Trumps abrupt end to CBS interview

Most people are talking about how Trump Abruptly ended the interview..

I actually think the whole interview is bizarre...

IMHO...Not all of the pistons are firing here...



Stephen Colbert Summed up the crazy well..

"Mr. President..If I came to the Oval Office and saw you sitting behind the desk, I'd cry too.."

And has anyone on ATS mentioned that Trump has invited the dictator of the Philippines to the WH? Or said it would be an "honor" to speak with the leader of North Korea?

Just checking to see how silent ATS has become...

While I'm not a Trump supporter, I fail to see how reaching out the olive branch of diplomacy to struggling nations is a bad thing.

Former presidents are praised for opening talks with enemies or troubled governments.

That was painful to watch, I won't lie. I truly think the whole "White House" versus "The Media" show is completely manufactured and both sides have some sort of agreement we don't know about (perhaps even an "unspoken" agreement). Just my 0.02

Who is the dictator of the Philippines????,,,


I know their current President was democratically voted in and currently has a 90+% approval rating... Has someone else gained power who I do not know about???..

That's been my thought as well.

The "media" is getting unprecedented views with this sensationalized presidency.

Me thinks the "media" loves this charged atmosphere, and Trump just loves the attention.

I'm glad he cut it off. The reporter pressed him 6 times to comment on a tweet he made one time without addressing Trump's argument at all. That isn't journalism.

Appreciate the response to my "post"..but that was more about how he praised the NK leader plus said it would be an honor to meet him than anything else..

Have you examined the OP video?

Haven't you heard, any leader who doesn't want open borders, hard drugs freely available for children so they can be 'cured' with more expensive drugs, fully legalised abortions, transgender bathrooms and free money for everyone who doesn't work (paid by those that do) is a dictator.

people needs to get over the fact we have him as our President! we have dealt with 26 years of clintons, bushes, and omg obama! we have went down hill, no down a mountain for soooo long now, President Trump is a family man he cares about his family and loves them, and he cares about this country! if people's eyes are too blind to see that, its the people's fault! this country starting having riots way before President Trump came into office, he has a mess to deal with in this country and others! there is nothing wrong with reaching out to leaders of all countries! GROW UP, GET OVER IT!

Agreed. The best way to deal with an annoying reporter trying to push an agenda instead of focusing on what people need to know about IS to cut them off and throw them out.

Who is the dictator of the Philippines????,,,

Since taking office on June 30, 2016, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte has launched an abusive “war on drugs” that has resulted in the deaths of more than 6,000 Filipinos to date, the vast majority poor urban slum dwellers. The Philippine National Police’s own data indicates that police killed at least 2,250 “suspected drug personalities” from July 2016 to January 2017, with an additional 3,600 alleged drug users and dealers killed by “unidentified gunmen.” Police Director-General Ronald dela Rosa has characterized the killings as proof of an “uncompromising” approach to drug crimes.

He has made it legal to execute "suspected" drug users or dealers on the spot..

So, not a dictator then.

The interviewer was clearly looking for fodder that he could pass around between him and his colleagues, and those who subscribe to them.

Ha, ha, love Trump for his wit, he gets everybody wrap around their panties and all in a bunch.

Trump plays them all.

Anybody that knows Trumps should now that he is sarcastic when he talks.

Love it.

I think their tactics for getting sound bites they can legally spin and push are now well known. I am seeing a lot of them called out for their antics, like the 'reporter' trying to spin a liberal yarn in the Spicer press briefing.

It should happen more often.

Ahem...Yes he thinks about his family like he thinks about his country...
