‘Whiny orange baby’ Trump mocked for his panicked threat to scoop CBS on his own interview meltdown
On Tuesday, following reports that President Donald Trump stormed out of a “60 Minutes” interview with Lesley Stahl for an unknown reason, the president tweeted that he is considering releasing footage ahead of CBS, to prevent reporters from spinning the “FAKE and BIASED” interview.
Minutes after the interview, the president tweeted an attack on Stahl for allegedly not wearing a mask at the White House.
Commenters on social media laughed at the president for telegraphing his apparent fear over the content of the exchange.
A 60 Minutes interview is a huge production with multiple shots from multiple angles on cameras sync'd to a single time code reference. Any attempt to edit deceptively will be immediately obvious.
“Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris were also interviewed by ’60 Minutes’ and all four are scheduled to appear in the same program on Sunday,” CNN reported. “While Biden and Harris taped their interviews separately, 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.”
“Stahl previously said that during an off-camera conversation with Trump in 2016, when he was running for President, he admitted his attacks on the press were meant to discredit negative stories that emerged about him,” CNN noted.
The interviews are set to air Sunday.
