Super Bowl Sunday will feature an unexpected confluence of three powers rife with conflict: mainstream media, the NFL and President Donald Trump.
CNN reports that Trump will sit down for an interview with CBS Margaret Brennan on Friday that will air during the networks pregame coverage of the Super Bowl.
While mainstream media and the NFL have routinely maintained a symbiotic relationship, Trumps disdain for both is well-documented.
As Trump has routinely used media attention around newsworthy moments to make his case for a border wall, it makes sense that hes taking advantage of a Super Bowl audience as he seeks to promote his message.
How much CBS and Brennan challenge Trump on his message is yet to be seen. Whether he uses the platform to launch another attack on the NFL will also be of note

He’s got this.
Great move! DJT is at his best when schooling the leftist media, fact to face.
I personally don’t see a single drawback. If she talks about kneeling, he can say that since he spoke on it, it has stopped. She can ask about the shut-down, he has answered for that many times before and has it wired. She can ask about the wall, he can respond on one of the biggest stages he will have in the near-term.
He’s throwing them another bone.
I think Trump will do just fine.
The network wants ratings. I don’t think it will try to pull anything with this interview, especially since it’s being aired before the game.
Flak NFL, flak commie fans.
Maybe they stand up to red flag with hammer and sickle ...
Down with Bolshevist Comintern !
She will throw him softballs because the advertisers will demand it. If she goes after him, people will tune out the game meaning advertisers will have spent millions of dollars for a smaller audience.
Eff the nfl forever!
Trump should only do it if he, too, is allowed to record it. Even if it is only audio, he can use it to show how the fake media distort what he says and does...
Yes he does. There’s no one on our side better skilled in handling the SJW / Low IQ media.
Most conservatives probably dont even know what channel CBS is on so this is a way to boost game ratings. And conservatives get to see their POTUS.
What is a super bowl.
Might cause some heated pre game issues or late guests at pre game parties.
“:If she talks about kneeling, he can say that since he spoke on it, it has stopped. “
Has it stopped?
I thought after NFL’s tribute payment to Cupcake Kaepernik’s BLM handlers, Big Media agreed to stop reporting on it.
Great. They have 2 days to do some creative editing. Then, they’ll probably have Obama on live to rebut with lies...
Don’t trust these bastards...
Why do they deserve one?
Cluck, cluck.
Why would Trump allow SeeBS to “record” an interview on Friday, then “edit” for consumption on Sunday? Why?
