Trump interview with Leslie Stahl

 There's a lot being said about it on the web, so it is worth making a post about it.

It is interesting to note how Trump responds to Stahl as a technique.  She is trying to make him look bad, and the fact is that the media LOVES to do this to GOP presidential candidates.

I watched about 2/3rds of it.  There are claims out there that Trump "stormed" out of the interview.  Trump posted it on Facebook, and you can watch it there and see for yourself.  I watched excerpts of that part, plus the first 2/3rds of it, but not all.

Stahl comes off as "whiny", yet you hear quite the opposite from Trump's critics.  All I can say is watch it for yourself.  Decide for yourself.

The left and their henchmen in the media have hyped the Covid-19 beyond all reason.  In that interview, Stahl wants to focus in on that as if it was the biggest problem right now.  It may well be perceived as the biggest issue out there, but it isn't really.  It has been hyped into the biggest issue out there.

The left-wing governors are treating with draconian measures that are stifling the economies of their states and that is what is causing a bit of a lag in the recovery.  Blue state unemployment is much higher than red states.

Trump didn't say that from what parts I heard.  Not making that point strongly may come back to bite Trump.  On the other hand, it is hard to argue with success.  It all depends on whether the strategy works well enough for him to win.  On the other hand, the part that I didn't watch may have had him making that point.  Just goes to show you something.  Maybe people have already made up their minds.  I made up mine a long time ago.
