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.

(16,616 posts)Cut together the parts where he is fumbling, becoming angry and making accusations, and then have a panel of psychiatrists comment on why he's so crazy and unfit for office.
Turn the tables on him!

(14,204 posts)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.

(66,750 posts)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?

(19,264 posts)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.

LiberalLovinLug
(14,204 posts)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!
CharleyDog
(760 posts)to make her/libs look bad (mean) and Trump look good. That was the plot.
"hay, let's entice Leslie over to interview me, and then we'll get Veritas in here to edit the whole thing and make that b***** liberal Leslie sorry she was ever mean to me. (screaming) WHY DON'T YOU LOVE ME???" (sniffing, snorting, dry mouth, crying.)

lunatica
(53,410 posts)His presidential library will be full of Trump videos, portraits, non sequiturs and thousands of fake Time magazine covers of him. Itll surely have a fake Nobel Prize section too.
Its probably one of his demands whenever he sits for an interview.

Statistical
(19,264 posts)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.

(7,462 posts)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.

(1,733 posts)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.

(10,134 posts)I cannot believe (I need to remove that phrase from my vocabulary) that he and whoever thought this would help him. It makes him look even more pathetic.

(10,885 posts)and Lesley Stahl". What stupidly devious plot is he about to bring down on them? WE know - but he doesn't -that his nonsense will just end up with him looking worse than he already does, but I can't wait to see this play out.
This interview could be the cherry on top of tonight's debate.
Got your popcorn?
sunonmars
(8,656 posts)Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)Can't imagine what goes on in that mangy head of his. There must be so much "noise" in there with all his conspiracy theories and wacko scenarios. How does he get to sleep at night with all that rattling around in there, OR, is that the "lullaby" that puts him into REM?
uncle ray
(3,161 posts)Totally Tunsie
(10,885 posts)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.

(7,850 posts)account and deals, former generals and officials lining up against him, support among seniors cratering, his Epstein connections, his DNI's lies, his own 25,000 lies, Putin, Putin, Kim Jun Un, Putin, cutting funding for WHO, Eric's testimony about his foundation, turning down covid tests from WHO, being able to land a probe on an asteroid but not being able to produce enough tests/contact tracing and PPE...and any number of other questions about his incompetence, lack of empathy, dishonesty, and sociopathy.
Are both 60 minutes and Trump both making hay out of a softball interview so that people think it more important than it was? Something off here...
