Trump's 60 Minutes interview: 10 key takeaways
President Trump acknowledged "bad messaging" on the economy and said his immigration crackdown was "too tough" at times, in a 60 Minutes interview days after Republicans suffered major midterm losses. He also hinted at personnel changes, announcing Chief of Staff Susie Wiles' departure shortly after. Trump attributed Republican losses to voter disapproval of the Iran war and high gas prices, but insisted his absence from the ballot was the primary factor. He defended his economic record as "phenomenal" despite exit polls showing three-fourths of voters viewed the economy negatively, and said his deportation policies were "too tough" on some immigrants. The president said he is "not looking to" escalate the Iran war, though he defended the decision to attack Iran as historically sound. He also suggested he will issue "tremendous numbers of pardons," discussed UFO sightings with military pilots, and said he cannot forgive his political enemies.
