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’ll jump in on this. I don’t think he’s “scared” I think he’s just “not competing” any more.

      I believe his whole strategy hinges on 2 things:

      1. Core trump voters need no convincing
      2. Election result fuckery

        He isnt messing with the votes, thats why he pushes for paper ballots, because its harder to artificially inflate the vote amount, it is easier with voting machines

        then why doesn’t he do the interview?

          Because he’s seen the resulting data from times he’s failed interviews, so is listening to his handlers’ recomendations.

      Well, he is clearly confident that he will win, he has to be, no one wants a president that is scared and has no confidence

        If he wasn’t scared he would do the interview. If he is afraid it would make him look bad he wouldn’t do the interview.

        That’s fear.
