Ross Douthat presses Trump in '60 Minutes' interview

In his 60 Minutes interview, Ross Douthat asked Trump about UFOs, religion and death. He did not ask a single question about Trump's efforts to undermine free and fair elections or his incessant lies about them. Support pro-democracy media. Subscribe to Democracy Docket. demdock.com/4w6emld

Saw a couple of clips from that Douthat interview, was curious if there was any there there, looking at the transcript, it's like all these followed by blocks of Trump rambling www.cbsnews.com/news/read-th...

Idk man when even ross fucking douthat is landing haymakers on trump i feel like something has shifted in the nations humors

So wait, I haven’t seen the 60 Minutes interview, did Trump really say that he’s gotten fabulously rich during his presidency so why are people complaining about the economy?

I think instead of deftly provoking the president into rambling like a madman for an hour, Ross Douthat should have given an Aaron Sorkin-esque speech that would have made Trump resign on the spot and beg forgiveness for his crimes against the Constitution

I'm extremely critical of Bari Weiss and I think Ross Douthat is an awful columnist but, and maybe this is a hot/unpopular take, he is very good at interviewing modern powerful conservatives and it's a good public service that he gets these kinds of answers out of them.

I sort of appreciated Ross Douthat showing the faith community squarely that Trump doesn’t believe in God.

I was thinking this too when I saw the clip, this is a question you would ask the President on "The 700 Club" not on 60 Minutes

I could watch Ross Douthat talk to Donald Trump or I could see how many Tums Extra Strength tablets it would take to put me in the hospital

The best thread to read about that viral 60 minutes clip re: Trump’s net worth tonight… Keep clicking through to the end! (I wish Bluesky would automatically display longer threads like this)

Trump confronted during 60 minutes interview about the cryptocurrency corruption scheme that has made Trump and his family BILLIONS.🤬🤬🤬

Exactly….. on 60 minutes Trump said deportation was “too tough”…. He lost his Republican Party… there will be consequences. Bring these people to me says the snake oil salesman 🐍

Ross Douthat did a good and much more hard hitting interview with the President in his first big 60 Minutes opportunity than anyone on Bluesky expected. And obviously the problem is Douthat, not the mad king. And every Bluesky power user would have done it better of course

Imagine getting nailed to the wall by Ross Douthat. It’s like losing a chess game to a poodle.

The 60 Minutes interview with Trump is fascinating in the sense that Bari Weiss and co decided to take a shit on the guy's head a few days after that historic midterm loss. It's a surprisingly hard-hitting and adept interview after years of kid glove treatment. Interesting.
