Trump abruptly ends ’60 Minutes’ solo interview

President Donald Trump abruptly ended a solo interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" and did not return for an appearance he was supposed to tape with Vice President Mike Pence, according to multiple sources familiar with what happened.
After camera crews set up at the White House on Monday, Trump sat down with host Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes on Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use, according to two sources.
CBS News did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment. When reached for comment, the White House did not dispute CNN's reporting.
The President later accused Stahl of not wearing a mask and tweeted out a brief clip of her without one while at the White House.
A person familiar with the situation told CNN that the image from the tweet shows Stahl with her producers immediately after Trump ended the interview. Stahl had not yet gone back to get her personal belongings to put her mask back on. She had a mask on from the time she entered the White House and just before the interview began.
With about two weeks until the election, Trump has spent this week lobbing scatter-shot attacks and growing upset at depictions portraying his campaign as doomed. His truncated taping on "60 Minutes" seemed an extension of what has been Trump's visible irritation as he enters the campaign's final days.

    1. @Bennett Donaldson – If you are so influential, what the hell are you doing here with us common folk? Oh wait, you just created this YT account 2 days ago. What happened? Did they delete your account …. again?

    1. The inbred hillbillies love it when trump acts this way, it is by design. Trump is just hoping that there is enough of the brainwashed fools that will vote him in.

    2. @Billito they say that because lazy dems did not show up in 2016 and the idiot won. They want people to not assume a victory. There has been no news of early vote counts as that would be illegal so you dont know who has them. Nice try though.

    1. @Ben Blasdell The only way to shut up the fat orange moron is to put him in a soundproof booth. Heā€™ll scream to be heard on Bidenā€™s mic, unless theyā€™re in separate rooms.

    2. @Elizabeth Neal I can’t understand you, popular vote doesn’t tictate , outcome of election because this is not equal repisint a to ion

    1. @KRAKEN No troll here. But you are just like the dems if you don’t like what you read or hear its got to be a troll. OR RUSSIAN.

  1. Thought this week was supposed to be for showing more character and compassion…who is going to go first? I’ve been showing compassion and respect all my life. I’m a nurse.

    1. Donna, thank you so much. I’ve had ca 2x. We need loving compassionate people. I am praying for you all. I hope you can rise above the Horror. God bless you.

    2. All nurses dont have nor show compassion. Just like all lawyers won’t fight for your justice or your freedom! šŸ™šŸ™

    3. If we all pay attention to those that are in the know about infectious diseases we can beat this virus. Please people wear a mask and social distance. Keep your circle of trust very small. We can do this . We are America strong!

    1. @Baby Boo Are you serious? The President is a “wealthy” brain-dead oligarch. And who the hell is still shutdown? My state is wide open. All businesses are open. You people are much smarter though right? Making yourselves sick and then infecting others who don’t voluntarily go to the Nuremburg rallies to see Donald Hitler speak. Keep practicing your goose step and don’t forget to click your heels together before you heil Trump!!!!!!

      P.S. I could go point by point and dismantle your little list argument, but for starters no one has invoked the 25th amendment, but suck on this, the winner of the popular vote of the people has lost the “election” in 2 out of the last five elections. That’s not taking power away from the people though right?

      Joe Biden has never promoted defunding the people! That’s another lie Q (Trump) is telling his cult members.

      You nut bags and your party stole a seat on the Supreme Court from a duly elected President, so go spin on it.

      OH yeah and got forbid if give the citizens of D.C. Puerto Rico or Guam their correct representation in Congress. Well think about this. Every Wyoming vote is worth about 10 California votes. That’s fair? You know what don’t bother. These are the FACTS, you just don’t want to face them.

      And finally they should destroy every gun ever made because people don’t kill people, but people with guns kill people and people with AR-15’s kill more people per second than even the police can with their standard-issued weapons.

    2. Do you people even live in the same world of Kamala jailing more blacks than anyone and Biden abusing children? How do you not see this? Oh yeah – CNN ignores it.

  2. 0:46 You know who else is getting tired of the pandemic? All the people whoā€™ve lost family members, friends, neighbors, and coworkers, and werenā€™t even able to say their final goodbyes to them at a funeral service.

    1. And the New York Times just made an article that Trump has a of shore bank account. In a China, his arch enemy. Figure that out.

    2. @Chad Reck

      Biden presented him quite well at the Town Hall last week.

      Where do you get your information from? Fox News? Tucker Carlson? Q-Anon? Out of your six?

    3. I donā€™t know a single person whoā€™s died from COVID but I do know people whoā€™ve tested positive. I tested negative and my wife tested negative while we both suffered from the symptoms with low blood oxygen concentration and having a hard time breathing.

  3. Weā€™re witnessing a pathetically desperate man unravel and expose his many layers of severe dysfunction.

  4. I love how everyone just blithely assumes Trump is a rational actor.

    He isn’t. At all. By any remote stretch of the imagination.

    1. @namcat53 37-40% of USA (his base) _IS NOT A FEW…_ REGARDLESS, The OP clearly meant even reporters such as these 4, WHO SOMEHOW _STILL_ EXPECT HIM TO EVEN CONSIDER ENGAGING IN RATIONAL ACTS… RATHER THAN SPEND 30 MINUTES POINTING AND LAUGHING. (WHICH IF YOU WERE RIGHT, ONLY A FEW PEOPLE WOULD _NOT_ BE DOING… )

    1. My aunt dies from ā€œCovidā€ and my little brother had it! I donā€™t know if itā€™s real but why take chances?

    2. @miss prissy Did you even watch the video? She had a mask on when she entered and the video shown was right after she finished the interview, before she put it back on.

    3. Because itā€™s the leftists who drone on and on about masks. All he did was highlight the liberal tendency to blatant hypocrisy.

  5. One of the last things that John Lewis said “we must vote like we’ve never voted before.” I do believe we are doing just that.

    1. Listen to his rambling interviews listen to his debate with biden listen to his rallies and if you actually listen.almost any normal american that talks like trump or acts like trump would be thrown in a mental facility

  6. This election has turned into the worst reality tv show in US history…
    I am not at all ready for a season finally in which I find myself in a civil war šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø

    1. those confederates who didnt die off , racist, bigots morphed in the republican party should be eliminated totally…

    2. Lol civil war??? More like a leftist purge. Your side would get steamrolled in a week. The side that doesnā€™t know what bathroom to use, wants to stoke a civil war? Yeah. Okay.

    3. @Steve G Leftist purge lol, you cultists really donā€™t live in reality. You think you have all the guns? You donā€™t bud. Go ahead and try it, see what happens. I triple dog dare you.
      But you and your ilk will just slink away and scream in your snowflake echo chambers like you losers always do.
      GET REAL.

    1. @Steve G He’s farther behind on the polls than we’ve ever seen before, and voting rates are skyrocketing. I know yall trumpets don’t go off of facts, but you can’t deny numbers
