On Tuesday, President Donald Trump sat down for an interview with Lesley Stahl for 60 Minutes, to air this Sunday. Stahl, a veteran reporter, picked up where NBC's Savannah Guthrie left off five nights earlier, and pressed the President on his persistent downplaying of coronavirus, as well as his own condition after contracting the virus last month. According to media reports, Trump walked out of the interview, once again showing he is unwilling to own up to the truth. He ripped into Stahl for not wearing a mask, which is funny considering he refuses to mask up 99% of the time.
"WAAAAAAHHHHH! She's mean to me!"
The truth hurts, doesn't it? Of course, it does. Trump has piled on lie after lie after lie to conceal the truth about just about everything, because he's afraid people will see him as weak. Unfortunately, that horse left the barn a while ago.
And if that sounds remotely familiar, well, I've used such phrases to describe Vince McMahon's TV alter-ego, who was similarly afraid of showing weakness in front of the cameras. That said, we can conclude that Trump might've modeled his faux tough guy persona from The Apprentice after "Mr. McMahon", and has run with the facade since beginning his run for office in 2015.
Also Tuesday, Trump recorded a "town hall" interview with Sinclair Broadcasting's Eric Bolling, which aired last night. Still salty after the Stahl interview, which Trump has threatened to leak before the Sunday broadcast, the president nearly cut Bolling short as well. Someone should've given him a sedative before meeting Bolling.
NBC's Kristen Welker moderates tonight's debate, and has a mute button available to keep the Bloviator in Chief from overstepping his bounds again. As if that'll stop him.
"WAAAAHHH! I wanna do things my way! They won't let me! WAAAAAAHHHHHH!!"
That's because a debate is meant to be a civil discourse between the candidates, and since you won't adhere to the rules, your street corner pitbull mentality has to be, well, neutered. You purposely humiliated Chris Wallace, and you can't stand it when a female journalist calls you out, which Ms. Welker is likely to do tonight.
Good thing there are alternatives to this horror show. Like Thursday Night Football, for example.......
Update, 2:01 pm (ET): America's Oldest Baby has carried out his threat, posting the uncut interview on Facebook. He was supposed to be joined by Vice President Mike Pence, who ended up being interviewed separately.
