Giant Toddler Throws Tantrum, Cuts Off Interview

This should be must- see t.v.:

President Trump abruptly cut off an interview with the “60 Minutes” star Lesley Stahl at the White House on Tuesday and then taunted her on Twitter, posting a short behind-the-scenes video of her at the taping and noting that she had not been wearing a mask in the clip.

Mr. Trump then threatened to post his interview with Ms. Stahl ahead of its intended broadcast time on Sunday evening, calling it “FAKE and BIASED.”

The spectacle of a president, two weeks from Election Day, picking a fight with the nation’s most popular television news program began on Tuesday after Mr. Trump grew irritated with Ms. Stahl’s questions, according to two people familiar with the circumstances of the taping.

One person briefed on what took place said that Mr. Trump had spent more than 45 minutes filming with Ms. Stahl and her CBS News crew, and that the taping had not wrapped up when the president’s aides had expected it to.

So Mr. Trump cut the interview short and then declined to participate in a “walk and talk” segment with Ms. Stahl and Vice President Mike Pence, the people said.

It appeared that Ms. Stahl’s approach did not sit well with the president. Hours later, Mr. Trump said on Twitter that he was considering posting the interview with Ms. Stahl “PRIOR TO AIRTIME!” He described it as a “terrible Electoral Intrusion” and suggested that his Democratic opponent, Joseph R. Biden Jr., had been treated less harshly by journalistic interlocutors.

We wonder what would happen in tomorrow's "debate" should moderator (and female!  of color!) Kristen Welker dare to press the Giant Toddler and damage his giant, unwarranted, but fragile ego. Accuse her of being "FAKE and BIASED"?  Stomp off the stage?  Hold his breath?  Better have the waaamblulance ready!

This latest tantrum by the Giant Toddler will certainly stand in sharp contrast with the Joe Biden/ Kamala Harris interview 60 Minutes will run during the same program.  It's set to air this Sunday, a little over a week from the end of the election.
