Summary

60 Minutes plans to enrage Donald Trump Sunday with an episode bashing his intimidation efforts—despite being in a legal battle with the president themselves.

“Now in the White House, Trump is using executive orders to target some of the biggest law firms in the country that he accuses of ‘weaponizing’ the justice system against him.”

The drama between Donald Trump and CBS has heated up in recent weeks after the show’s executive producer, Bill Owens, abruptly quit after 37 years, accusing CBS executives of interfering with the program and pandering to Trump amid his $20 billion lawsuit.

CBS and Trump’s settlement discussions have taken place as Paramount Global seeks the president’s approval of its merger with Skydance, an American media production company.

My sister-in-law, the chillest and least likely person I know to ever say this, actually wished death on Trump the other day. He's done so much global damage, and it hasn't even been a year.

He's an actual scourge.

Yep. Fuck every single person who ever told us that Trump wasn't as bad as others. Even if technically hasn't done as wrong as others, the trend he's setting in motion is by far the worst thing to have happened in world history if it continues

It’s a common thing. My mother and sister who always preach non violence, have lately been saying how someone needs to raise money to have cult 47 pewpewed.

Every time I see him making a public speech, I keep my fingers crossed, and wish for his head to explode from a high caliber bullet.

Same with all of his henchmen.

In terms of total global damage, I'm not sure if Trump can hold a candle to Putin.

Though the two are cut from the same cloth.

Russia doesn't have nearly as much influence over global markets as the US.

Edit: But Putin has had a much longer political career and has probably set things into motion that we won't ever be able to confirm his involvement in. So you might be right.
