Did anybody else watch Trump on 60 Minutes?

I can't help but think he is in way over his head. I hope he hires the right people to help him. He did backtrack and lessen his language on a few specific campaign pledges including hiring that prosecutor to jail HRC. But, he also said a couple things that Lesley Stahl should have followed up on. For instance on abortion he said it "could to back to the States to decide" yet, when asked if he would change the ruling on Gay Marriage he said "the court has spoken so it wont change". Didn't the court speak with Roe v Wade too?

Ivanka also came out and said that there are some social issues that are true and dear to her heart. I am sure she will have her father's ear and hopefully help keep him in line.

Maintaining his Twitter acct when he becomes President though? Ummmm....not a good idea. Also, isn't that kinda similar to personal email and public servers etc. ?

He has a long way to go to heal and unite the people as he chose angry divisive language to set his campaign tone. He may never heal the wounds he created but, I will wait with bated breath and hope he does succeed for the good of our country and its people.

Trump supports the SCOTUS on the same-sex marriage ruling.

Good thing u watched it with an open mind ... ...

He will hire the right people to help him ... he surrounds himself with the best and brightest with great work ethics ... he wil make u proud ... when the RESULTS come in ... no way will you or your lib buds like his folks at first ....

As for the witch, he said he didn't want to hurt them .. she was smart and strong .. he also said he'd give a better answer the next time he was on her show ...

The best part of ya'all ... Hi Swish .. *L* ...

If he would have come out and said ... oh,ya i'm coming after her .. ya'all would be saying that this is no way to unite the country and he's playing into the fear mongering and its not presidential .. with ya'all, there is no right answer for him ...

Your honestly trying to compare him tweeting to the Witch using her personal e-mail and private servers to hide all the Foundation stuff and then being so lazy she send top secret info across it??? ..

WOW ... see, what i mean about no right answers ... there's no way u can actually think what u just said has any basis in reality to it at all ..

Well OK .. if he starts tweeting out the location and names of our spies in the kremlin or libya .. then we can go there .. INCREDIBLE that u could even say that ..

Where is oBUMa or the Witch in trying to heal and unite? .. the SILENCE is DEAFENING! ..

I loved the interview .. especially the part where he said .. i won't tell u a thing about how i wil destroy ISIS ... COMMON SENSE dictates that ..

Also when she said .. but u said u knew more than the generals .. PERFECT RESPONSE ... maybe i do, we've been over there for 15 years, if they knew what they were doing we'd of been out of there ALONG ASS TIME AGO!!!

Ya'all are going to be pleasantly surprised at the RESULTS ... getting to them will be an entirely different story ...

Ya'all will be kicking and screaming and calling him every name in the book on the way there .. bout when its all said and done ..

You'll be thanking him ..

He's no where near the igor the press has made him out to be .. and over time u will see that ..

YOUR WELCOME!!!

Unfortunately, the press and the left will continue to demonize him no matter what he says. After all, they did a bunch of it during the election over nothing, why would the stop now?

He will take no salary. (or the very least he legally can)

When asked about this election potentially hurting his "brand", he said that he doesn't care, and that fixing the nation's problems are more important.

Did any one see that he is bringing in Reince Priebus in as chief of staff? Great choice. He has the ability to get people pulling in the same direction.I think that he will be a huge help for Trump.

I think that Trump's 1st 100 days are going to be extremely productive.

He also has Bannon as chief executive, ya know, the far right, alt -right pusher.

I loved how you magically failed to mention that.

Classic Swish ... POT meet KETTLE ... *LOL* ..

Thats a very tough pill to swallow .... trump will take heat for that as well he should ...

Trump knew he was going to take heat for it ... if he knew he was going to take major league heat for it (not unjustified for a change ... u should actually be thanking him for finally giving your BS one legite thing to WHINE and CRY about) he must think he will be a great fit for the position ...

One thing Trump has made abundantly clear in his business life and this campaign, he will put people in the right spots and if there no longer the right fit .. he will act quickly and without hesitation to change things up ..

Do i like it .. hell no ... let's see how it pans out ...

Great points Y-Town ...

One thing no one really talked about since i been hangin round these parts ...

What personal sacrifice he's made ... both financially and with his time ...

Pot meet kettle?

How on earth does that apply? Are you saying I supported a version of Bannon?

You have proof?

Bannon was on his campaign staff so keeping him only makes sense in that he will want to keep his message. Hiring Reince makes sense cause he will need the same GOP establishment he derided to help get his agenda through.

I see it as having, in his mind, the best of both worlds. He will, like every President before him, have to negotiate and compromise with his party first, and then maybe he will reach across the aisle.


I'm no Trump fan but God as my witness I hope he makes America better and makes good on looking out for the little guy.

I hope the guy succeeds in ONLY his economic plan. I truely hope it works, even though trickle down economics is..well...yea.

His social stances is what I have a big ass problem with. And hiring Bannon is a huge negative.

People on this board, and around the country, talks all the time about how the media is so divisive and such.

Well, by you guys logic, hiring Bannon should be a huge red flag, as he is part of that problem.

I'll admit I don't know too much about Bannon and his ideological circles. I don't follow that crowd.


On a side note, I think the Democrats really need to rethink their gameplan and they better start taking back the state legislatures before the 2020 census or redistricting will again be in the hands of the GOP.

WOW ... thats your take away ... i know your not near as smart as u think u are ... i'm wondering if your as smart as i think u are ..

U never tell the entire story .. EVER .... only what fits your agenda .. sometimes u leave out 80% of the story and defend the 20% to the death .. *L* ...

Hence .. pot meet kettle when u called Y-Town out for leaving Bannon out ..

Man, what?

We start drinking at 8am on Monday now? What the hell are you talking about?

Please explain to me what u mean by his social stances? ... just want to make sure I understand what u mean before i adress it ..

I bet everyone else on here knows what i mean .. here we go with the Alinsky BS ..

DEFLECT .. INSULT ... DEFLECT .. INSULT ...

I don't agree with his abortion stance, or his stance on Muslims.

Is that the official GOP motto?

But you said roe V wade would NEVER be overturned. I told ya. Don't count your chickens before they are aborted

We will see.

Yep and just like now one of us will be happy, and one of us won't

I'm not even upset at trump winning, especially with the flip flopping he's done so far.

I'm upset at these people STILL protesting. I'm glad in the 60 minutes joint that trump addressed the racial harassment some of his supporters have been doing.

That being said, the people still protesting trump winning really need to get over it. I'm really tired of seeing this on the news.

Depends on what he does with it. If he reveals state secrets, it's a no no.

If it's to stay in touch with his followers, I don't see a big issue.

What concerns me more, or should I say should concern his followers and supporters more is the fact that he seems to be back peddling on some issues he made a big deal out of during his campaign.

Hillary prosecution, Gay Marriage and he's already backed off a wall on the Mexican border a little. (actually, he's adjusted it a bit to part wall and part fence and I suspect he'll drop it altogether in time) And I think it's safe to say Mexico won't pay for it. Another one of those things that was just stupid that people bought into hook, line and sinker.

Not to mention already backing off of the Repeal and Replacement of Obamacare. Now he's saying he may keep some of it.

Then Term Limits....LOL Mitch McConnell already said no way to that. This is one of the ideas I really liked by the way. The whole draining of the swamp thing made me happy.

For me, I see holes in his game, but there is plenty of time for him to get back on track.. We'll see I guess.

Daman, you of all people should know that nobody just comes in and starts making sudden changes, heck he's not even in charge yet, LOL and some are already complaining. How's he gonna change anything until he's in charge? He, like O'bummer before can't just run slip shod on how they think it should be. He knows people are watching and some are upset...You do what what you have to do, gentle some at a time, it will happen, just not all at once, a little at a time, nothing wrong with that. Let it play out over 4 years.

STOP... Did you not see what I said in the final sentence?

Of course I know it's not going to happen overnight... I'm totally aware.

But if you back off your campaign promises before you are sworn in, what does that say..

AS OF TODAY, he's back peddling on some issues. Will that change, on some, I hope it does, on others, we'll just have to see.

And as for some already complaining, Geez what a short memory some folks have. Obama wasn't sworn in yet and Republicans were already saying he was DOA. So don't give me that garbage. At least I'm calling it like it is... he has time to fix his missteps from the last week... we'll see if he does or if he continues to lean left...

Something to keep in mind GM. Everything in the government is red. If the country isn't "fixed" and people don't have their manual labor jobs back, how quick do you think people will flip? Heck, let's say he does bring some of those jobs back, if Trump goes extreme right, what do you expect the response from the left to be in 4 years?

When you run a populist campaign and have full control of all 3 branches, you better deliver or it will backfire very quickly.

Yep they spilled their own milk, now they want to sit and cry about it instead of just STFU and cleaning it up.

1st off this country is so screwed up that anybody short of God himself is not going to fix it in 4 years. IMO He has to deliver on manual labor jobs increasing in this country over the next 4 years. Does it have to be what it was in the 40's 50's and 60's NO but it has to be far better than it is today. If Trump goes extreme right and it works I expect the left to STFU and go with the program. If he goes extreme right and our economy is no better than it is today I expect them to tar and feather him.



Agreed 110 percent buddy

CBS criticized for holding Trump clip demanding an end to any violence in his name
By Leora Arnowitz Published November 14, 2016 FoxNews.com

On Friday, CBS’ Lesley Stahl sat down with President-elect Donald Trump for a wide-ranging interview that covered myriad topics following his historic election win. The “60 Minutes” interview aired on Sunday, and clips promoting the exclusive were shared by CBS ahead of the program.

Some viewers, however, are questioning why CBS did not immediately post a clip in which Trump told any of his supporters who are reportedly harassing minorities to “stop it!”

Stahl told Trump some of his supporters are allegedly “harassing Latinos, Muslims.” Trump replied, “I am so saddened to hear that and I say stop it. If it helps, I will say this, and I will say right to the camera: stop it!”

Some voices in the Twitterverse, however, defended the network, saying Trump could have spoken out about the issue at any point.

Ahead of Sunday’s “60 Minutes” episode, the network shared a clip that focused on Trump's comments about ObamaCare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act.

CBS told FOX411 regarding the criticism: "This interview was full of newsworthy material and we released a quote on the issue that affects millions of Americans and that was his statement on ObamaCare."

"60 Minutes" also tweeted at least two other clips ahead of Sunday's airing. The clips, which were shared on Twitter, focused on Trump's conversations with Hillary and Bill Clinton after the election.

True...The correct and legal way to protest a Trump victory is in a court of law.

With 75 open lawsuits involving Trump, Trump faces significant open litigation tied to his businesses: angry members at his Jupiter, Fla. golf course say they were cheated out of refunds on their dues and a former employee at the same club claims she was fired after reporting sexual harassment. There’s a fraud case brought by Trump University students who say the mogul’s company ripped them off for tens of thousands in tuition for a sham real estate course.

It should be relatively easy to come up with a few impeachable crimes or patiently wait for Trump to commit more.

Hoping that somebody gets impeached is a bit low.

I do agree that he has a ton of issues, the biggest one being trump U fraud case. His lawyers has asked that the trial be pushed back until after he's sworn in.

That seems fishy.

However, the people elected him, so as of right now, anything that happens like that isn't good for the nation, and is gonna cause even more divide than what we already have.

Besides, it's a GOP dominant congress. Most likely, no one is gonna try and do that.

I think that the Trump administration has to start reversing the outflow of factory and similar jobs. He does not have to get them back to 1950's levels ..... but there must be a clear growth in that area. The way he spoke so strongly on this topic means that he has to show results.

I wasn't hoping. I was pointing out if protesters really wanted to protest the Trump victory, they should take to the courts like Trump would have if he lost, not rioting in the streets.

What a bunch of crap!

Trump can simply pardon himself as he is backed by his bro's in the House and Senate.

Ah, owning this Nation feels so good.

There will soon be a waste basket on the steps of the Capital for the left to file their complaints.

Pardon himself?

Ok. And you're cool with that?

Pfft, GM, did you just pass gas?

What are they going to sue for?

Clinton conceded the election. What standing would the protesters have for a lawsuit?

If these protesters were smart, they would wait for Trump to start doing things, and look for everything they could "run against" in the Congressional and Presidential elections. Acting as they have further alienates them from the great middle of the country, and pushes people in the middle away from their cause.

Trump's inexperience and civic ignorance is shown with his threat to put hefty taxes on countries like China and Mexico for goods coming into the country. Last time we tried that in 1930 it threw us deeper into the great depression.

President Obama is on television doing what he does best, talk.

The thing he can't come to grips with is the fact Trumps head is orange for a reason, it is like a giant eraser, about to wipe out his 8 year legacy.

I think we have a far better chance of seeing your ass locked up before we see Trumps.
