President Trump followed through after tweeting that he will publish an “unedited preview” of his “60 Minutes” sitdown to show viewers that the interview was a vicious attempted ‘takeout’ by correspondent Lesley Stahl when he posted a portion of the interview on Facebook Thursday.

“I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted ‘takeout’ interview of me by Lesley Stahl of @60Minutes,” Trump wrote. “Watch her constant interruptions & anger. Compare my full, flowing and ‘magnificently brilliant’ answers to their ‘Q’s.’”

In a preview released by CBS, Trump and Stahl disagreed over the state of the economy prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

“We created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” the president said before Stahl chimed in, “You know that’s not true.”

Trump was also shown saying China is our biggest foreign adversary.

“They’re a competitor. They’re a foe in many ways, but they’re an adversary, I think what happened was disgraceful, should never have happened. They should never have allowed this plague to get out of China and go throughout the world,” Trump said.

Sources told Fox News that Stahl was “extremely hostile” and that she began the interview along the lines of “get ready for some tough questions.”

“Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes not wearing a mask in the White House after her interview with me. Much more to come,” the president teased.

The tweet was presumed to be a reference to the ongoing criticism the Trump administration receives from members of the media for not strictly following CDC guidelines that urge mask-wearing and social-distancing.

Stahl even attempted to make the case that the Biden laptop “CANNOT BE VERIFIED.” President Trump was quick to black the left-wing interviewer and to call her out on “discrediting herself!”

WATCH:

Wait a minute…it appears Lesley Stahl owes the President an apology, as the Biden laptop is verified! “Biden family business partner VERIFIES Biden China money! Bobulinski: ‘The Biden family aggressively leveraged the Biden family name to make millions of dollars from foreign entities even though some were from communist-controlled China,'” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany tweeted on Thursday.
