President Trump followed through after tweeting that he will publish an unedited preview of his "60 Minutes" sitdown to show viewers that the interview was a vicious attempted takeout by correspondent Lesley Stahl when he posted a portion of the interview on Facebook Thursday.
I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted takeout interview of me by Lesley Stahl of @60Minutes, Trump wrote. Watch her constant interruptions & anger. Compare my full, flowing and magnificently brilliant answers to their Qs.
60 Minutes did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
A few hours later, Trump's Facebook page released the footage.

Lol - agree.
I watched Shatner recently a Twighlight Zone episode (Terror at 20,000 Feet).
His performance was epic.
Lesley Stahl is a ddeep stare puke. She helped defeat the Secretary of Defense nomination of John Tower by reporting the absurd story about him dancing naked on a piano with a Russian ballerina. This story has been cleaned from the web but is in Tower’s auto bio.
Thank you. Excellent work and it is still totally valid.
I’d love to see the unedited version of Sarah Palin’s “interview” with that witch Katie Couric.
Mike Wallace kneeling at the foot of Aatola Koulmeni - “Emam, President Sadat of Egypt, a devotely religious man, a Moslem, says that what you are doing now is, quote, a disgrace to Islam, and he calls you, Emam, forgive me, his words not mine, a lunitic. I know that you have heard that comment.” - Mike Wallace interview on “60 Minutes” 60 Minutes did not ask for forgiveness when they did their hatchet job on General Westmorland.
Which other President would have the balls to openly defy a major news organization, not just with words, but with a visible act of defiance.
I love this President.
I hate the word ‘journalist’! I don’t want to read their diaries.
Are there any more ‘reporters’?
Trump beat them at their own game. They think that they have a divine right to do hit jobs that are edited to fit their agenda.
I’m not a fan of Stahl. I thought those glasses hanging on the end of her nose made her look like the pompous, arrogant, Schumer grade communist she actually is. She may have been cute when young, but she’s made herself the very definition of haughty today.
I forgot that he saw Michelle Obama on that wing. Scary stuff!
Nicely done!
Conservatves settle for too little.
Everyone said the moderator was comparatively better.
Some even gave her a B.
Given the failures of the first two moderators, her fighting defense of Biden at the end of the debate showed that she also was a failure.
Settle only for impartially, not better than bad.
You need to update your mime. Scott Pelley got demoted. You could put Norah ODonnell there.
Ha!
If you won't check your subjectivity and bias at the door, how on earth can you proceed with an ‘interview’?
It can't even be called an interview, at that point. It's just some third rate, half-a%#ed clown pretending to interview the President but in fact she's just sitting there taking cheap shots at the guy who is leading the most powerful national entity in the known universe. Time was, a 'journalist' would have regarded an interview with the President of the US as a career defining moment never to be repeated! Instead, SHE sat there and showed the whole world that she's no professional and took the easiest possible path to conducting her 'interview'. We didn't SEE 'journalism'...we saw a narrow-minded and lazy poseur who couldn't creditably represent her profession or herself. She couldn't ignore her bias long enough to do a good job. It was a sham.
Except for the fact that HE'S a professional, a world leader, the elected President AND a gentleman, he could have reduced her to a puddle on the floor in 4 seconds ... if he wanted!
It will be a long time before they try another gotcha interview with Trump. Like four years and a few months.
Thanks for the link. I watched it and now I’m properly primed for cBS’s hatchet job ;’}
Wasnt there a situation where someone in the Bush administration also released an unedited camera take of some partisan interviewer?
-
George HW Bush made a point of reminding the pomp-ass Rather about the time that Dan walked off of a live set leaving cBS in the lurch. I think it was over a tennis match that had gone long or some other programming flub up.
