CBS News said Tuesday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” for its election special, which will go forward next Monday with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris alone.
Television’s top-rated news program regularly invites the two presidential contenders for separate interviews that air back-to-back on a show near the election. This year, it is scheduled for Monday instead of its usual Sunday time slot.
Asked for comment, the former president’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, “Fake news,” adding that there were discussions but nothing was ever locked in.
Maybe this is noteworthy? I don’t know, I think trump is pathetic for an endless list of reasons, but at the same time I think that something that isn’t happening is literally the opposite of news.
Like, if the election came and went, and trump never did this interview with 60 minutes, who would have noticed, especially amongst his whole circus?
