As much as President Donald Trump demonizes the mainstream media, he loves the spotlight. And on Sunday night, Trump's interview with Norah O'Donnell for CBS News' "60 Minutes" was aired.
The interview is generating a variety of reactions on X.
Trump's MAGA loyalists are reflexively praising Trump's interview performance.
Eric Daugherty, chief content creator for the right-wing Florida's Voice News, tweeted, "BREAKING: The White House just released the FULL uncut version of President Trump's 60 Minutes interview - which CBS SPLICED into just 27 minutes. The original is 73 minutes long. 47 held up VERY well through the entire thing. The fake news doesn't stand a chance!"
But other X users were highly critical of Trump's responses to O'Donnell's questions.
The Bulwark's Tim Miller — a Never Trump conservative, former GOP strategist and frequent guest on MSNBC — tweeted, "60 Minutes did not air the part where Trump discusses his success in extorting the network and calls them Fake News. This edit is harmful to me and I'm considering suing."
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-New York) sarcastically wrote, "Maybe I should file a complaint with the FCC against the Trump White House for editing his unhinged 60 Minutes interview. It will use the exact same language Trump lodged against Vice President Harris."
Max Flugrath, communications director for Fair Fight Action, posted, "So, Trump knows who Bari Weiss is, but not Changpeng Zhao, whose company helped the Trump family make $550 million and he just pardoned less than 2 weeks ago?"
Liberal Gen-Z influencer Harry Sisson commented, "This Trump 60 Minutes interview has been a total disaster. He can't answer questions on his blatant corruption, he sounds clueless on foreign policy, and he continues to defend his tariffs which are hurting Americans. Trump is a complete failure."
Sisson, in a separate tweet, remarked, "This is Trump on 60 Minutes right now. He looks absolutely awful. He’s incoherent, rambling, and looks like he’s dripping in sweat. This man is not well!"
