Uncovered Video Clip From 1990 Shows Nasty Trump Storming Out of Interview When Confronted About His Finances
We all know by know Trump plays it fast and loose with his finances…he’s even being sued by the State of New York for overvaluing his properties. We also know Trump likes to walk out of interviews when he’s not being treated how he wants to be treated. Although he mainly stopped doing that when he became president because he rarely gave interviews to organizations that weren’t already very Trump friendly.
He did walk out of an interview with 60 Minutes Lesley Stahl, when he didn’t like the questions.
This was Trump's epic meltdown on 60 Minutes and it was even worse than reported. Trump literally ran away because he didn't like the questions. pic.twitter.com/48Xu2TiI1o

The tactic dates back to at least 1990 when Trump walked out of a CNN interview when pressed on the economic outlook of his Atlantic City casinos.

When asked by reporter Charles Feldman about negative financial analyst predictions on the soon to open Trump Taj Mahal, Trump lashed out.
“You aren’t going to talk about positive people. You’ll talk about the negative. You want to talk about the negative,” Trump said.
“You know what, do this interview with somebody else. Really. You don’t need this. Do it with somebody else. Have a good time. Frankly, you’re a very negative guy, and I think it’s very unfair reporting. Good luck.”
The video quickly circulated online, just reminding everyone that Trump is the same rotten guy he’s been for over 30+ years.
Trump's 60 Minutes interview reminded me of when he walked out of a 1990 interview with CNN when asked about his finances.

In the 1990 interview, Trump attacked what he called the journalist’s “unfair” attitude. When the reporter asked what he asked that was inaccurate, Trump said, “I thought your demeanor was inaccurate, I thought that questions that you were posing to people in my organisation were inaccurate and false and unfair.”
“I think the questions themselves were put in such a way that made them statements, and they became statements as opposed to questions and I think that’s not good reporting.”
