This post revives a months-old grievance against 60 Minutes during historically low 100-day approval ratings, functioning as displacement from current political vulnerability. Trump begins with a specific legal claim about interview editing, then escalates through rage generalization to threaten the New York Times with tortious interference liability for merely reporting on the lawsuit. This scope creep represents a clinically significant pattern of narcissistic rage expansion. The pseudo-legal register (Federal Communications System for FCC, tortious interference) lends surface authority while emotional content reveals retaliatory motive. The most concerning feature is normalization of presidential legal threats against journalism. By framing standard editorial decisions as criminal fraud and press coverage as actionable interference, Trump constructs a framework where any unfavorable media treatment becomes legally punishable. The timing amid historically low approval ratings suggests supply-seeking through righteous indignation when other narcissistic supply sources are diminished. Defense mechanisms include rationalization (retaliation as accountability), projection (accusing media of fraud), displacement (old grievance for current wounds), and splitting (all-bad media vs. victimized people). The gaslighting dimension is pronounced: CBS acknowledged standard editing practices, which Trump reframes as admittance to crime.

Trump marked his 100th day in office with a light posting day that split neatly in two halves. The morning featured defensive blame-shifting -- insisting the stock market decline was Biden's fault and had nothing to do with tariffs -- followed by a heated revival of his CBS lawsuit grievance that ex...

The case we have against 60 Minutes, CBS, and Paramount is a true WINNER. They cheated and defrauded the American People at levels never seen before in the Political Arena. Kamala Harris, during Early Voting and, immediately before Election Day, was asked a question, and gave an answer, that was so bad and incompetent that it would have cost her many of the Votes that she ended up getting. It was a disastrous answer! 60 Minutes and its corporate parents, in order that this not have a negative impact on her, removed and deleted Kamalaâs entire answer, every word of it, and replaced it with a response that she gave later on to an entirely different question. The new answer was not good, but it didnât show Gross Incompetence like the one that was removed by 60 Minutes. In other words, 60 Minutes perpetrated a Giant FRAUD against the American People, the Federal Elections Commission, and the Federal Communications System. Despite all of the above, and Paramountâs/CBSâ/60 Minutesâ admittance to this crime and, with other similar corrupt removals of answers to questions, the Failing New York Times, which is Fake News both in writing and polling, claims that âpeopleâ said that the case is baseless. They donât mean that, they just have a non curable case of TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME, possibly to the point where the Timesâ interjection makes them liable for tortious interference, including in Elections, which we are intently studying. The bottom line is that what 60 Minutes and its corporate owners have committed is one of the most egregious illegalities in Broadcast History. Nothing like this, the illegal creation of an answer for a Presidential Candidate, has ever been done before, they have to pay a price for it, and the Times should also be on the hook for their likely unlawful behavior. It is vital to hold these Liars and Fraudsters accountable!
