I reported on a preview of President Donald Trump's 60 Minutes interview with Norah O'Donnell that aired Sunday night. The first two clips gave little hope that CBS would change its approach. One of them was: “What are you doing as president to end the quarantine?” It's not up to Trump; it's up to the Democrats who are behind the government shutdown. O'Donnell also asked what Trump would do if China attacked Taiwan. The question seemed quite funny because he was not going to tell her how he would react and reveal our plans. He made it clear that China does not like this and this is the only way to answer this question.
The full interview has now been published.
My colleague Chase Jennings reported how Trump told O'Donnell about the successes of the first nine months.
The left will need 60 minutes to recover from what Trump told CBS' Norah O'Donnell
But Trump also coached O'Donnell a bit in several conversations where it didn't appear CBS News had changed its approach.
O'Donnell asked him about political retribution. She inquired about the prosecutions of former FBI Director James Comey, former National Security Adviser John Bolton and New York Attorney General Letitia James. She claimed it was “public figures” who “condemned” him. But Trump reminded her of something.
🚨HOLY SMOKES! President Trump gives up the microphone at 60 Minutes
CBS: James Comey, John Bolton, Letitia James indicted… is this political retribution?!

“You know what? Do you know who has been charged? The person you are looking at. I was charged and I was innocent,” Trump said.
She asked if he had directed the Justice Department to look into them.
“Not in any way, shape or form,” Trump said.
Where were the liberal media's questions about Trump being targeted while Democrats like Letitia James ran on a platform of attacking Trump?
This clip attracted a lot of attention. But he did trash O'Donnell in a subsequent video about the decline in crime in Washington, D.C., after he took action and sent in the National Guard. This is similar to how a prosecutor dismantles a witness. Anyone who doubts Trump's abilities should take a look at this. This is Trump taking a reporter to the dry cleaners.
“I worked too hard,” says CBS' Norah O'Donnell, rather than admit that D.C. streets have become safer under Trump. pic.twitter.com/T6CaTa6bxp

He talked about the changes in Washington and how you can now “walk down the street and meet your ten-year-old daughter in the park and she'll be fine.”
O'Donnell interjected: “In some parts of D.C., I live in D.C.”
Trump smiled, then leaned in: “So, tell me. How big a difference is D.C. now compared to a year ago? Right? You have to be honest with me.” He said people at the White House come up to him and thank him because he can now feel safe walking to work.
“You know that too. You live here, you know it too. Do you see the difference? Do you see the difference? he pressed.
She then replied, “I think I worked too much, I didn't go out that much.”
Wait, didn't she just assume that she would know if the little girl would be safe because she “lived in Washington?”
Trump then laughed, knowing he got it: “That's not a fair answer, you see the difference… Do you know what the difference is? Like day and night.” He joked that she didn't need to use the clip because he didn't want to embarrass her.
And that's the problem with media bias. But he caught her, and she knew it.
Editor's note: Schumer's completion is here. Instead of putting the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the Radical Democrats forced the government to shut down health care to illegal immigrants. They own it.
