Why President Donald Trump walked out of a ’60 Minutes’ interview?

Footage of the US president abruptly walking out of a CBS 60 Minutes interview has been released by the network

As reported by BusinessInsider, The tense interview had been the subject of much discussion since it was recorded on Tuesday, especially after the president took the unusual step of posting the entire interview on Facebook before CBS aired it

In the clip, Trump is seen visibly irritated with Stahl’s line of questioning, and the testy exchange ended with the president cutting short the interview.

According to The Guardian, After a question about whether his use of social media and name-calling was “turning people off”, Trump brought the recording to an end. He answered: “No, I think I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t have social media. The media is fake. And frankly, if I didn’t have social media, I’d have no way of getting out my voice.”

A few moments later, he told his aide Hope Hicks: “I think we have enough of an interview here, Hope. OK? That’s enough. Let’s go.”

However, He posted clips on his own social media, in an effort to show he had been mistreated by the interviewer

The CBS network reacted by issuing a statement that called Trump’s decision to release the video “unprecedented”, and defended Stahl, calling her “one of the premier correspondents in America”.
