Trump’s 60 Minutes Interview Was Even Worse Than Reported and Social Media is Going Nuts

We all knew what was going to happen.

In fact, many of us had already seen Trump’s version of what happened, which basically showed a kid who simply whined about being asked tough questions. He got all pissy when confronted with actual facts that rebutted his campaign speech, that is what really set him off. He did not like being corrected. And, call us conspiratorial, but we don’t believe it was an accident that 60 Minutes sent a woman to confront him.

They likely knew it was 50-50 that he would walk out before they even went into the interview – he cannot take having his lies challenged, and it became apparent right away as this clip shows. We will then set out some of the reaction on the net in what has been a tidal wave of comments on the big baby in the White House, and how he might’ve lost the White House tonight (if he hadn’t before).

Yes, it was, and some of the reaction started with a bunch of MAGA heads reacting as if what happened above was a cartoon of some kind.

There is a ton of this. “What about Biden!!!” Well, Biden wasn’t president during COVID, that’s going to make many of the questions not as difficult. Presidents always get tougher questions but always also have the advantage.

This is a huge part of it. Trump allows them to be racist, “alpha males” (translated into “assholes”) and so they love that. The women that love him are generally used to being treated as such.

This is a massive amount of it. There is no minimizing the importance of having an entire network (the most watched one on TV) serve as his propaganda network.

It was an unbelievable night and quite possibly more important than even the debate. Trump showed that even as president of the United States he couldn’t stand up to tough questions.

Peace, y’all
