Why Lesley Stahl's 60 Minutes Interview Is Raising Some Eyebrows

May 2024 ยท 2 minute read

Despite the president's attempt to highlight the inaccuracies in the interview, some social media users thought Lesley Stahl's performance was spot-on. Several claimed that the journalist presented a cool and collected front while President Trump became increasingly frustrated, culminating in his walking out of the interview. Others said she did a great job at demonstrating Trump's disconnect with suburban women.

"She did an amazing job," one Twitter user tweeted following the interview. "She gave to him [a] great opportunity to be the best, and what he did? He was evasive as always. If we had a real leader and communicator he would take that interview as a chance and the moment for his reelection. He would argue with knowledge. #VOTE."

Another social media user went on to share a clip from the special where Trump told Stahl "that's no way to talk" after she informed him she will be asking "tough" questions. "This was Trump's epic meltdown on 60 Minutes and it was even worse than reported. Trump literally ran away because he didn't like the questions," the person captioned the video. "This is why us suburban women can't stand him," another user responded. "He reminds us of all the men that talked down on us and bullied us throughout our lives. We are disgusted. Makes us appreciate the kindness and gentleness in dignified respectful men."

Still, others felt that Stahl was unfair to President Trump.
