The most INSANE thing Trump said on 60 Minutes

Trump sat down with 60 Minutes correspondent Ross Douthat after Republicans lost more than 40 House seats and at least seven Senate seats.

Douthat brought up the Forbes estimate that Trump’s net worth has gone up $3 billion since he returned to office. Trump had an explanation ready.

“Well, so did everyone,” he said.

Douthat pointed out that his own net worth hadn’t gone up $3 billion.

“Well, you should’ve had stock.”

When Douthat asked why he doesn’t just divest, Trump wanted to know “how do you divest from cash?”

Then Douthat brought up World Liberty Financial, the crypto company Trump co-owns while his son helps run it. He asked how Trump would react if Joe Biden were part owner of a company with “all of these investments from the Middle East.” Trump explained what makes him different.

“Because I know nothing about it.”

“I devote almost no time to my net worth. I don’t care,” he added.

Douthat also asked whether he hopes to go to heaven. “I hope so. I don’t want to go to hell,” Trump said.

And whether he can forgive his enemies.

“I probably cannot do that, no, because I do hate some of my enemies and always will.”

In the same interview, Trump admitted his deportation policy went too far for voters.

“So I think it was too tough,” he said.

He still graded himself generously. “I think I got an A+ for closing up the border,” he said.

He told Douthat he would “love to do something on immigration” with congressional Democrats.

He even floated some kind of legal status for immigrants working as landscapers and hotel maids. “I think that’s something that’s actually doable,” he said.

He taped all of this Friday. Right after, he named Stephen Miller, the man who built the deportation machine, as his new White House chief of staff.

Miller starts today.

House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries said on ABC’s This Week Sunday that he’s “a hard yes on the Hegseth resolution.”

“Pete Hegseth has got to go,” he said.

The resolution comes from a Republican. Outgoing Rep. Thomas Massie told ABC he’ll reintroduce it as early as Monday. It’s privileged, so House leaders have to schedule a vote within two legislative days.

It has eight articles of impeachment, including violating the War Powers Resolution of 1973.

Jeffries said Democrats will “have that conversation” Tuesday morning, when the House returns for the first time since the midterms. “But I believe there will be incredibly strong support for that resolution,” he said.

Hegseth called them “sham articles of impeachment” in a video.

Trump defended him to reporters Sunday. “I mean he’s guilty of two things, basically winning two wars,” he said.

Then he made the case for impeachment himself.

“And what are we going to do with one of the guys that was most responsible for the war, we want to impeach him.”

Yes. That’s the idea.

On Saturday, Trump ordered the Justice Department to investigate Democrats for what he called “extortion,” over their plans to investigate his administration.

On Sunday, Attorney General Todd Blanche went on CNN’s State of the Union and didn’t back away from it.

“So are you saying that you are going to investigate them?” Dana Bash asked. “And what you just described, is there a crime?”

“It depends on what’s said. So yes, there could be,” Blanche said.

“I’m not saying that necessarily that every case is going to be prosecuted,” he added, which is a strange thing to have to clarify.

Pressed on whether this is really his job, he said, “Wait, do I see it as my job? The Constitution sees it as my job.”

He also had a message for the House members about to take over the committees that do oversight.

“I would be very worried if I was a member on that committee.”

The incoming Oversight chair, Rep. Robert Garcia, has already given Trumpworld his advice. “Lawyer up.”

Six days after the election, Mississippi’s Senate race still hasn’t been called.

Democrat Scott Colom leads Republican Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith by 2,574 votes, 467,930 to 465,356, in the AP count. Voters who cast affidavit ballots over an ID issue have until Tuesday to show identification, and counties must certify by Nov. 13.

If Colom holds on, he’ll be the first Black senator from Mississippi since Reconstruction.

Republicans saw this coming. Mississippi GOP chair Mike Hurst, who is also the RNC’s general counsel, demanded that officials “segregate and preserve” provisional ballots and said the party would “be ready to act swiftly”.

“This desperate stunt from national Republicans is what you do when you know you’re about to lose a race,” Colom’s campaign said.

Even Newt Gingrich knows what went wrong. On Fox, he pointed to Hyde-Smith’s advice that people priced out of beef should find cheaper protein.

“We’re on the verge of losing a seat in Mississippi with a senator who explained that there are less expensive ways to get protein,” he said. “Now, if you’re an average, everyday American in Mississippi, you want to barbecue or grill something and you’re being told, you should go and get tofu?”

We’re rooting for Colom, and for every one of those ballots to get counted.

Saturday Night Live opened with James Austin Johnson’s Trump lamenting the blue tsunami. Then the actual senator-elect from Texas walked on.

“Hi, I’m James Talarico, the guy who’s been texting you every day asking for $5,” he said.

“It’s clear people want something new. They want something different,” he said. “I’m talking, of course, about SNL’s cold opens.”

“How many of these Trump freezes are they gonna do?”

He even extended a hand. “But I think, Mr. President, if we can work together, we can make life better for everyday Americans,” he said.

Four days earlier, he beat Ken Paxton to become the first Democrat to win a Senate race in Texas since 1988.

Later in the show, Weekend Update went after Elon Musk, who sank more than $440 million into the Texas midterms. “You moved all of your companies to Texas because you didn’t want to pay taxes,” Colin Jost told Jeremy Culhane’s Musk.

“That was like an epic roast of me. Most vulgar,” fake Musk said.

Ivanka Trump turned 45 on Oct. 30, and she spent the days before it on what Moroccan media called a “private retreat” in Marrakech. Taxpayers helped pick up the tab.

Federal contracting records show a $59,543 contract issued Oct. 21 for Secret Service rooms at the five-star Sofitel ahead of a “VVIP” arrival. The next day came a $33,457 contract for a Secret Service team at La Mamounia, where private riads can run more than $8,600 a night.

Neither record names her. She was reportedly the only Secret Service protectee known to be in Morocco at the time.

And the $93,000 doesn’t even include the agents’ salaries, flights, meals or ground transportation.

A family source told the Daily Mail that Secret Service protection is available to “every child and grandchild of the president.”

Morocco wasn’t even her only birthday getaway. She’d already posted photos from The Inn at Little Washington, a five-star Virginia hotel with a two-Michelin-star restaurant.

Her fortune is estimated at up to $100 million. Her father’s went up $3 billion. So did everyone’s, apparently.
