President Donald Trump released video footage of the tense interview he had with “60 Minutes” correspondent Lesley Stahl. It begins with Stahl asking the president whether he’s prepared for tough questions and Trump instructing her to “just be fair.”

a video of a maskless Stahl in the White House on his Twitter and teased “there is much more to come.”

“The White House’s unprecedented decision to disregard their agreement with CBS News and release their footage will not deter 60 MINUTES from providing its full, fair and contextual reporting which presidents have participated in for decades,” CBS said in a statement of Trump’s move. The network defended Stahl and its flagship news magazine program as "widely respected for bringing its hallmark fairness, deep reporting and informative context to viewers each week.

“The way you said that is why people think of you and everyone else as fake news,” the president told her. He then said that he “doubts” polls that show him in a hole with suburban women. “Your first statement to me, ‘This is going to be tough questions’. Well I don’t mind that but when you set up the interview you didn’t say that. You said, ‘Oh, let’s have a lovely interview.’”

“Well, I think we have enough. Really, we have enough of an interview,” he says, then tells Stahl he’ll see her later and gets up. The response was one of a number of canned answers he gave to Stahl, steamrolling her attempts to interject or follow up.

What a pompous jerk🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

We know YOU are not FAIR, aren't even going to ask Foreign Policy, or Economic Policy, what the hell kind of fair is that? TRUMP has the best economic and foreign policy of any other POTUS. HE HAS OUTDONE THEM ALL... YOU PEOPLE ARE STRAIGHT UP LIARS FOR SOROS AND THE FAR LEFT!

Such a fake reason to end the interview. Totally set up

SippyCupTrump

What a chicken!! A big fat orange chicken at that!

And she wasn't fair. She tried to deny outright Biden family corruption. Did she investigate? Not seen any 60 minutes report on it.

That's not all he said though is it? She next said... Stahl: 'You're OK with some tough questions?' Trump: 'No, I'm not.' So, no he didn't want to 'just be fair'.

This didn’t do anything to help Trump. Instead of intelligent answers he fell back on his usual tactic, whining.

It is not unfair to ask questions to explain your lies

She added him questions about his claims. Horrors

realDonaldTrump

What a loiooser. A coward

The complainer in chief. Yuck

When he disputes her questions.... that's when they should put the videos up so he can see himself say what he says

Nothing has changed, he walks out when anyone calls him on his shit

Big baby can’t handle the “tough” questions when it comes to his mediocre administration.

What a whiny little man! Unbearable. 😣

I can't believe realDonaldTrump released the full tapes. He and Mike_Pence should be embarrassed with their responses. Lesley Stahl was a total professional and asked the tough questions the country wants answers on. They couldn't answer and deflected. Then they cut her off.

Talking to Trump is like trying to have a decent discussion with a senile, yet spoiled & unruly 10-year old. Just listening to the brief 5-minute segment tired me out already! You can't reason with this guy, you can't carry on a decent conversation with this guy!

Jack ass in chief

Interesting. He hasn’t been fair to the American people.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen footage of his cronies chanting “lock her up” and his response was “lock em all up”... so why is he saying he didn’t say that? ITS ON FU*ING CAMERA!!

Did someone prick his thin skin?
