(CNN)President Donald Trump abruptly ended a solo interview with CBS News' "60 Minutes" Tuesday and did not return for an appearance he was supposed to tape with Vice President Mike Pence, according to multiple sources familiar with what happened.

After camera crews set up at the White House on Monday, Trump sat down with host Lesley Stahl for about 45 minutes on Tuesday before he abruptly ended the interview and told the network he believed they had enough material to use, according to two sources.

CBS News did not immediately respond to a CNN request for comment.

Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris were also interviewed by "60 Minutes" and all four are scheduled to appear in the same program on Sunday. While Biden and Harris taped their interviews separately, Trump and Pence were scheduled to appear on camera together, like they did four years ago, for a walk and talk session. But Trump did not return for the appearance with Pence, sources said.

The article goes on to quote what Stahl had previously said Trump told her off-camera in 2016 -- that he attacks the press to demean and discredit them so that no one will believe them when they do negative stories about him.

1. He was jonesing for a bump and never went back

His drug crazed mind forgot he even had the interview.

Or so many people are saying.

[mr_lebowski]

2. That's definitely the word on the street ...

[Roy Rolling]

24. People are saying it's Adderall

It’s just curious how he brags That he doesn’t drink alcohol, is he doing that to hide something? So many questions...

[smb]

11. Maybe He Wandered Off And Got Lost nt

[bucolic_frolic]

3. Pence has been invisible and now he's invisible to Trump

One needs to let his hair down, the other needs to take his hair off. Really odd couple.

[msongs]

4. great news. 60 minutes should just cancel the segment or better show him stomping off nt

[Jirel]

5. So much this.

“We were going to air this, but then POStus just stomped off like a child. Enjoy this view of his backside as we go instead to...”

[JohnQFunk]

8. ... Joe Biden!"

[Rebl2]

13. That's what

they should do. Don’t show it because he left before interview was over.

[lkinwi]

6. Maybe he'll do the same at the debate.

I can hope.😂

[SayItLoud]

7. Think about what he bailed on : Walk and Talk. Not a good look for tRUMP.

So he felt he got what he wanted which was probably easy softball questions by CBS to soften him up. When he got to the end of them....bail out. F'em.

[marble falls]

9. Yep. Wotta nice guy. President Joe Biden has such a nice ring to it.

[Gothmog]

10. Baby got mad

15. Trump PASSED on taping a session with Pence. Uh Oh!

Maybe he's not as stupid as we thought after all....................

[QED]

16. Maybe he needed his diaper changed.

[japple]

17. Where has Mike Pence been lately. After the VP debate, he seems to have gone underground.

Have there been any sightings?

[3catwoman3]

19. If you'd had a fly stuck in your hair...

...for over 2 minutes, while on national television, and didn’t know it, wouldn’t you be hiding out.

If a fly even buzzes past my ear, I freak out and am batting it away with wild gesticulations.

[japple]

23. Hahahaha!!! You're right! He's probably still crying in Mother's lap.

eom

[BBG]

18. Is Pence Renegotiating his Reup?

Stalling his personal appearances with it like Melania is doing tonight in Erie?

[C Moon]

26. Maybe nobody can stand being around Trump while he's high on drugs.

[Cetacea]

20. So, viewers will still be" treated" to a full interview. non story

[SergeStorms]

21. Under the bus for Mike Pence!

That pretty much completes the entire mal-administration now. Trump has thrown everyone under the bus, so he's taking his hair and going home. "Presidency" completed.

[tiptonic]

22. Probably

Probably had a call from Putin. Or his cocaine was wearing off.

[warmfeet]

25. Such a snowflake.

Melts under the least heat.

[McKim]

27. Maybe he is sick!

Maybe he is sick and doesn't have the strength to carry out the rest of the show. Hi voice sounds weird like he has a respiratory illness.
