    60 Minutes has been such a fucking propaganda outlet since CBS got bought by Trump’s billionaire buddy, Larry Ellison, and EVEN STILL, it’s not enough for him.

    Literally the most soft-ball interview imaginable, the interviewer read a short excerpt from the alleged shooter’s manifesto about fighting pedophiles - it didn’t even directly accuse him!!! - and he freaked out, started saying “I’m not a pedophile” and whinging about how disgusting and disgraceful the interviewer is for bringing it up.

    It’s the most self-reporting behavior imaginable.

      The worst imo is still the question asked during lockdowns that basically just asked him to say anything comforting to scared citizens, and he went off the handle accusing the reporter of being rude and mean, etc. Pretty much the easiest question for a sitting leader to just bullshit through for some easy PR and he couldn’t help but make it about himself.

        Right, but he was never a leader. He’s a boss. And the type of boss who expects people to just do what he says, without any questions. Simply asking a question is a sign of disloyalty!

      Isn’t this how most people get caught? You say something in general then the accuser defends themselves. If he’s not a pedo then release the files

        I mean if you’re constantly being accused of something you’re sure of is false it’s understandable you get ticked off if journalists keep throwing it in your face.

        That being said, his response was completely out of line and I agree very telling. You’ll notice everytime the guy is pushed into a corner he’ll start attacking anyone in his vicinity. He always tries to discredit while himself spouting the most wacko unsupported claims.

        How anyone can listen to the guy for more than 5 minutes and still think he’s capable of running a country is beyond me.
