On 03 Nov 2025, Joseph Pereira said the following...
In a 60 Minutes interview with Trump, Trump spouted so much nonsense
that CBS had to make extensive edits to keep it presentable. Trump successfully sued the network, alleging they had edited the interview
with Kamala Harris. The interview revealed Trump was completely out of touch with reality.
I take issue w/ your fake narrative.
1. You indicated that Trump successfully sued the network.
2. If he successfully accomplished this and WON 16 Million.
3. Then nothing is alleged.
You're the one who is out of touch with reality.
Here are facts.

The lawsuit arose from an alleged deceptive editing of a 60 Minutes interview with Kamala Harris.

According to Paramount, the $16 million payment was not paid directly to Trump or his co-plaintiff; instead, the funds were designated for his future presidential library and for legal fees.

Trump has claimed there will be additional value (about $20 million more in advertising/PSAs) via future arrangements, bringing his claimed total to about
$36 million
All of this has been seen before the classic gotcha journalism dance where the reporter thinks that they are being crafty; toughing out lefty - liberal curve ball type of questions and the President Trump knocking everyone of them out of the park. Good Job Mr. President
