"I think we have enough of an interview. Okay. Let's go," Trump says five minutes before the walk-and-talk with Pence and Lesley Stahl.
Trump ends the interview after complaining that Biden gets preferential treatment from the media and that the former VP "has never been asked a question that's hard."
First question from Stahl: There has been a pandemic and racial strife under your watch. "Why do you want this job?"
2nd Q: What's your biggest domestic priority? Trump says "best economy ever." Stahl: "You know that's not true."
Lighter moment when producers pause the interview because a flag is moving in the background. Trump jokes, "it doesn't look good blowing in the wind?"
