Moments ago Trump ‘Abruptly Ended’ ‘60 Minutes’ Interview With Lesley Stahl
Trump sat down with host Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes on Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use, according to two sources.
His truncated taping on “60 Minutes,” which was followed by a cryptic tweet accusing Stahl of not wearing a mask at the White House, seemed an extension of what has been Trump’s visible irritation as he enters the campaign’s final days.
Trump and Pence were scheduled to appear on camera together, like they did four years ago, for a walk and talk session. But Trump did not return for the appearance with Pence, sources said.

Tump Notes Lesley Stahl Not Wearing a Mask
No mention of why he walked out but “much more to come“.
Running Angry, Not Scared
“I’m not running scared,” Trump told reporters. “I think I’m running angry.”
‘You know why I do it? I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so when you write negative stories about me, no one will believe you.’ He said that,” Stahl said.
Mish



I watched Trump’s video dump and posted it in the user area. Stahl was fair. Trump came with a chip on his shoulder. It’s clear he lives in a solipsism fed by yes men and sycophants. Stahl was having none of it. She was polite but asked Trump questions he didn’t want asked. And after 45 minutes he storms off. Ironically by releasing it today he’s given Biden debate ammunition. Trump said he wants to end Obamacare and admitted he has no replacement
I suspect everyone got what they were looking for.
Lesley Stahl is a member of the globalist Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), along with other propagandists for the “liberal world order” including Jake Tapper, Mika Brzezinski, Fareed Zakaria, etc. See lists at the CFR website.
How little integrity does it take to Hammer Trump 3 times a day, and then endorse a third party candidate? This blog has no credibility left.
This sounds about right…
According to a person with knowledge of what happened during the interview, Trump was unhappy that Stahl asked him tough questions regarding his rhetoric about Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, a Democrat, and his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the size of the crowds at his rallies and his disputes with Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious-disease expert. She also told him during the interview that allegations about Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, were not verified and that the Obama administration did not spy on the Trump campaign. Many of the questions were about the coronavirus pandemic and his handling of it, the person said.
Leslie Stahl was LYING or is totally uninformed if she claims Obama did NOT spy on Trump campaign.
Obama’s FBI went to get OK from FISA Court to spy on Carter Page and then used NSA’s two-hop allowance with that FISA Court decision to spy on everybody who contacted Carter Page and everyone who contacted someone who had contacted Carter Page and Trump and most of Trump’s campaign was under surveillance.
DNI Ratcliffe, DOJ and FBI have verified that the laptop is Hunter Biden’s and the emails on the laptop are Hunter Biden’s so Stahl made a fool of herself if she made those claims that it is not verified.
by definition Flynn’s identity was unknown. That’s why they had to requet the identity be unmasked. You’re post makes no sense They can’t knowingly spy on someone when they don’t know that person’s identity
Lizard people can. They have that power.
FYI: Identity is generally well known prior to requesting the ‘unmasking of identity’. Unmasking is done to make public, or to openly discuss, thereby avoiding allegations of leaks.
On a different, but related matter, we are told Clapper briefed Obama on Hillary’s plan ‘to blame the Russians as an attempt to reduce her culpability for lost emails.’
Clapper’s plan! Clapper set it up to protect Hillary’s previously agreed guaranteed term(s) as president.
from the wsj around may 13
The Trump campaign accused Mr. Biden of improperly using the unmaskingprocess to target Mr. Flynn, although none of the officials, including Mr. Biden, would have known Mr. Flynn’s identity until after receiving the unmaskedreports from the NSA.
You are clueless.
Obama FBI went to FISA court and asked permission for total surveillance on Carter Page who was a Trump campaign advisor (different dude than Lt. Gen. Flynn) and once they got this permission FBI could use NSA database to look at EVERYTHING Carter Page was doing and TWO HOPS around him so FBI also had through NSA under surveillance 1. everyone who contacted Carter Page 2. everyone who contacted somebody who had contacted Carter Page so in essence most of Trump campaign was under surveillance.
FBI used the Steele Dossier ordered and paid by Hillary Clinton as proof they needed the surveillance and FISA court agreed since FBI had leaked some claims from the Steele dossier to media to create open source corroboration (this was the Michael Isikoff article on yahoo news).
This went through despite Steele Dossier being bogus and BS and invented stories invented by a Russian living in USA and working for Democrat thinktank and feeding them to Steele.
Latest declassifications have shown that Hillary Clinton INVENTED the Russia collusion narrative about Trump to distract from her email scandal and CIA’s Brennan got wind of this strategy and briefed Obama about this so Obama knew too and then Hillary Clinton ordered the Steele Dossier from Steele and the Russian dude working in a Democrat thinktank fed the FAKE facts and LIES to Steele to create the dossier.
FBI was asking FISA court for extensions of this surveillance when Trump was president and got them.
Flynn was NEVER masked when calling the Russian ambassador BECAUSE Flynn had called somebody who had called Carter Page so was under NSA surveillance through the FISA court permission so there was NO masking of his name and that is why the Barr ordered unmasking review found NOTHING wrong because everything flowed through the FISA Court permission to spy on Trump campaign and that continued while Trump was president.
The Steele’s Russian sub-source had told FBI when they asked for 3rd and 4th extensions that the stuff he had told Steele was bogus and fake and invented but FBI led by Comey and McCabe HID this from FISA Court because if they had told the truth they would NOT have gotten those renewals so instead FBI LIED to Fisa Court by saying that the subsource of Steele aka the Russian dude in Democrat thinktank had been “truthful” so FISA court was LIED to and Trump was under surveillance through Carter Page when he was already president.
How is the weather in Moscow today, FacsonJoe?
The only conclusion I can guarantee is that Trump has now made 60 minutes must watch TV. Everyone now wants to know what set Trump off, not that it takes much these days. Trump is easily unhinged but its been almost non-stop since getting out of Walter Reed. If Trump does get re-elected he’s apt to burn the white house down. We already know he intends to dismantle the FBI.
Whatever ‘set Trump off’ will be edited out and replaced with something that shows him in a bad way. When will you realize you’ve been played for a fool?
additional reporting is that Trump just didn’t like the tone of Stahl’s voice and that it wasn’t that bad ohter than her asking questinos Trump didn’t like. Based on the reporting it should have been anticipated
Scoot:
The 60 minutes in question will have Biden, Pence and Harris too so if VP candidates get 15 minutes each then Trump and Biden get 15 minutes too and if VP Candidates get 10 minutes each then Trump and Biden get 20 minutes each.
Maybe 60 minutes can cut 15-20 minute segment from the 45 minutes of interview Trump gave them?
Oh I see, I’ve never seen it. I thought they were all on individually.
only now CBS will add a comment about Trump walking out. We might even have footage
Maybe he stipulated the order the interview topics were discussed in advance and decided to leave before the more difficult ones came up? Also 60 minutes would have less footage to edit so would feel compelled to include most of what was taped and not edit out so much. If so it wasn’t a very good plan. 60 minutes should just rename his episode 45 minutes.
Last time in 2016 the IBD/TIPP poll was the closest to the actual election result from national polls.
And this has been the case in 2012, 2008 and 2004 too
Right now and just when the Hunter Biden emails/laptop story dropped the poll shows:
“The latest IBD/TIPP Trump vs. Biden poll update shows the Democratic challenger leading the Republican incumbent by 2.3 points, 48.1%-45.8%, in a four-way presidential poll of likely voters.”
So Biden lead is 2.3% now and there are plenty of emails left to reveal from the Hunter Biden laptop.
Hillary Clinton won Trump by 2% nationally but Trump still won the presidency in electoral college.
Joe Biden is away until the Thursday debate “prepping” for a 4 day “lid” on the campaign and Trump is going around and doing 2-4 rallies a day

Nobody cares about your fake Russian Hunter Biden disinformation campaign.
“Nobody cares about your fake Russian Hunter Biden disinformation campaign.
Bevan Cooney and Tony Bobulinski have personal Email correspondence with Hunter. Bobulinski has already verified one of the Emails in the NY Post story.
More verification will follow.
Now listen carefully Joe, you are here among very devoted anti Trump friends, united in a unremittent battle against their orange foe, as a consequence you should understand that your comments in essence cannot possibly be appreciated. Thank you.
I’m only worried if the FBI director decides to brief the congress on Hunter’s emails.
Don’t get me wrong…..influence peddlers like Hunter Biden make my skin crawl. But it isn’t going to matter…..too little too late….and the revelations are the fruit of a poisoned tree. Giuliani has little cred a this point. The veracity of the dirt is irrelevant.
Giuliani talking about what he found on Hunter Biden’s laptop:
1.
Hunter Biden smoking crack while naked in the presence of 14-year old girl and Hunter’s sister-in-law getting worried and forbidding her from visiting Hunter because Hunter created an unsafe environment.
So this is Beau Biden’s daughter and the sister-in-law is Beau Biden’s widow who was banging/dating Hunter Biden after Beau Biden died.
This info was from a message Hunter Biden sent to Joe Biden.
2.
Hunter Biden emailing her own daughter that Joe Biden takes 50% of the money Hunter Biden “earns” and has done this for 30 years so Hunter Biden has been Joe Biden’s bag man for 30 years so Joe Biden has been CORRUPT as hell for 30 years.
3.
Hunter Biden and Devon Archer had a Morgan Stanley brokerage account through which about 800 million dollars flowed and they used this account for money laundering and got some millions in compensation for this laundering of money.
4.
So far Bidens seem to have earned tens and tens of millions from this corruption where Joe Biden sold his position and Hunter Biden collected the money.
5.
The hard-drive copy has been turned over to Delaware State Police by Giuliani because of the topless and suggestive pose pictures of the 14 year old girl.
6.
Giuliani has looked at just half of the harddrive.
7.
FBI had the harddrive since December 2019 so FBI had this while Trump was being impeached so FBI leadership HID proof of Joe Biden’s corruption and has done NOTHING.
FBI needs to be CLOSED and REPLACED with a new agency or the whole FBI needs to be reformed starting with FIRING all in the FBI leadership positions.
8.
Out of 10 million dollar yearly deal Biden’s had with China Hunter Biden got 20% and Hunter kept 10% for the “big guy” and this is Joe Biden and Bidens had an office paid by the chinese and asked for keys for Joe Biden.
9.
Hunter Biden’s signature and name is on the form leaving the Macbook to be repaired for water damage with the computer shop and Hunter Biden’s lawyer asked for the laptop back long after the 90 day limit to pay the bill had expired and ownership transferred to the Computer repair shop.
Lots more in the video:
Joe Biden is TOTALLY DONE.
There is NO way Joe Biden gets elected IF media reports the FACTS.
If USA was a working DEMOCRACY Joe Biden and Hunter Biden would be ARRESTED by FBI tomorrow and actually they would have been arrested already in December 2019.
It is likely Joe Biden ran for president to avoid arrest and his only option to avoid a long prison sentence is to be elected president.
Let’s see how well this works.
Works pretty well.
I have to note that it is 10:19am Moscow time. And 3:19am Eastern Time. Nobody in the US is up except people like me with 4 month old infants.
There’s no harddrive incriminating Trump, is there ? All you desperate socialists could come up with was some unfounded, yellow journalism, irrelevant bs !
Lookin’ good Louis!
How dare these criminals question our great President….doesn’t that 80 year old woman have any shame?
Americans accidentally picked a 5-year old toddler as their President in 2016. Today they just find out that the President actually is now 4-year old!
On a side note it looks like Rudy turned over a hard drive containing underaged girls on Hunters computer. Not that I believe it but can we get just one direct question from the media about this and the meeting? Seems relevant.
….it looks like Rudy turned over a hard drive…
What, are you peeping in his Windows??
This sort of comment reminds me of the old Life cereal commercial, “let Mikey try it, he’ll eat anything…”
Good to know you’ll swallow anything.
Interesting to know you would never blame a crackhead for bone headed other decisions.
Sounds like you believe your reality and I will believe mine.
Its called 60 mins not 45
Usually 60 minutes has 3-4 segments lasting about 15-20 minutes each.
In this case Biden, Kamala, Pence and Trump are all on the same 60 minutes so they have 15 minutes each so I am sure 60 minutes can cut and edit from that 45 minutes Trump gave them and 15 minute segment or 20 minute segment if the VP candidates are given just 10 minutes each.
Nothing new. About 30 years ago Illinois Power Company of Decatur Illinois sued 60 Minutes and won after 60 Minutes sliced and diced editing of recorded interviews of Illinois Power Company managers of a nuclear power plant in Clinton, IL. Illinois Power Company won in court because they had recorded the interviews in their entirety, unbeknownst to 60 Minutes.
About time for you to go on 60 minutes, Mish. You can discuss your Pizza Hut indicator of the economy.
won?
court?
unbeknownst?
can you provide a link ? all i find is this ( but see how we are hunting down this straw man instead of talking about how the Man with his finger on the button of armageddon is undeniably behaving erratically … oh and over there .. Hunter Biden , look look ) :
” In 1979 the Illinois Power Company of Decatur allowed 60 Minutes access to the construction site of its nuclear power plant at Clinton to film a segment on escalating nuclear construction costs. Illinois Power’s one condition was that it be allowed to put its own cameras alongside those of 60 Minutes to film everything seen and said in the interviews.
The broadcast 60 Minutes segment, in fact, found Illinois Power guilty of mismanagement of the power project. But by playing its version of what was said and explained, spliced with excerpts from the 60 Minutes telecast, Illinois Power made a persuasive case for having been the victim of dramatic and serious distortion.”
Maybe this is his super-secret-aquirrel stategy whereby if he doesn’t storm out of the debate, he’ll declare he’s the winner because he restrained his enormous outrage at being pressed for details…..
Just exercised my right to suffrage. No wait.
Once again, the choice was between the crook and the idiot, as Molly Ivins used to say.
I voted for the idiot.
“I voted for the idiot.”
Ah, you are a true American patriot, keeping your vote secret. 🙂
You made the guessing work very difficult, because the King is both a crook and an idiot.
Yes….actually both candidates are crooks….and neither has any great intellectual bragging rights either, in my opinion.
But one is just a garden variety political hack….the other is a dangerous populist demagogue.
One is just over-the-hill…The other has a pathological personality disorder.
Biden is the CROOK based on Hunter Biden emails so did you vote for Trump?
No, I’ve known what kind of crook Trump was since I was in college…so I didn’t vote for him either time. Trump is a serial liar, a crook, a cheat, and a good example of what kind of leadership you get from people of intergenerational wealth.
Wait….I did vote for him in the Republican primary in 2016…..to block Ted Cruz. But Rubio carried my district anyway, so nobody can blame me.
The question isn’t how the interview went, it’s how the interview will be presented. Stahl could, for instance, edit it to show softballs, then Trump getting up and leaving with the quote in voice-over. Bailing wasn’t an option if Trump still believes 60 Minutes can get him air time with anyone persuadable. But, 60 Minute viewers will see what they see.
Trump leaving early can’t help but get mentioned on 60 minutes. This is already a disaster for Trump. It doesn’t matter how they edit the video or what the questions were. 60 minutes is not known for underhanded questions. I”m already assuming a confrontational interview. It’s not a stretch. I wasn’t planning on watching but now I will. Won’t impact me. I’ve already voted.
Trump gave Leslie Stahl 45 minutes and 60 minutes will cut this into a 15-20 minute segment since Biden and Pence and Kamala will be on same 60 minutes too so this is just a total nothing burger.
60 minutes missed some segment where Trump was to sit and answer questions together and walk together with Pence and I am 100% sure that 60 minutes planned to ask about the pornstar and playboy centerfold Trump was fucking and paid to be quiet and then cut to Pence’s reddening face to make Trump lose some christian voters.
We’ve seen “60 Minutes.” Their journalists don’t EVER throw softballs!
Two salient thoughts come to mind, first Trump didn’t like the direction of the interview and second Trump is increasingly frustrated. These kanipshin fits are now a daily occurrence. Feels like Trump is cracking
I really don’t get it. I see the obvious appeal of doing 60 minutes but if Trump wanted a safe place he should have done more Hannity So Trump pulls Eric Cartman
LOL kanipshin???
It’s conniption…a perfectly good American word.
Trump gave 60 minutes 45 minute interview.
Since Biden, Pence and Harris will be on the same 60 minutes this means 60 minutes will cut the Trump interview into 15-20 minutes depending on whether they give VP candidates 15 or 10 minutes each.
Repeating the same paragraph on every post is just spamming. it doesn’t make your point any stronger.
Let’s see what kind of attacks Leslie Stahl directed against Trump in her questions.
Maybe she did the “do you denounce white supremacists?” bit for the 100th time.
Wallace asked that 4 times and the first 3 times that Trump answered “SURE” was not enough for Wallace so he asked for 4th time and Joe Biden yelled out “Proud Boys” and Trump told them to “stand down and stand by” and to let Police handle Antifa riots.
Media manufactured “Trump did NOT denounce white supremacists” news cycle out of that answer despite Proud Boys being led by a BLACK man and having black, latino, asian and white members.
OOOOkaaayyy.
Sure. If that makes you feel better.
I’ll wait for the tape.
Here’s post-Charlottesville specifically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S6PFZNruJes&ab_channel=BBCNews
Here’s a compilation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JmOSsv-KSg&t=81s&ab_channel=SeekerLand
This is silly. One doesn’t need to be a Trump fan to see what the media are doing, successfully. Meanwhile, let’s ignore 500+ documented antifa/blm riots since George Floyd. They are mostly peaceful, I hear.
Stand by means ‘be on the ready’ but you already knew that…
It’s also the vocal paralanguage in the way he says it, i.e. it’s the way he says it. I’ve never seen someone angrier to denounce white supremacy before.
Considering Trump’ well-known short attention span, I suspect that after 40 minutes with the 60 minutes team he was distracted and went for a burger…then moved on to other things on his agenda. Nice to see that 60 minutes gets the time of day from Trump, considering that 90% of his television interview are with FOX
That is probably the most likely answer.
Trump has a short attention span, sometimes it is a benefit because getting facts quickly and then making a decision is good sometimes but sometimes it is a handicap.
Maybe he was eating a burger and did not want to be bothered again.
Low expectations….
Trump needs to be interviewed by “40 Minutes” then, not this program?!
The program is 60 minutes and Biden and Pence and Harris will be interviewed too on the same program so the 45 minute interview Trump gave will be cut into a 15 minute segment (If VP candidates get also 15 minutes each) OR 20 minute segment (if VP candidates get 10 minutes each).
I think 45 minute interview is enough to cut a 15-20 minute segment.
Maybe Trump sensed/guessed that nasty questions would be saved for the 15 minutes Trump was supposed to answer questions together with Pence and bailed and went to eat a hamburger instead.
If I would have wanted to get Trump to lose voters I would have asked about the pornstar and playboy centerfold when Pence and Trump were together and then zoom in on Pence’s face and get his comments too and get Trump really angry at 60 minutes also and on camera…
Joe Biden is asked questions like “What kind of shake you ordered?” by media and this was when the NY Post story about Hunter Biden’s laptop/emails was already out…
60 minutes and Leslie Stahl wanted to get more viewers for the program to get good ratings and also to create the narrative that Trump walked out on them to make Trump lose voters and they did or tried to do both with this news.
Most people fell for the narrative engineering by 60 minutes and Leslie Stahl…
Probably true. But remember every president since probably Ike and certainly Kennedy (recall Nixon sweating cost him the election in front of a youthful Kennedy) has used mass media to their advantage. Liberals in mass media love to hate Trump. I don’t like Trump, he screwed some of my family members with immigration (they did get in, but it cost us a lot in legal fees) but strangely, since I hate the Democratic party’s spending policy (not that today’s Republicans are that far behind), I might actually vote for Trump in VA since it’s a Blue state and he has no chance of winning, so my vote will be a protest vote.
Nice try Trump is a winner with no time for BS
the Utah ad https://twitter.com/SpencerJCox/status/1318537411471708162
Whoa. Looks like there will be a lot of disqualified ballots in Utah when both of these guys are checked.
Mormons, you’ve got to love’em! God bless ’em! The thing is, they probably both have good character! And the problem with Trump is, he doesn’t. Character is not an issue when it doesn’t differentiate the candidates. Remember McCain speaking about Obama? Both men of character.
McCain left his wife that had waited for him years when he was a prisoner of war immediately when returning and married a wealthy heiress…
McCain took part in an operation where CIA armed and trained Free Syrian Army and all joined ISIS immediately after getting training and guns and other arms and jeeps and humvees.
The ISIS press dude was cheesing together with McCain in the tv feeds shown by CNN of McCain visiting Turkey to pose as a big man involved in supporting the “syrian opposition” and was later killed and his death photo and the guys photo who McCain was cheesing with were shown side by side and it was the same person.
McCain was AGAINST bombing the ISIS oil convoys to Turkey that ISIS used to finance their operations despite McCain being a war-mongers war-monger through his career and loving the Afghanistan and Iraq wars and wanting a war with Iran too at one time and supporting the bombing of Libya and Gaddafi and arming the “libyan opposition” aka islamist extremists.
If there is a hell then McCain is burning there for all eternity.
This is exactly why seniors/electorate are turning on him, he is not doing himself any favors.
This type of erratic behavior is beginning to worry people as this is what would one expect from a toddler/child, imagine how easy it is for a natural amoral manipulator like Putin/Meadows/Kushner to mess with this guy.
yes older voters and woman..enough of the ME ME ME ME ME hissy fits
Actually the POTUS thinks of the country all the time.
Trump’s behavior is bizarre and erratic.
Unlike Jim Crow Joe hiding in the basement
It’s a suble way of winning over white suburban women….
Please like meeeee…
Why are “the women” so “nasty” to Fat Donnie from Queens?
I await your cogent responses.
Stahl was hospitalized for covid in the spring. She, like Trump, according to Trump is “immune” to covid.
He’s a big effin whiner and baby.
Snowflake.
