WASHINGTON, DC: Donald Trump lashed out at CBS with all the fury of a man who’d just been roasted on national TV. The president absolutely lost it over a pair of ’60 Minutes’ segments that aired on Sunday, April 13.
In a no-holds-barred rant that dropped late Sunday, Trump accused the network of pushing blatant political bias and demanded they be punished. “They are not a ‘News Show,’ but a dishonest Political Operative simply disguised as ‘News,’ and must be responsible for what they have done, and are doing,” he declared on Truth Social.
“CBS is out of control, at levels never seen before, and they should pay a big price for this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!” he added, Raw Story reported.
Volodymyr Zelensky’s clapback and Donald Trump’s ‘rigged’ war blame game
One part of Sunday’s ’60 Minutes’ featured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky speaking to correspondent Scott Pelley on the site of a Russian attack that reportedly left nine children dead.
Zelensky said he has “100 percent” hatred for Russian leader Vladimir Putin — and invited Trump to Ukraine so he could see the war’s devastation with his own eyes.
Pelley also brought up Trump’s bold campaign promise to end the war in Ukraine “immediately” — before even taking office — and noted that clearly didn’t happen.
Zelensky was also asked about the American leader’s claims that Ukraine started the war and that Zelensky is a “dictator.” He responded, “I believe, sadly, Russian narratives are prevailing in the US.”
Trump wasn’t having any of it. In a follow-up post, he doubled down, saying the war in Ukraine “would never have happened if the 2020 Election had not been RIGGED, in other words, if I were President.”
