Not going to happen. It's a lose-lose for him.

The full interview isn't going to make him look good. (If it would, he wouldn't be so upset.) If he releases the whole thing, he's making himself look bad.  But it's not like 60 Minutes doesn't have their own copy of the interview. So if he releases an edited version that makes himself look good, they just have to release their own video and now he looks like an idiot twice-over: once for the interview, and again for lying about it and failing.

Clearly this interview was a disaster for him and he’s trying to get ahead of it by pretending to care about the mask, as if that was the reason.

Yeah, I read that crap. I'm sure she was, but it's 60 Minutes and most these interviews, the interviewer never wears a mask. He's just lying, as usual.

Anonymous Trump aides are saying that Trump himself didn't say anything especially damning but rather he got flustered by the tough questions and melted down. Even if that's true, that doesn't bode well for him given there's a debate coming up. He can't afford to misbehave like last time.

Another historically bad debate preformance on Thursday, a televised meltdown on Sunday.

Something tells me the race will not tighten much by this time next week

There's no guarantee of that at all.

Pardon my ignorance but is there something special about this journalist that makes Trump's attacks so reprehensible?

I've always found Leslie to be a fair interviewer, who I remember mostly for her non-political stories on 60 Minutes, maybe with a slightly Trump-friendly tilt. Not a heavy hitter, in my mind, and not one who I would have expected to lead Trump to walk out.

I don't think she is a weak interviewer. She had a tough interview with Trump in 2018.

She's very well-respected, though, as is 60 Minutes generally. I think that's why it gets headlines when he attacks them. Of all news sources, people don't buy that they are biased or unfair.

I wouldn't characterize her as weak, just not a heavy-hitter.

Obamacare became the law more than 10 years ago, and the GOP STILL doesn't have a replacement plan.

How is it "unedited" if it's just a "preview"? Either it's the whole interview or it's not.

Also, "full, flowing and 'magnificently brilliant' answers"? Megalomania much, Mr. Trump?

I know Trump is a tender soul, who can be offended by the gentlest mocking, but this debacle has been something else.

If Trump was willing to sit through car-crash interview like the Axios one with Jonathan Swan, what could possibly have prompted this kind of response?

Did he crack when she asked him a question?
Did he misspeak about something uncomfortable?
Does Lesley Stahl have a tape of him using a certain word?

Seriously, the anticipation is getting to me...

And Swan said his impression was that Trump thought it was a good interview. 🤷‍♂️

I love that he put "magnificently brilliant" in quotes with zero awareness of what that means lol, he's such a spectacular moron.
