Trump storms out of 60 Minutes interview; Now has beef with Lesley Stahl

Great, this will come out Sunday and whatever horrible mistake he made will dominate the headlines for the final week.

I watched it, it's just your typical embarrassment for Trump.

For anyone who's not infected with Fox Brain, the entire interview is pure cringe as he refuses to answer any direct questions, lies constantly, whines constantly about the unfair press, launches attacks at Joe Biden and then insists (falsely) that they've all been verified, and clearly has no plans and nothing to offer beyond talking points.

Unfortunately, if you're infected with Fox Brain, what you saw was a president treated so unfairly! by being asked basic questions about his policies and then follow-up questions when he dodges or pivots.

I mean, the exchange on health care really says it all.  Trump insists he'll protect pre-existing conditions.

Stahl just keeps asking him "how" and he see-saws back and forth between "we're going to have a plan" and "we've already put out a plan but the fake news press doesn't want to cover it."

Then she says his Obamacare lawsuit will get rid of protections for pre-existing conditions, and he starts off saying "no it won't" and then shifts to "I hope it does so that we can replace it with our better plan."

WHAT PLAN?

"You know, the press is so fake, so mean to me, all you do is attack me and you never ask Joe Biden these tough questions, like you never ask him about HUNTER BIDEN and the E-MAILS"

One thing Trump does that I've noticed my Republican friends+family love to do is just flatly assert something that isn't true, but phrased in such a way that I can't prove it untrue without having the actual video evidence in front of me.  So he asserts that they are giving him a really tough interview while they gave Biden an easy interview, and that's proof that she's biased.  Stahl could say "we didn't give Biden an easy interview" -- which is true! -- but he alleges that 60 Minutes lobbed "softball after softball" at Biden, and Stahl can't prove him wrong without having the video in front of her.  After all, she probably hasn't memorized the entire Biden 60 Minutes interview in order to prepare for one of Trump's lies.  So he gets away with it.
