“60 Minutes” host Lesley Stahl started her interview President Donald Trump with a question about the interview itself: “Are you ready for some tough questions?” Election2020
with a question about the interview itself: “Are you ready for some tough questions?”
The White House had its own camera running during the interview, ostensibly for archival purposes, and in releasing its own tape of the interview, violated an agreement with CBS, the station said. The media would rather ask Biden what kind of ice cream he liked, Trump said, than about unverified allegations against his son Hunter Biden."You think she'd ask questions like this of Joe?" Trump asked his vice president.Stahl’s questions about Trump’s rallies and their participants’ lack of mask-wearing amid the COVID-19 pandemic drew a sharp response from the president.
During a back-and-forth about the status of Trump’s to-be-released health care plan and whether people with pre-existing conditions would be protected, Stahl asked the president what would happen if the Supreme Court took up the Affordable Care Act, which it's expected to do in November. Stahl responds, “He’s not,” to which the president replies “Of course he is, Lesley. You’re like Big tech. You’re protecting him.”
Stahl asked whether he does anything to unify the country, to which he responded, “I do, I think I do unify the country. I think I will unify the country. It’s called success.”“I’d like not to. Perhaps everybody has to take a little responsibility for it,” he said. “But when people put out phony witch hunts, when they spy on your campaign, you have to fight back. And if you don’t fight back, you’re not sitting here very long, you go back home, you go back home to mommy.
