Trump Does 60 Minutes

Trump took time out from talking to his cheerleaders at Fox News to answer some actual tough questions on CBS’s 60 Minutes.

Trump told CBS’s Lesley Stahl that he does trust everyone in his administration and that General Mathis is “sort of a Democrat.”

President Trump says there will likely be some staff changes in the White House, but says reports of chaos in his administration are false. "I'm changing things around. I'm entitled to."

And of course, he got very defensive when Stahl brought up Vladimir Putin:

When asked why he rarely has harsh things to say about Vladimir Putin in public, President Trump tells 60 Minutes he has been tough with the Russian president personally.

And about his disparaging remarks aimed at Christine Blasey Ford:

President Trump tells 60 Minutes if he hadn't made a speech in Mississippi in which he imitated Christine Blasey Ford, his Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh, would not have been confirmed. When pressed on his treatment of Ford, the president says, "I'm not gonna get into it because we won.
