      if it’s that he’s a pedophile yeah, it’s one of his greatest weaknesses.

      When CBS News booked [Donald Trump](https://inews.co.uk/topic/donald-trump?ico=in-line_link) for its flagship *60 Minutes* programme this weekend, it surely must have been expecting a combative interview.

      Trump would have just attended the White House correspondents’ dinner for the first time in either of his presidencies, and for the first time since 2011, when then-president Barack Obama [infamously made Trump the butt of one of his jokes](https://www.washingtonpost.com/style/2026/04/25/trump-obama-meyers-white-house-dinner/) in his speech at the dinner – a quip which it has been suggested fuelled the real estate mogul’s run for the presidency a few years later.

      There were high expectations for Trump’s return to the dinner, then. His speech was expected to be a chance for him to berate his media enemies while they had to sit in front of him and listen in silence.

      The show might have had the chance to tackle Trump on that, and his aggressive use of the powers of his office against the media, including appointing a chair of the Federal Communications Commission who has repeatedly threatened channels with regulatory action over their supposed bias against Trump, as well as lawsuits against several newspapers and TV networks – including CBS.

      Instead, *60 Minutes* had the first set-piece interview with the President since the [third attempt on his life in the past two years](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/last-attempt-trump-life-boosted-him-this-wont-4381320?ico=in-line_link), after a suspect was detained with weapons at a security checkpoint inside the Hilton Hotel in Washington DC.

      Once again, Trump was surprisingly sanguine about someone wanting to kill him, and a gunman getting relatively close to him during a public appearance. He seems to take potential assassination attempts as a compliment, remarking in the aftermath of the attack that people only tried to kill the most “impactful” presidents.

      Trump appeared relaxed when describing the shooting to *60 Minutes’* correspondent Norah O’Donnell. “I wasn’t worried, I understand life. We live in a crazy world,” he said, adding that he had been more curious than alarmed by the commotion as the suspected assailant was detained near the hotel ballroom.

      Perhaps after surviving a much nearer miss when he came under fire at a [campaign rally in Pennsylvania in July 2024](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/security-insiders-fear-threat-trump-lone-wolf-assassins-4381192?ico=in-line_link), and later being targeted by a would-be assassin on his Florida golf course, Trump is simply unfazed. After all, he claimed divine providence had saved him when a bullet grazed his ear in Pennsylvania.

      That relaxed Trump disappeared in a heartbeat, though, when O’Donnell gently probed the President over the [contents of a manifesto](https://inews.co.uk/news/gunfire-reports-at-white-house-correspondents-dinner-trump-evacuated-4381016?ico=in-line_link) believed to have been penned by the suspect behind the attack, which read: “I am no longer willing to permit a paedophile, rapist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.”

      O’Donnell read out the manifesto – which had been cited widely in pro-Trump media to suggest the attacker may have been radicalised by the media, or by Democrats – provoking a furious reaction from a President, who then remained irritable for the rest of the interview. “You’re horrible people,” he said. “I’m not a rapist. I didn’t rape anybody…I’m not a paedophile. You read that crap from some sick person?”

      A visibly rattled Trump later called O’Donnell “disgraceful” and told her that “you should be ashamed of yourself reading that because I’m not any of those things”.

      In reality, O’Donnell barely pressed Trump on any of these points. A New York court held in a [2023 civil case that Trump had sexually abused the writer E Jean Carroll](https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-65531098). He was caught on camera boasting about grabbing girls “by the pussy”. There is a long trail of documentary evidence detailing Trump’s enduring and [close friendship with Jeffrey Epstein](https://inews.co.uk/news/world/melania-trump-denies-relationship-jeffrey-epstein-4346951?ico=in-line_link) – including that some of Epstein’s victims were recruited from the President’s Mar-a-Lago country club.

      *60 Minutes*’ parent company, CBS News, was recently bought out by Trump allies Larry and David Ellison, who installed a new, friendlier to Trump editor-in-chief in the form of Bari Weiss. But the interview showed just how hard it is to please Trump in 2026 – the mere act of reading the manifesto and asking Trump to respond to it was enough to set off a temper tantrum from the most powerful man in the West.

      Trump might have shown that he doesn’t fear assassins, but he showed us his weaknesses at the same time. He is still all too aware that Epstein could bring down his voting coalition, and he is too angry and thin-skinned to respond to it with anything other than irritation, peevishness or fury.

      The President surrounds himself with sycophants, who flatter him and make sure he only sees the news they want him to see. Trump is so used to being cossetted that he can no longer handle even the softest of pushbacks.

      He knows that his links to Epstein have caused him unprecedented harm within the Maga ecosystem, now compounded by controversy over his actions in Iran. He wants his critics silenced.

      „In the shooter’s manifesto, he says he says he does not want our government associated with a rapist and pedophile…“

      „IM NOT A PEDOPHILE!“

      „Oh, you think he was referring to you?“

    8. Abject-Beginning-764 on

      you know your political campaign is going absolutely terribly when you have to go on national tv just to explicitly clarify that you aren’t a pedophile. completely unhinged timeline we are living in.

    10. Individual_Guava6359 on

      His greatest weakness has always been his glass ego. the manifesto didn’t even drop his name, but his narcissism literally couldn’t handle the thought of a stray insult floating around, so he just outed himself. prosecutors and lawyers have been exploiting this exact character flaw in depositions for years tbh.

    11. Silent-Improvement53 on

      „i’m not a pedophile“ says the guy who was besties with epstein for 15 years, bragged about walking in on teenage pageant dressing rooms, and literally wished ghislaine maxwell well on live television. okay buddy, whatever you say.

      Nothing screams pedophile like being outraged and angrily stating that you are not the pedophile

    16. J4jem on

      He views 16 year old girls that have been trafficked as being „of age“ and firmly believes this. You see, pedophiles do things to kids under 10 in his mind. And he has never raped anyone ever, because everyone wants him to do whatever he desires to them.

      This is the mental dissonance that a degenerate narcissist like him has.

      Leaders should be role models for our children. Not sexual predators or associate with such deviants.

      This illustrates a breakdown in society norms. Time for dynamic change in America. Elect moral leaders, not self-centered sociopaths or a political party that embrace/glorify such abhorrent behavior.

      The midterm election is so freaking critical for our nation. Will we survive till then?

      “The I’m not a pedophile shirt I’m wearing is raising a lot of questions my shirt already answers”

    21. sparkax on

      He’s a sociopathic genocidal pedophile. There is no more debating or arguing those facts, they are proven true every day he continues to have a heart beat through his rotting sack of meat that is his 80 year old human body!!!!

      „I’m not a paedophile… I’m not a rapist… I’m not a crook… I am noooot… Oh, hi Jeff.”

    23. indigocherry on

      We know the rape and pdf accusations are true because he sues for everything and isn’t suing everyone saying these things. Perhaps because of discovery.

      „I did not have sexual relations with that child, jane doe number 1 through 45.“

    25. myrmadon8 on

      I found it interesting that he spoke loudly and clearly throughout the interview, but when say “I’m not a rapist,” and “I’m not a pedophile” he hunched forward a bit more and almost whispered it. I sensed embarrassment

      O’Donnell: “In [the suspected shooter’s] manifesto, he wrote that ‘I’m no longer willing to permit a p*dophile, r*pist, and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’ What’s your reaction?”

      Trump: “I was waiting for you to read that because I knew you would because you’re horrible people. I’m not a r*pist. I didn’t r*pe anybody. I’m not a p*dophile. Excuse me. You read that crap from a sick person. I was totally exonerated. You should be ashamed of yourself, reading that. You’re a disgrace.”

      O’Donnell: **“Oh, do you think he was referring to you?”**

      The fact that 77 million fucking idiots still stick up for this criminal will never stop being mind boggingly stupid to me

      I think his greatest weakness is his assumption of entitlement. History has shown he’s always been an insecure & ignorant bully who feels the world owes him. Everything else–the rapes, the pedophilia, the grift, the cruelty, etc–is just an extension of him feeling entitled to ruin lives for his own narcissistic, sociopathic benefit.
