Watch Trump’s Sad Walk of Shame After Ending Disastrous Interview Because He Didn’t Like Lesley Stahl’s ‘Tone’
Donald Trump is never happy unless he is in a position to intimidate. For a long time, he damn well did intimidate the media. In part, we can blame the media for wanting access and no getting it if they get too aggressive with him, but some of it – let’s face it, was legitimate intimidation.
When a guy doesn’t care how he treats a person, it can be damned intimidating when that person becomes president and is among the trappings of the presidency. Whatever it was that once worked with the media, keeping them from challenging him with tough questions, it ain’t there anymore.
We already knew there was a problem with the Lesley Stahl interview because the Trump campaign put out a statement that they had recorded the entire interview and would expose what a “biased” interview would look like. But now we know, even more, check this undeniable stuff out:

Video of President Donald Trump departing the White House after taping his 60 Minutes interview with Lesley Stahl has gone viral, and blue-check Twitter read a lot into the brief stroll.
On Tuesday, Trump posted a short behind-the-scenes video of Stahl following their interview, which he reportedly stormed out of, and proceeded to attack the legendary CBS News journalist during his rally in Erie, Pennsylvania.
But Twitter users saw a possible indication of how that interview went in a brief clip of Trump walking to Marine One on his way to that rally.

According to The Washington Post, Trump was unhappy with Stahl’s “tone” in her questioning, especially when it came to Covid. Of course the White House says it was Stahl who was unprepared. LOL.
.@CNN is NOT reporting the truth!
I was in the room.
COVID questions were right off the bat. President @realDonaldTrump continually fact-checked Lesley Stahl, who came unprepared! pic.twitter.com/RBZnO8DoXg

Of course, we have to be sure to not make too much out of anything at all. His grimace may have nothing to do with the 60 Minutes interview. For all we know, he just found out that Melania has been sleeping with three of her Secret Service agents – as a foursome – for the last two years. We have no facts indicating such, we’re just saying that it’s possible he just found out. He may have found out that his debit card got rejected by Amazon trying to buy those special chips that a guy can only get in England. We just don’t know. Or maybe Hope just gave him no hope.
We don’t know. We would love to spend all day speculating, it is rather fun. But all good things must end, and it’s likely that Lesley Stahl took Trump to the shed. Of course, NONE of the above are mutually exclusive, they all could have happened in the same twenty minutes.

Peace, y’all
