Last night, Donald Trump unleashed another fiery attack on 60 Minutes, one of America’s longest-running and most respected news programs. As usual, his claims ranged from misleading to outright false. Let’s break it down.
-
“60 Minutes is Being Sued for Billions!” (By Trump Himself)
True—Trump is suing CBS for billions. But legal experts widely agree the lawsuit has no merit. The real question? Whether Paramount (CBS’s parent company) will settle to avoid the headache. Here’s hoping they stand their ground.

“They Did Two Major Hit Pieces on Trump!”
Reality check: 60 Minutes did zero stories on Trump. So what set him off?
“Story #1” (Ukraine): The show dared to interview President Zelenskyy about Ukraine’s war with Russia, and mentioned Trump’s past claim that Ukraine started the conflict (which, yes, he actually said). Hardly a “Trump story”, just a fact based alternative reality to what Trump selling.
“Story #2” (Greenland): The segment explored Greenland’s leadership and their lack of interest in becoming U.S. territory (remember that Trump idea?). Again, not about him, unless the truth counts as an attack.
- The Big Lie: “The 2020 Election Was Stolen!”
Four and a half years later, zero credible evidence supports this. Yet Trump keeps recycling the same debunked claims, and the MAGAnites keep buying it. Exhausting? Absolutely. Dangerous? Even more so.

The Real Threat: “CBS Should Lose Its License!”
Trump didn’t stop at whining, he escalated to threatening CBS’s broadcasting license, demanding they “pay a big price” for… reporting facts he dislikes. This is the playbook of autocrats: silence dissent, punish truth-tellers. FREEDOME OF THE PRESS is the cornerstone of democracy.
The Bottom Line:
Trump’s tantrum wasn’t about 60 Minutes, it was about his inability to handle journalism that doesn’t bow to his narrative. When facts feel like “attacks,” maybe the problem isn’t the media.
