CBS News said Tuesday that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has declined to participate in an interview with “60 Minutes” for its election special, which will go forward next Monday with Democratic opponent Kamala Harris alone.

Television’s top-rated news program regularly invites the two presidential contenders for separate interviews that air back-to-back on a show near the election. This year, it is scheduled for Monday instead of its usual Sunday time slot.

Asked for comment, the former president’s campaign spokesman Steven Cheung said, “Fake news,” adding that there were discussions but nothing was ever locked in.

      Nope. I don’t see Trump being adaptable and able to take a pounding. He’s a chicken, without the taste.

      For the uninitiated (and those commenting on my use of a perfectly valid term): Pussy (/ˈpʊsi/) is an English noun, adjective, and—in rare instances—verb. It has several meanings, as slang, as euphemism, and as vulgarity. Most commonly, it is used as a noun with the meaning “cat”, “coward”, or “weakling”. - Wikipedia

      Let’s not use that term negatively, because in reality, they’re a LOT tougher than you think.
