I don’t mind a few random unscripted interviews like this, where we find out what Trump is actually thinking about the topics of the day in a way that provides a more broad framing than just what Fox News is covering on a given day.

Yes, you could shut down every interview with Trump and become a hero to many by confronting him about every lie he tells, getting him mad, and watching him walk away. But, when he’s holed up like this, it seems beneficial to find out what he’s actually thinking about.

Would I have handled every question how
@nytmike did? No. But, I think he got us a lot of information — out of what sounds like was a totally unprepped interview that happened on basically no notice. So, kudos to him.45 replies 59 retweets 465 likesShow this thread -
I get that people wanted more follow-up (I’m reading the replies), and so would have I. But (1) this isn’t a complete transcript, and (2) I think it’s just wrong to call this stenography. You might not like his way of dancing, but it was a dance. He did push on some things.

@Amy_Siskind I’m grateful that the NYT quickly provides a(n at least partial) transcript when these happen. That’s a good thing for transparency, and I think Amy is exactly wrong in criticizing it.2 replies 0 retweets 3 likes -

Writing a transcript isn’t journalism. That’s sharing a transcript.

Yes, a transcript is a transcript. It’s also transparency, and it’s abhorrent that Amy would oppose that.

This was not that. You don’t like that he didn’t push back enough, but that doesn’t make his choice of questions and follow-ups stenography. I’m sorry you don’t like his interview choices, but that doesn’t transform it into stenography.
