‘Delusional narcissist’ Trump ignites mockery after ‘embarrassing’ himself in 60 Minutes ‘meltdown’
President Donald Trump on Thursday released unedited footage from his “60 Minutes” interview with CBS News reporter Lesley Stahl. But many of the president’s critics agree that the interview didn’t do him any favors.
In the footage, which shows the moments before the interview formally began, Stahl can be heard asking, “Are you ready for some tough questions?” Trump tells her that he is not.
Wow, Trump really showed them. Now we can all watch 37 minutes of him being a whiny jerk rather than just the 15 minutes or so that will air on Sunday. https://t.co/K4O5wdV8qH

Trump doesn't seem to have done himself any favors by posting footage showing what an evasive and dishonest interview subject he is https://t.co/BJLiKiGdnH

Trying to be unbiased here, but I don't see what part of this interview looks good for Trump. The section on healthcare plans is particularly bad, waffling between "the plan is done!" to "the plan is coming once we see what happens with Obamacare!" to "big parts of it are done!"

Its her job to ask tough questions of you, or did you forget you were running for president? Its your job to be prepared. You’re the president, you should always have a plan. Your behavior makes us look weak and pathetic. Its very embarrassing.

You are delusional. Wait until suburban women get a chance to see your full "60 Minutes" meltdown. That'll be the moment when the S.S. Trump disappears completely below the water line.

Not sure what is going to be the highlight of this week for Donald: His 60 Minutes meltdown interview or his right hand man Rudy lying back on a bed with his hand in his pants with the blond actress above.
Just got to say I am not going to miss any of this.

I'm watching the released video from 60 Minutes. The president becomes unglued when she asks about masks and questions Trump's crowd size assertions.

President-elect Joe Biden will present his economic team on Tuesday, as a bipartisan group of senators make a renewed push for another stimulus package to help the faltering US economy.
With Covid-19 cases spiking, the world's largest economy faces an uncertain outlook that Biden and his economic team led by nominee for Treasury secretary Janet Yellen will have to work to remedy.The diverse group, with women and minorities in key roles, will face millions in jobs losses and a rising wave of small businesses shutting their doors and major corporations laying off their workers.
Outgoing Treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin agrees on the need for more federal help for workers left jobless and business battered by the pandemic.

‘Conjecture and musings’: Dem senator tears into Trump ‘election fraud’ witness at Michigan hearing
Michigan state Sen. Jeff Irwin (D) blasted former state Sen. Patrick Colbeck (R) at an election fraud hearing on Tuesday.
At a state Senate Oversight Committee hearing, Colbeck suggested that there was a plot to use voting machines to steal the election from President Donald Trump.
For his part, Irwin noted that Trump had not requested a recount in Michigan.
"If you were on the losing end, much like, say, President Trump or candidate John James, would you have requested a recount?" the Democratic lawmaker asked.
"I've doubts with the integrity of the recount process," Colbeck replied. "So, I probably would not have done that."

Dem senator shames Steve Mnuchin to his face: ‘You’re leaving the country worse than you found it’
Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) on Tuesday shamed Trump Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin for his decision to not extend the Federal Reserve's emergency lending facilities that were designed to keep the economy afloat during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Brown started off by giving Mnuchin a blunt assessment of the state of the economy that he will be handing off to his successor.
"Last week, 778,000 people filed for unemployment insurance," he said. "In October, 3.4 million homeowners were past due when their mortgages, many of them will run out of forbearance options by April. As many as 40 million renters will spend the holidays worrying that they will be evicted on January 1st if their government, if we don't do our job."
