Trump's 60 Minutes interview reminded me of when he walked out of a 1990 interview with CNN when asked about his finances.

Here's the footage:

Reporter: "What was inaccurate so far?”

Trump:"I thought your demeanor was inaccurate.”

I mean, I know that the character is super popular and gets a wide audience, but ESPECIALLY rich and famous people should have some background on who Ali G. is and what he does.

Probably Chump had no idea who Ali G. or Sacha Baron Cohen even was. Chump's philosophy was (and still is) any time in front of a TV camera is good. There's no such thing as bad publicity.

This Ali G. bit sort of carried over when Cohen created his Borat character, he parodied those people to their faces because they had no idea he was making fun of them.

Because 60 Minutes has always been on CBS, not CNN

So what was the other 60 Minutes interview he walked out on?
