CBS News says Donald Trump has declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” that was scheduled to air next Monday.

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.

    I’m concerned about this new strategy of keeping Trump under wraps. He is his own worst enemy, and now instead of hearing it straight from the horses mouth, they’re keeping him sheltered and filtered through only the most loyal media outlets. Leaving his mob to use their imagination, which will be exactly what they wish to see and hear. It’s shrewd in an idiotic way. I can only hope that Trunp will become impatient with being handled and show his true colors at least a few nore times.

      I’m concerned about how, whether Trump participates and makes a fool of himself or drops out like the coward he is, the headlines will still all be about Trump. This is exactly the media approach that got him elected first time.

      If the dem party keeps up the replaying of his stupid shit over and over they can keep that on folks’ minds. Not the best but it always works for the republicans.
