I’m watching the 60 Minutes interview that Trump posted on Facebook. He was PISSED when he walked in the door. Something happened right before.

Within the first minute, Trump hit Lesley Stahl with an “excuse me” — meaning, she had already pissed him off by questioning one of his lies.

It is clear that Trump was PISSED OFF before he got to the interview with Lesley Stahl. Even during the small talk before the taping he was dour. I’d love to know what happened before he got there. This is why he walked out, he was pissed walking in.

Now he’s denying that he’s behind with suburban women. He is. And even acknowledged it in a speech a few days ago.

Now Trump is claiming that he saved millions of people, “2.2 million people were supposed to die.” No, they really weren’t. 2.2 million people were predicted to die if Trump did absolutely nothing. That’s hardly a measuring point.

“I feel masks possibly work.”

Trump says his rallies this week are “the biggest rallies we’ve ever had.” Stahl says that’s not true, you had bigger rallies before. He says “you’re so negative.”

Trump says, take a look at me yesterday in Arizona, “everybody behind me had a mask.” Trump’s people make the people RIGHT BEHIND him on camera wear masks, nobody else does.

This is the look Trump gives his staff off camera when Lesley Stahl keeps asking him why he won’t wear a mask, since his followers love him and would listen.

Trump says “we hope that they end it,” when asked if he wants the Supreme Court to end Obamacare.

Trump says he’s dismantled most of obamacare already — not true — then tells Lesley Stahl that “we’ve come up with many plans” to replace Obamacare, and he’ll show her “after the interview.”

Trump is now lecturing Lesley Stahl that Joe Biden walked out of an ice cream store with an ice cream cone, and the media asked Biden what flavor ice cream he had. And this has made Trump very upset, apparently.

Btw, @LesleyRStahl’s interview with Trump is 1000x less confrontational than @jonathanvswan’s.

He hates her.

Trump is back on Biden’s ice cream again. Very very upset about Biden’s ice cream cone.

Trump at one point asks Lesley Stahl where they are. (They’re in the White House.) Not clear if he’s having a moment.

Trump is now telling Stahl that the half of the country that doesn’t like him was really starting to like him - “we were all coming together” — and then the virus hit.

We were in fact not starting to like him.

Stahl asks Trump if he feels any responsibility for the country being divided. Trump responds, “I’d like not to.”

In the middle of the 60 Minutes interview, Trump has a hard time lifting a glass of water with his right hand, and uses his left hand to help. This has happened before.

Trump says he “doesn’t know anything” about the plot to kidnap and assassinate Michigan Governor Whitmer.

Let me remind folks again: Trump was clearly PISSED when he walked into this interview with Lesley Stahl. Something clearly happened before the interview, and he didn’t want to do it. He was angry before Lesley Stahl opened her mouth.

Stahl says Trump encouraged his supporters to say “locker her up!” about Gov. Whitmer, who was the target of an assassination plot. Trump says “when did I say ‘lock her up?’”

He did. The crowd chanted “lock her up” about Whitmer, Trump laughed and responded: “lock them all up!”

Trump is really going at this issue of whether he said “lock her up” about Whitmer — “I never said that… why would I say that?”

He did.

Trump tells Lesley Stahl that “it’s been totally verified” that Obama and Biden spied on his campaign (it hasn’t). He then tells her, “you’ll find out,” as if he has some super duper double secret proof that he’s holding on to for the right moment.

Trump is now whining that Lesley Stahl’s questions were “inappropriate… right from the beginning.”

They weren’t.

Trump is now claiming that Lesley Stahl is biased because at the beginning of the interview she said “these are going to be tough questions.”

I’m not joking.

Oh my god!

Trump to 60 Minutes’ Lesley Stahl right before calling off the interview: “Your first statement to me, ‘this is gonna be tough questions.’ I don’t mind that. But when you set up the interview, you didn’t say that. You said, ‘oh let’s have a little interview.’”

Trump is still on this: “You start with me — excuse me, Lesley — you start with me, your first statement was, ‘are you ready for tough questions?’ That’s no way to talk. No way to talk.”

Trump then calls off the interview.
