The Hill reports:
President Trump on Thursday posted his full interview with “60 Minutes” ahead of its scheduled air time in an attempt to undercut the news program after he bristled at questioning from journalist Lesley Stahl.
The president posted the nearly 40-minute sit down to his Facebook page with the caption: “Look at the bias, hatred and rudeness on behalf of 60 Minutes and CBS.”
“Tonight’s anchor, Kristen Welker, is far worse!” Trump added, referencing the NBC News anchor who will moderate the presidential debate in Nashville.
LESLEY STAHL: “You’re okay with some tough questions?”
TRUMP: “No, I’m not.”
STAHL: “You’re not okay with tough questions?”

Stahl pointed out that people can see for themselves that it’s not true when he says we have “turned the corner” and that it’s “disappearing.”
Trump: “That’s right, we have turned the corner.”

How the raw 60 Minutes tape posted by Trump begins:
Stahl: You ready for tough questions?
Trump: Just be fair.
Stahl: Last time you were like bring it on.
Trump: “No, I’m not looking for that.”
Stahl: “…But you’re OK with some tough questions?”
Trump: “No, I’m not.”— Daniel Dale (@ddale8) October 22, 2020
When Stahl pressed Trump about Covid-19 cases going up, Trump repeated his nonsense about how it’s because we’re doing more testing.
She didn’t accept the nonsense, pressing him repeatedly. He didn’t like this.

The thing about this interview is that Trump is just saying nonsense and Stahl is pointing out calmly that it is nonsense.
She is no more combative than, say, @jonathanvswan, whom Trump said did a good interview.
