US President Donald Trump published an interview with CBS television station ahead of the broadcast date and harshly condemned the interviewer’s critical questions. On Twitter, Trump called for “bias, hatred and rudeness” in the nearly 38 minute conversation with renowned CBS journalist Lesley Stahl.
The Republican also wrote that the host of the TV duel with his Democratic challenger Joe Biden on Thursday night, NBC reporter Kristin Welker, was “much worse.” The television debate is the second and last before the elections on November 3.
“This is not how you talk”
Trump had already threatened to publish it before the air date after Tuesday’s conversation. The CBS interview for a special election issue of “60 Minutes” this Sunday should continue with Trump and Pence. Trump says at the end of the recording, “I think we’ve had enough.” Before that, he complained to Stahl that at the beginning of the interview she said, “Are you ready for some tough questions?”
Trump said, “You don’t talk like that.” The 74-year-old complained again that the US media did not ask Biden difficult questions, but that journalists just wanted to talk about his preference for ice cream. I’ve seen all your interviews. They have never asked him a difficult question. “The president of the United States describes his democratic rival as” corrupt. “
Trump lobt Twitter
Trump regularly complains that the US media is too critical of him. He calls these media, which he accuses of spreading “fake news”, “enemies of the people” and also “corrupt”. Apparently that’s also the reason why he tweets so much. “If I didn’t have social media, there would be no way I could speak.”
There were several heated moments during the interview. When asked about the increase in crown numbers, Trump simply replies that it is because the United States is testing a lot. He also praises himself and his team for the “great job” and highlights the unemployment rate.
When host Trump speaks to the many unmasked fans at rallies, he simply responds, “You’re so negative!” Journalist Stahl also spoke to Trump about why he was constantly in attack mode. The president responded that he rather felt that he was defending himself and his office. Stahl replied, “You are very aggressive.”
Successful TV format
The program “60 Minutes” is one of the most successful formats on American television. The interview is said to be part of a special issue on Republican Trump and his Democratic challenger Joe Biden this Sunday. Stahl, a 78-year-old television journalist, has worked for “60 Minutes” since 1991. According to information from CBS, he had his first television interview with Trump in 2016 after his election victory. In 2018 he interviewed him again.
During a campaign appearance Tuesday night in Erie, Pennsylvania, Trump appeared to threaten CBS. “You have to see what we do with ’60 Minutes. ‘ You will have a lot of fun, ”the president told his supporters. “Lesley Stahl won’t be happy about it.” (man / SDA)
