Trump already did interviews with ABC's David Muir and CBS's John Dickerson since entering the White House. This will be the first one for NBC.

He’s not afraid of them. I hope he takes time to film it as well as they will edit it to make him look bad.

Dan Gainor.....wow that is a voice from out of the past. He was easy on the eyes too. He fainted once during a press briefing in Iraq.

I forget what lib broad he is married to. I think a media babe.

Holt can’t possibly hurt him. The more of a dick he is, the better for Trump. Win, win.

Why? Why doesn't he let them die on the vine?

To Clinton :
“How do you feel about your historic role in the last election?”

To Trump:
“How do you feel denying little children medical care and treatments they need to pay for MORE tax cuts to the wealthy”

President Trump can take on anyone, but only if it is broadcast live. When the dishonest media can cut and paste an interview, they can make anyone look bad or good, depending on the interviewed person’s party. I hope President Trump has learned this lesson.

Agree. It’s a mistake to meet with Detestable Lester. Trump may as well have a sit-down with Candy Crowley, for Pete’s Sake!

Rush Limbaugh tells a story from the 1970s when Anwar Sadat was interviewed by one of those network news shows (it may have been "60 Minutes").

According to the story, the network told Sadat that the interview would be conducted over the course of an hour. He asked them how long the TV segment would be, and was told: "The segment will air for 12 minutes."

"Then I'll give you 12 minutes for the interview," he said. He was no fool -- and knew damn well that it would be edited to fit a political agenda.

Exactly! 60 Minutes is notorious for its biased editing. They have even been known to insert questions in places where they were not actually asked.

Both Muir and Dickerson were rude and disrespectful in the way one expects liberal journalists interviewing any conservative (especially Trump).

Trump holds his own, but he surprised me when he actually called Dickerson’s program “Deface the Nation” to his face, and ended the interview abruptly when Dickerson asked the same question over and over again about Obama surveillance.

Then that led to CBS’s Stephen Colbert going berserk in his next broadcast.

I think the reason Trump was more aggressive in the CBS interview than the ABC one was because it occurred months later and tensions are boiling over now.

Kind of surprised Holt was chosen for the NBC interview, but Trump obviously fears no one.

That is how I see it. Trump is not afraid. Yes they will leave a lot of the interview on the cutting room floor and try to make him look bad. I hope he has a tape of all the interview.
