New episode of Donald Trumps (74) war continues with the hated American media.
The president of the United States abruptly ended an interview with the renowned television program “60-Minutes” on Tuesday (local time) and completely left out a joint segment with his vice president Mike Pence (61). He then threatened to post video recordings the White House had made of the conversation on Twitter, even before “CBS” was able to broadcast the exclusive hit on Sunday!
Trump thundered on the social network: “Fake news. Parteiisch!
She also posted a video of TV icon Lesley Stahl (78), showing her after chatting with colleagues without a mask, and accusing her of hypocrisy. Reason: he had allegedly criticized his press spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, because she was sitting at her desk without a mask.
Stahl survived a Covid illness last May after a week in the hospital. Before her interview, she, like all journalists who interview the president, had been tested for the virus. This did not stop Trump from attacking her for her temporary resignation from a mask and accusing her of double standards.
The background of the scandal was leaked on Tuesday (local time) only step by step.
One thing is for sure: the interview should be a double package. Similar to September 2015, when “60 Minutes” had President Trump (then still a presidential candidate) and Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin (68) one after the other in one broadcast. On this occasion, the second interlocutor was Trump’s Democratic opponent, Joe Biden, who had already answered questions from journalists on Monday along with his runner-up candidate Kamala Harris (56).
Meanwhile, Trump declared yesterday after 45 minutes that CBS now had enough material and stormed out of the room, according to news station CNN. In fact, he had planned to give a joint interview with his vice president Mike Pence after his solo, as Biden and Harris had done.
About the reason for his anger, the 45th president of the United States made it known on Twitter: his seat was wrong, the journalist was biased and his opponent Biden was treated better than he.
Trump also announced: “I am pleased to announce that, for the sake of reporting accuracy, I am considering making my interview with Lesley Stahl public before it airs. This is being done so everyone can get a feel for how things are going in a FAKE and PARTY interview … Everyone should compare this terrible election interference to the recent Sleepy Joe Biden interviews! “
During the election campaign, Trump repeatedly complained that American journalists would handle Biden with child gloves, while he himself was repeatedly led to the ice with leading questions.
The “New York Times” reported on the incident: The president was upset by Stahl’s questions. He was also in a bad mood because it took longer than expected.
Whether the scandal will hurt or help Trump remains to be seen. One thing is certain: there were over 10,000 comments on his tweet in just a few hours. Examples of Trump opponents:
► “Tune in to ’60 Minutes’ on Sunday to see a desperate Donald Trump come out of his interview with Lesley Stahl for fear of how he will look on television,” another user tweeted.
► “@RealDonaldTrump apparently had a nervous breakdown when interviewed by Lesley Stahl. And since it was caught on tape, it is now proactively attacking them before it goes on the air, “wrote a third person on Twitter.
Tweets from Trump supporters:
► “Trump’s election has forced the established media, Hollywood, the political swamp in DC, Deep State or Big Tech to show us how deep and how far corruption is in this country. It is all part of God’s plan to expose and defeat evil. President Trump will defeat them all on November 3, “wrote one user.
► “Lesley Stahl interviewed Nancy Pelosi last year and called her ‘powerful’, ‘killer of giants’ or ‘patron saint’; he is not a journalist. She is a propagandist who does not care about the truth, ”said another Trump supporter.
