Bari Weiss’s 60 Minutes edited its latest interview with Donald Trump to make the octogenarian’s responses appear much more sane than they actually were.
During one exchange between Trump and host Ross Douthat on the topic of Ukraine, the staff at 60 Minutes decided to trim several sections of Trump’s response that included false claims or total fabrications.
What’s wrong with that part?

He’s fucked Ukraine by withholding arms and money, he’s said russia bombing kindergartens is “fine”, and he wants to ‘end the war’ by giving his daddy Putin everything he wants.
Trump sold 39 million of javelins eight years ago and is now actively undermining their defense, stopping intel, slowing starlink, allowing civilian deaths and other war crimes to happen every single day. And did they even say Thank You?!?!?
As he said:
He is tough on Russia and Europe.
Tough on Russia by removing sanctions? By taking Putin’s side over our own intelligence agency? By constantly saying what a strong leader Putin is?
The US have to split China and Russia to be able to contain China. If the US can win Russia over, their war with China and Russia will be less bloody for them because then it’s only China. So they don’t burn all bridges. Also, less weapons to sell to Europe if the war is over.
I see you have a PhD in mental gymnastics
It’s very unlikely that Russia could decide the election with Facebook manipulation from the outside while the US could change the algorithm from inside.
Maybe I look twisted because your perception has been warped.
That’s what someone in a cult would say
Of course. But you can also assume that the elite has fed a bunch of lies to the masses to keep them in line.
I think I rightfully believe that the US are still delivering weapons, e.g. https://www.cnn.com/2026/10/30/politics/us-approves-potential-patriot-missile-sale-ukraine and the EU pays for it as the graphic above shows. If I would go by the votes I would have to doubt this.
It’s not that easy to be sure about the US-China relationship. Maybe they find a way to coexist. However, if the US wants to stay number one they have to stop China’s growth. With Russian resources, China can grow independent from any foreign influence.
What do you think is the US strategy in this situation?
So how is he tough on Russia again?
There’s no eminent conflict with Russia because Putin is pulling the strings with Trump, and even should we get a non-comprimised President and Congress in the near future, Russia is crushed financially and militarily.
China is a whole other problem, and certainly not one Trump has a grip on or even a strategy for.
Do you think that Biden or Harris would have started a direct war with Russia?
It is related. As long as China can rely on Russia, the US cannot isolate China with a naval blockade.
Trump is the strategy.
China grows faster than the US. They just have to wait to dominate the world. Which forces the US to interrupt them. Could they do it as a Democracy?
“As he said…”
While referring to Trump of all people in the comments of an article about how they cut out him saying a bunch of lies.
wtf man?
The US are delivering weapons and Europe is paying for them. There is no doubt about it. The article is saying that Trump is lying but the parts that were mentioned are true.
This is a 1984 double plus good situation. Among lies and disinformation, people don’t believe a fact about Trump that is true. It’s his fault and he deserves it, but society is lost if the majority has lost count and doesn’t understand what is happening.
