"I'm President And You're Not": Trump Abruptly Ends Interview With 60 Minutes' Leslie Stahl Tyler Durden Tue, 10/20/2020 - 19:42 President Trump abruptly ended an interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" Tuesday and did not return for an appearance he was supposed to tape with Vice President Mike Pence, various sources reported. After camera crews set up at the White House on Monday, Trump sat down with host Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes on Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use. According to the Daily Caller, Trump ended a heated exchange with CBS correspondent Lesley Stahl by telling her "I’m president and you’re not." During the interview Stahl attempted to change the subject after Trump made a comment about media dishonesty, but the president clearly wanted to make a point about the media criticizing his administration for its child separation policy that had also taken place under former President Obama. "I’m gonna change the subject again,” Stahl said. "Well, no, even the way you asked me a question, like, about separation,” Trump insisted. "When I say Obama did it, you don’t wanna talk about it." After Stahl told the president they would run his answer, Trump continued: “When I say I did it, let’s make a big deal of it.” Lesley Stahl: I’m gonna run your answer, but you did it four times, so. President Trump: I’m just telling you that you treated me much differently on the subject. Lesley Stahl: I disagree, but I don’t wanna have that fight with you. President Trump: Hey, it’s okay– Lesley Stahl: All right, I’ll get in another fight with you– At which point the president ended the discussion: “Lesley, it’s okay. In the meantime, I’m president and you’re not.” Shortly after the news broke, Donald Trump said he may release the CBS interview ahead of its airtime on Sunday, saying it would show bias by the reporter, Lesley Stahl and added that "everyone should compare this terrible Electoral Intrusion with the recent interviews of Sleepy Joe Biden!" ...Everyone should compare this terrible Electoral Intrusion with the recent interviews of Sleepy Joe Biden! — Donald J.
