Trump won’t participate in interview for ’60 Minutes’ election special

CBS News said Tuesday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” for its election special, which will go forward next Monday with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris alone.

Television’s top-rated news program regularly invites the two presidential contenders for separate interviews that air back-to-back on a show near the election. This year, it is scheduled for Monday instead of its usual Sunday time slot.

Asked for comment, the former president’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, “Fake news,” adding that there were discussions but nothing was ever locked in.

He is 80 years old and talks about cats eating dogs and that is just not winning debates.

Why won't your favorite traitorous rapist felon do it then?

I'll help you out here: it's because he's a scrambled brain pussy ass bitch.

The definition of a woman; something you'll never touch in real life.

It's absolutely hilarious how that's all you got. Please don't cry and lash out too much when your fuhrer loses, again.

Fuhrer? I am NOT a nazi. I have never been affiliated with nazis nor will I ever be affiliated with nazis, and if I were ever forced to, I would fight until I end this affiliation with nazis, or die doing so

I'll jump in on this. I don't think he's "scared" I think he's just "not competing" any more.

I believe his whole strategy hinges on 2 things:

  1. Core trump voters need no convincing
  2. Election result fuckery

He isnt messing with the votes, thats why he pushes for paper ballots, because its harder to artificially inflate the vote amount, it is easier with voting machines

Because he's seen the resulting data from times he's failed interviews, so is listening to his handlers' recomendations.

Which is why a second term for him should be terrifying for everyone else.

Well, he is clearly confident that he will win, he has to be, no one wants a president that is scared and has no confidence

-4

If he wasn't scared he would do the interview. If he is afraid it would make him look bad he wouldn't do the interview.

That's fear.

Lol. The orange asshole wouldn't get within a mile of 60 Minutes because he knows he'd be shredded to bits.

CNN is owned by right wing billionaires. In fact pretty much all US major media is. So "shredding" is unlikely. More likely they would continue sanewashing the fascist conman and excusing all his dementia rambles.

Still owned by right wing billionaires. Isn't this the same CBS that didn't fact check the vp debate?

If CNN was right-wing, it wouldn’t be full of fucking bullshit like the rest of the news agencies

Oh you're so close, bless your little scrambled brain.

The ENTIRE fascist right wing magat party is NOTHING BUT BULLSHIT.

I'm concerned about this new strategy of keeping Trump under wraps. He is his own worst enemy, and now instead of hearing it straight from the horses mouth, they're keeping him sheltered and filtered through only the most loyal media outlets. Leaving his mob to use their imagination, which will be exactly what they wish to see and hear. It's shrewd in an idiotic way. I can only hope that Trunp will become impatient with being handled and show his true colors at least a few nore times.

I'm concerned about how, whether Trump participates and makes a fool of himself or drops out like the coward he is, the headlines will still all be about Trump. This is exactly the media approach that got him elected first time.

17

If the dem party keeps up the replaying of his stupid shit over and over they can keep that on folks’ minds. Not the best but it always works for the republicans.

12

Ha, called it.

Calling it now:

Since there’s not enough time left for him to recover from this brutal ego bruise, I predict he’ll only do rallies from now on, or appearances on far-right media, because he’ll retreat to his snowglobe for reassurance for a while. He’ll avoid addressing Kamala directly, but he’ll ramp up his own network and rile up his mob. His team will struggle to rein him in, and some appearances might be cancelled.

34

Nope. I don’t see Trump being adaptable and able to take a pounding. He’s a chicken, without the taste.

5

Let’s not use that term negatively, because in reality, they’re a LOT tougher than you think.

3

Why would he. He’s probably suffering PTSD from his last failed attempt to stand and be counted amongst human beings.

He can only appear intelligent and competent at his own rallies where everyone’s knuckles drag equally along the ground.

6

Maybe this is noteworthy? I don't know, I think trump is pathetic for an endless list of reasons, but at the same time I think that something that isn't happening is literally the opposite of news.

Like, if the election came and went, and trump never did this interview with 60 minutes, who would have noticed, especially amongst his whole circus?

Define woke.

EDIT: You should be praying that your manager at the troll farm doesn't see the very low quality of your trolling. You have multiple hits on your comment, but have not followed up with any additional inflammatory comments. It's weak performances like this, that will get you sent to the front, where you can play hide and seek with Ukranian drones.

In the off chance that you're not on the clock for this, you should totally check out the Russian military, as they'll pay you handsomely for enlisting.

Someone like that defines “woke” as anything that scares them. It’s too broad a term for them to actually define without needing to go hide somewhere form the bad people that think freely.

I realize that this probably won't happen, but have you tried to just not hate people?

I have, and it has done wonders for my mental health.

Yes in a matter of fact, but I just cannot stop human nature from being human nature
