President Donald Trump’s recent appearance on CBS’s 60 Minutes has ignited debate over editorial transparency, while his son Barron Trump is quietly stepping into a more visible public role. The interview, filmed at Mar-a-Lago and aired Sunday, marked Trump’s first sit-down with CBS since winning a $16 million settlement over alleged deceptive editing. In a rare move, CBS released the full unedited footage and transcript, inviting viewers to scrutinize the editorial process.
During the interview, Trump addressed key issues including the government shutdown, renewed nuclear testing, and immigration crackdowns. He also made pointed remarks about Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, calling him a “kamikaze obstructionist”. The release of the full interview appears to be CBS’s effort to preempt criticism and restore trust following past controversies.
Meanwhile, Barron Trump, long shielded from the public eye, has begun appearing more frequently at official events and in campaign-related media. Though still a minor, his presence signals a subtle shift in the Trump family’s public strategy, drawing attention from political observers and media outlets alike.
