On Sunday, 10/14/18, Trump gave an interview to 60 Minute’s Lesley Stahl. I was going to include the highlights in my weekly news recap, but the recap was getting too long as it was, and is this really news? Here are the highlights:

1. When talking about whether he really needed to mock Christine Blasey Ford, he says he thinks he treated Blasey Ford with respect. Remember that he had his whole crowd laughing and jeering at her, and she did say that the one thing that is stuck in her memory is how her attackers laughed about it.
2. When Stahl pushed Trump on whether he said Blasey Ford lied, Trump says “I’m not gonna get into it because we won. It doesn’t matter. We won.” Then he goes on to say that “we won – have you seen the polls?”
3. Stahl pushes him on climate change after he says he doesn’t think it’s a hoax (in 2016, it was a Chinese hoax, remember?). But he still won’t give in to science.
4. Trump says he wouldn’t take the potential arms sale to Saudi Arabia off the table if we find out they were behind the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Because we won it. Everyone else wanted it, and we won it.
5. Trumps says the day before he came into office, we were going to war with North Korea. Just an FYI, we weren’t.
6. Trump says the EU was formed to take advantage of the U.S. on trade. Wow. We’re not the center of everybody’s universe. He also calls them hostile. Our allies.
7. Trump refuses to say that NATO has helped keep the peace for 70 years. He also says that General Mattis never told him that the reason for NATO and our alliances is to prevent World War III. He goes on to say that he knows more than Mattis about this.
8. Trump agrees that Russia meddled in our elections, but says China did, too.
9. Trump refuses to pledge to not interfere with or shut down Mueller’s investigation.
10. When Stahl asks him if there’s anything he’s said that he regrets, he says his only regret is that the press treats him so badly.
11. He refuses to say that family separation was a bad idea and deflects blame to Obama. He also won’t say whether or not he’ll start it up again. Just FYI, this wasn’t done under Obama’s administration.
12. Trump blames the country’s divisiveness on Obama, and says he sees the country uniting. Huh? When asked why he doesn’t try to bring us together and heal the nation, he says that Hillary made a really nasty comment.
13. And finally, because it’s all about winning, Trump says, “Lesley, it’s okay. In the meantime, I’m president–and you’re not.”
