’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.

“If only all the (R)s in power would fully embrace Trumpism we really could do some MAGA.”

Most are our domestic enemies’ greatest allies.

MSM big mistake was assuming using any female to interview Trump he would capitulate (#metoo and Dr. Ford) to soften his conversation allowing her to metaphorically slice him wide open. Mr Trump is not sexist at all and will destroy all opponents with equal merciless digs.

I’m rarely gobsmacked by someone—I’m a cynic by nature but this guy is a machine. He must have been sent by God. There is no other explanation.

Yes he was. And people need to realize that God is a funny guy.

I mean come on, the man's name is "Trump." It's too rich!

Lesley, I wish you would read up on history and on Greenland. Also the British isles aback about 800-900 years ago when the earth’s temps were milder than now and Greenland was actually green, which is why it has that name; and the Brits were harvesting grapes and making wine.

Comments following the article are surprisingly supportive of Trump considering the audience Variety must be comprised of.

President Trump to Lesley Stahl: “Lesley, it’s okay. In the meantime, I’m president–and you’re not.””.

Excuse the bold....it's a classic Trumpian Mike Drop.

MSM’s ‘typical rules of engagement’ are one-sided and favor them. Everyone must comply and answer their smarmy questions in a way that they can edit for the desired outcome.

Well, as you must know by now, President Trump has his own set of rules. Got that?

By the way, HE is the President LOL

You could say 50 years experience negotiating with corrupt politicians, unions, city hall, mafia, and the media.

I started to watch the interview. 30 seconds of that dried up old stooge’s intro was all I could stomach.

If Lesley Stahl were a horse, she’d be in a bottle of glue and can of pet food by now.

Outstanding....whoever you are ...

I was walking through the room, and only heard Stahl ask, “Will you pledge to me ... blah blah blah ... “, and I’m thinking, “Who the hell does she think she IS?” Will you pledge to me. They’re certifiable.
