President Trump sat down for a lengthy interview with Lesley Stahl on CBS' "60 Minutes," discussing a wide variety of topics from climate change to foreign policy to the Mueller investigation.
The big picture: Trump was discursive — and often combative — while defending some of his administration's most controversial policies, including family separation at the border. He ended one particularly tense exchange with Stahl by reminding her, "Lesley, it's okay. In the meantime, I'm president — and you're not."
Show less Climate change "I think something’s happening. Something’s changing and it’ll change back again. I don't think it's a hoax, I think there's probably a difference. But I don't know that it's manmade. I will say this. I don't want to give trillions and trillions of dollars. I don't want to lose millions and millions of jobs. I don’t want to be put at a disadvantage." "I'm not denying climate change. But it could very well go back. You know, we're talking about over a millions of years. They say that we had hurricanes that were far worse than what we just had with Michael." Reality check: The vast majority of scientists do believe that climate change is a real — and dangerous — phenomenon, highlighted by last week's report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change that warned of potential catastrophe unless the world took "unprecedented" steps to combat the issue.

It was ridiculous but I would expect nothing else from SeeBS. Every single question except the last was negative against him. When they interviewed Obama or Hillary it was a complete 180: “How are the children doing? What’s the last movie you enjoyed?”
Yes, she was appropriately wary. Very smart of her.
She brings up the hurricanes, but here's a quote by Lindzen on that:
"We're talking of a few tenths of a degree change in temperature. None of it in the last eight years, by the way. And if we had warming, it should be accomplished by less storminess. But because the temperature itself is so unspectacular, we have developed all sorts of fear of prospect scenarios – of flooding, of plague, of increased storminess when the physics says we should see less. I think it's mainly just like little kids locking themselves in dark closets to see how much they can scare each other and themselves."
Someone needs to do a side by side of 60 Minutes performing fellatio on Obama for 8 years vs their treatment of Trump.
I agree with the bad editing, but he should go in with the lions and correct what he can. They hate him because the media has painted him as a villian. By at least getting out the fact he thinks the media is dishonest even and that the fact Washington is filled with evil people it may make some wonder what is the truth. Even if it is only 5%, that 5% is a start.

good fair interviewer.
I watched and I don’t think it was as just described. He handled Stahl pretty well and she got flustered dealing with him.
Variety admits Trump won, while throwing in as much negative nonsense as they can muster, including how it was Trump interrupting and going on “at ceaseless length”.
huh, what was this writer watching?
14 Oct: Variety: ’60 Minutes’ Was Outmatched by Trump (Column)
The President talked over Lesley Stahl in a relentless blast of rhetoric that seemed more rally than interview
By Daniel D’Addario
On Oct. 14, CBS’s “60 Minutes” aired an interview with President Donald Trump — rare for its status as having appeared outside of Fox News or conservative media...
And, like Melania Trump’s utterly-on-message, relentlessly forward-moving TV interview, the President’s interview had effectively the same impact as a rally; it allowed him to bulldoze his chief enemy, the media, while airing his own points at ceaseless length. The lesson the media has evidently not learned yet is not to be sitting right there when he does it...read on

Axios is funded by NBC and the biggest Democrat-owning lib billionaires, like Katzenberg and the Bradley’s.
It is nothing but a Soros Group Propoganda operation
These just end up a chance for the fake news to get in the bit with the people around him who are going to jail and dig up the Putin,climate change and whatever same old rehash. On our side it reminds me of the debates and what zingers the President gets in. I wouldn’t call this an interview...not sure what it was.
I wish Mark Levin could get an interview, but I’m not sure the President is really interested in that as much as the spectacle. This will be memory holed
Thank you for this report....and for that of everyone.
I actually was busy doing other things and missed the sixty-minute interview so am glad to be able to read about it from the right perspective.
Please don’t change President Trump.
Treating you badly is their way of life. We have witnessed the bias for years and years.
WHAT IS DIFFERENT now, is that you, Thank you,Sir, have finally, finally talked to them in the way they SHOULD BE addressed.
AND WE LOVE IT.
They are getting everything they deserve for years of bias.
I missed Melania’s 20/20 interview also.
Maybe it’s on youtube?
Thanks for your take on the interview. I knew she would so very well.
“He ended one particularly tense exchange with Stahl by reminding her, “Lesley, it’s okay. In the meantime, I’m president — and you’re not.”
And just like that...everyone knew why we elected him.
Yes to that. Brett makes me ill.
Bret Baer??? Uh...no.
I wonder if Jared and Ivanka have re-registered as Republicans? After the way the press and Dems have treated their family and father I would think they finally can see the evil in the Devil Democrats...especially Ivanka’s (former??) friend Chelsea Clinton....
Stahl is a rude, arrogant DemocRat scag. If the interviewer was a guy, Trump would have been even tougher.
