Donald Trump explained in a tweet that he wanted to anticipate the broadcast of the interview on the program "
60 Minutes
" on Sunday in order to expose the "
bias, hatred and rudeness

Your first sentence was, 'The questions are going to be tough.'
I don't mind, but when you arranged the interview, you didn't say that.
You said 'Oh, let's do a cool interview',

“
I've seen all of his interviews.
You never ask him such tough questions

60 Minutes
".
The interview will air on Sunday.
Donald Trump's broadcast of the interview, recorded Tuesday at the White House, comes a few hours before his final debate with Joe Biden.
