"So while Trump has been screeching about Biden & his "shady Chinese business deals," Trump has not only maintained a secret Chinese bank account, but he paid $188,561 in taxes in China from 2013 to 2015, while paying practically nothing in the United States."

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.
Mr. Trump then threatened to post his interview with Ms. Stahl ahead of its intended broadcast date on Sunday evening, calling it “FAKE and BIASED.”
The spectacle of a president, two weeks out 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.
Mr. Trump also posted a six-second video clip of Ms. Stahl at the White House, writing: “Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House after her interview with me. Much more to come.”
In fact, Ms. Stahl had worn a mask at the White House up until the start of her taping with Mr. Trump, including when she first greeted the president, according to a person familiar with the interview. The video posted by Mr. Trump showed Ms. Stahl immediately after the interview ended, as she conferred with two CBS producers, both wearing masks.
The CBS crew was tested for the coronavirus before entering the White House on Tuesday, the person said.

Probably conferring if they had enough footage

Will be interesting to see if Trump releases the video as threatened, no doubt heavily edited/redacted.

This would be spectacularly stupid if it happens, as the TV channel will have their full, unredacted copy.Doesn't mean that Trump won't do it though, as "spectacularly stupid" isn't a basic trait they've succesfully hidden in the past....

ou got to be kidding..there isnt one media outlet from CNN/CNBC to Washington Post/New York Times (apart from Fox)that ever says anything positive to say about anything he has done in his presidency ..hence the 'fake news' line from day one..he already knew how their reporting would be biased.
The thing with Trump is that it is not as if the media or anyone else has to assess in any depth what he might mean, or investigate if he really means what he says and so on (for example with Obama he didn’t support gay marriage for a long time and then he did). With Trump they just direct quote him and publish it and it is considered to be fake news, or trump bashing etc.
The man does this all by himself.

A couple of points here.
1. In reality he gets treated by the media with far more respect than he deserves because the Americans make their presidents almost like royalty. This tradition has been seriously challenged by electing this carnival barker, but they've really been calm and respectful considering the relentless s
tstorm he's been responsible for, and just how personally repugnant and rude he is to them.
2. You specifically mention 'day one'. Let's remember what the trump administration did on day one, shall we? Ah yes, Sean Spicer was sent out in front of the bewildered press pool to aggressively lie about the crowd size at the inauguration.

I really like that moniker, sums him up to a tee.

While the situations might not be quite identical, back in the day the magazine Small Car broke an embargo and was shunned by major motoring companies for a while. It came back, with a name change, and is (was) fairly successful. Will Trump emerge from a loss of presidency newly minted with a new name?Mr. Trump then threatened to post his interview with Ms. Stahl ahead of its intended broadcast date on Sunday evening, calling it “FAKE and BIASED.”

There are significant differences though. The magazine was well planned, with excellent management and great staff. It was generally well respected, and its pronouncements were often high accurate. Not so good now though in my opinion, and others I assume as circulation is way down.

4 years and the US really is screwed, all sorts of fractures opened and encouraged. It'll take years for this to recover.
The US was already screwed, it's just taken the past four years to lift the veil of 'USA #1! bestest country in the world' projection for the rest of the world.Their global exceptionalism propaganda/image control can't deal with the fact that social media shows us what's really happening there and they've lost the power to control the narrative about how great their country is.
I suspect for a lot inside the country too the deprogramming has started.
I think the reason why his base is so loyal is because they are white, marginalised and frightened of an emerging USA which doesn't inherently favour them. Trumps MAGA slogan was really "Make America great for white folks again." They will forgive him anything because he is their racist president.
Oh god
“In the film, released on Friday, the former New York mayor and current personal attorney to Donald Trump is seen reaching into his trousers and apparently touching his genitals while reclining on a bed in the presence of the actor playing Borat’s daughter, who is posing as a TV journalist.”
