme Court invalidates Obamacare — a key Democratic election talking point.
“If there’s no plan, a replacement plan, and the Supreme Court says Obamacare goes away, people with pre-existing conditions will be stranded,” Stahl insisted.
Trump said, “Obamacare essentially was terminated” with Congress’ 2017 repeal of its individual mandate forcing people to purchase private health insurance. “Now we have the carcass of Obamacare,” he said.
“I want to see what happens [in the Supreme Court]. If we win, we will come up with much better healthcare for much less money, always protecting people with pre-existing conditions,” Trump said.Comment

Watching Trump whine and complain about tough questions during the 60 minutes interview. Such a weak man.
It's almost like MAGA and Trumpism are masculine overcompensations that are actually more about weakness than they are strength.

And it's almost like these phenomenons are just masks being worn by insecure, terrified men.Comment
