Everyone’s talking abut Donald Trump’s interview with CBS News’s 60 Minutes, which is due to air on Sunday night, mainly because Trump has spent so long complaining about it.

Here’s the hugely entertaining moment the so-called president cut short the chat, complaining about ‘tough questions’ and stuff like that.

This is the ‘tough questions’ bit Trump was so angry about.

LESLEY STAHL: “You’re okay with some tough questions?”

TRUMP: “No, I’m not.”

STAHL: “You’re not okay with tough questions?”

He unintentionally admits to only agreeing to interviews when he’s confident there will be no tough questions! Sad. https://t.co/J8FhymKSCK

Walking out of interviews is Trump’s only form of exercise. https://t.co/ks5cE20Ulm

I'm not sure of the full science, but I think this is filed under "whiny prick"? https://t.co/kNqkO7EVo8

I love that Trump stormed out of an interview where the tough questions include, what's your plan for the second term?

Can we please retire forever the myth of Trump as "alpha male?" This is the equivalent of a petulant child taking his ball and going home. https://t.co/RzlzrgYyTB

To conclude …

His whole image is based on projecting strength but the truth is he's a pathetic little whiner https://t.co/PoEoTv64v2

And this.

Stahl: "You're OK with some tough questions?"

Trump: "No, I'm not."

That basically sums it up.
