’60 Minutes’ Was Outmatched by Trump
Variety ^ | OCTOBER 14, 2018 | Daniel Daddario

Posted on 10/14/2018 11:07:46 PM PDT by Trump_vs_Evil_Witch

The President talked over Lesley Stahl in a relentless blast of rhetoric that seemed more rally than 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.....

Lesley Stahl’s interview with Trump was an undeniable get; he’d been scarce on mainstream media since around the time he appeared on tape with NBC’s Lester Holt and indicated he’d fired former FBI Director James Comey in part due to the Russia investigation.

But the interview seemed governed by two motives, both of which played into the hands of a media-savvy President whose refusal to play by typical rules of engagement has been at the center of his rise.

’60 Minutes’ Was Outmatched by Trump

President Trump is so much smarter than all of those idiot libs at 60 Minutes that it was child's play.

60 minutes??? Is that rag still on??? I thought it went down when Mike Wallace bit the dust!!! I hated that show way back when it came on, watched it maybe three or four times when it first came on the air decades ago, and stopped. I hated Mikey Wallace and all the other stinking whining liberals on the show.

He is the first POTUS to be honest about our relationship with the Saudis = that the POTUS is a client of the military industrial complex.

Frankly IMHO not a good enough reason to let them stir up the hornets nest of extremism around the world. They fund terrorism, fund mosques in North America, ect. I just wish the US could kick the Saudi habit.

I thought it was disgusting too and her bias was all to apparent. She was carrying water for Mueller and the Democrats.

Funny I don’t recall 3 years ago the media ever caring about Putin’s character. And after listing all the human rights abuses of North Korea why didn’t she do the same for China?

I didn’t watch the whole interview, but from the few minutes I watched, he really got her good. She was rude, and he rattled her. I’m surprised they didn’t edit it out, but I’m betting if they had taken out every hit he got in, there wouldn’t have been enough tape left to show.

I could only watch a few minutes as this LIEberal noxious, venomous harridan tried desperately to get POTUS to lose his composure. She failed in her mission!

Trump made his chops dealing with New York construction workers, plumbers, union bosses and other toughs. What makes her think SHE could get the best of him?

She wasn’t just outmatched.

Trump clubbed her like a baby seal.

They fund terrorism, fund mosques in North America, ect. I just wish the US could kick the Saudi habit.

The young Saudi Prince Salman, who is trying to change/reform those things you mention in Saudi Arabia itself, should now be thrown under the bus by ignorant Americans who can't understand he's fighting a similar battle with the old line Saudi terrorist-funding Wahhabi establishment as Trump is fighting with our war mongering neocon globalist establishment here? Talk about shooting ourselves in the foot.

As a bonus, the people hyperventilating over this issue refuse to acknowledge the information that Kashoggi was not just a "journalist", he was a Muslim Brotherhood operative embedded in the Post as a journalist while working to overthrow the Saudi government and add Saudi Arabia to the worldwide "Arab Spring" terror supporting movement.

People need to learn to resist the knee-jerk virtue signaling and connect the dots. As Charlie Brown used to say "Good grief!"

Just finished watching and yes she was terribly rude and confrontational. I just love how she tries to ask him why he didn’t try to broker peace with the other side as though Obama went out of HIS way to get along with Republicans. And then she was surprised that he didn’t just knee jerk agree with her that Ford was telling the truth.

As far as Kashoggi I don’t really care. Not our business or problem.

My problem is how we seem to be the lackeys of the Saudis. The way GWB rushed the family onto planes on 911. What on earth do they need the hundreds of billions they spend on tanks on air craft? For what? Do they even have pilots to fly those planes? How useful are planes and tanks against a coup from Wahhabis if that day ever comes?

I hope you are right about the Prince, because so far the Saudis have always been duplicitous.

The vile hag is not a journalist, her assumptions and accusations come from being a tool of the deep state, she is an attack dog who’s marinated in the cesspool of libtardism for decades in mainstream network, but bigger than that globalism. She is a member of The Council of Foreign Relations after all. There’s certainly much more that can be discovered on this dried up wench.

In his book “Airplane” Michael Creighton wrote in a “60 Minuets” type character that was to interview the protagonist. A specialist coached her on the 60 min interview technique and how to counter it....Creighton was spot on and Trump countered Stahl perfectly. The MSM doesn’t like it when the tables are turned!
