OMFG- Trump posted the 60 mins: Its nuts - Updating as more comes in - the 2 handed glass is back.

How the 60 Minutes tape posted by Trump begins:

Stahl: You ready for tough questions?
Trump: Just be fair.
Stahl: Last time you were like bring it on.
Trump: "No, I'm not looking for that."
Stahl: "...But you're OK with some tough questions?"
Trump: "No, I'm not."



Dementia Drinking is back and it looks even worse.

In the '60 Minutes' interview Trump posted, Trump says he hopes the Supreme Court ends the Affordable Care Act.



In the '60 Minutes' interview Trump posted, a great deal of the discussion is devoted to Trump complaining that Stahl hasn't gone after Joe Biden enough. Stahl eventually asks: "Why are you asking me about going after Biden? You've asked me 5 times."





In the '60 Minutes' Trump posted, Stahl asks Trump about the health care plan he has never released. He says he has one, but won't release it yet. He then changes: "We will come up with a plan." He then changes again: "We have large sections of it already done."















The only way I can explain
@realDonaldTrump
releasing this entire video is:

1. He insisted on it over the objections of his comms team.

2. His comms team is either so incompetent or so deluded that they agreed that releasing this video was a good idea.

....................

Its even better than we wished, he's batshit in it.

They must be pissed. So edit out some of his more "reasonable" sounding moments, and splice in the moments that they may have decided made him look bad, and cut out the first time, just to be nice.

Do networks routinely give tapes of programs to people to release on their own? I would think that would cut into network profits. But what do I know?

You are right it isn't common but I could see them agreeing if it is that or no interview.

The crazy part is he thinks these clips make him look good. They make his look weak and not up to the job and evasive.

He insists his people take their own video too.

Doesn't that reek of paranoia? Its like he had already decided to pull this little stunt before the interview. Maybe after his disastrous HBO interview. He was convinced before he went in that they were going to be mean to him. Ask him uncomfortable questions. Which as supreme leader he will not stand for!

His presidential library will be full of Trump videos, portraits, non sequiturs and thousands of fake Time magazine covers of him. It’ll surely have a fake Nobel Prize section too.

It’s probably one of his demands whenever he sits for an interview.

He doesn't like hard questions. He doesn't like criticism. He doesn't like improving himself and rising to the challenge.

He does like the blind adoration of adoring fans hence doing rallies to the base in Texas a couple weeks before election day.

And he needs a monstrous PR stunt to gain on Biden. And the stunt must be credible. The problem is that Trump will get no co-operation from Biden, who's been running a superb and error-free campaign.

By the end of the debate, and with about 11 days left, Trump is quickly running out of time and a perfectly thrown hail mary. To extend the analogy, he's getting blitzed by two corners and a middle linebacker and he just dropped the ball.

The time for celebrating is nearly upon us. Let's just hold it together until after the election. But always remember:

VOTE.

Otherwise, he wouldn't lumber around making a fool and/or an asshole of himself.

60 Minutes needs to include the clip of him holding s water glass with both hands. That looks oh-so strong.

The only ones who'd be watching him on Fox are members of his base. That won't earn him any additional votes. If he'd just put on his big boy pants and do a CBS interview that is unhampered by his childishness, he might pull off an additional vote or two, but he's incapable of giving CBS - or any other network - any credit for being a legitimate interviewer. Thus, he shows up angry and defensive before a "hello" is spoken, and goes off the rails from there.

He's his own worst enemy and becoming more unhinged by the day.
