He put out the 60 minutes footage:

Seems pretty reasonable so far.
The exchange about his pleading with women to like him was not the blow up it was described as.
So far Stahl is politely asking tough questions and Trump is the one getting annoyed and combative.
Trump on his “in two weeks” health care plan:
“It is developed. It is fully developed. It’s going to be announced very soon.”
A minute later, re SCOTUS killing Obamacare:
“It’ll be so good if they end it because we will come up with a plan.”
Stahl: “Will?”
“It is developed. It is fully developed. It’s going to be announced very soon.”
A minute later, re SCOTUS killing Obamacare:
“It’ll be so good if they end it because we will come up with a plan.”
Stahl: “Will?”
Trump on Biden: “He’s in the middle of a scandal.”
Stahl, laughingly: “He’s not. No. Come on.”
Trump: “You’re like Big Tech. You’re protecting him. And everyone is.”
Stahl, laughingly: “He’s not. No. Come on.”
Trump: “You’re like Big Tech. You’re protecting him. And everyone is.”
....they spied on my campaign blah blah...
“This is 60 minutes. We can’t put on things we can’t verify.”
“It’s been totally verified. They spied on my campaign and they got caught.”
“No.”
“This is 60 minutes. We can’t put on things we can’t verify.”
“It’s been totally verified. They spied on my campaign and they got caught.”
“No.”
Re Biden allegations
“All these things have been investigated and discredited.”
“It’s incredible the way you can try and say this and sit there and look me in the eye and say it.”
“All these things have been investigated and discredited.”
“It’s incredible the way you can try and say this and sit there and look me in the eye and say it.”
“Half the country loves you. But the other half doesn’t.”
“They were starting to, Leslie. Prior to the plague. They were starting to really like..we were all starting to like each other.”
“Do you think you do anything to unify the country?”
“I do. I think I do unify the country.“
“They were starting to, Leslie. Prior to the plague. They were starting to really like..we were all starting to like each other.”
“Do you think you do anything to unify the country?”
“I do. I think I do unify the country.“
Strange glimpse into the Trump mind:
“You have to fight back. And if you don’t fight back, you’re not sitting here long. You go back home. You go back home to Mommy.”
“You have to fight back. And if you don’t fight back, you’re not sitting here long. You go back home. You go back home to Mommy.”
“You’ve all but said that Attorney General Barr should go after President Obama...If you lose, how would you feel if then President Biden went after you?”
“Oh he probably will. Because I think he’s a very dishonest guy.”
“Oh he probably will. Because I think he’s a very dishonest guy.”
Re Barr going after Biden, Obama or Hillary:
“They’ve been very lucky. Now, I can’t tell you what’s going to happen. I don’t know. Because I purposely like to stay out of it. I don’t like to get involved...But I think they’ve been very, very lucky. AG Barr is a gentleman.”
“They’ve been very lucky. Now, I can’t tell you what’s going to happen. I don’t know. Because I purposely like to stay out of it. I don’t like to get involved...But I think they’ve been very, very lucky. AG Barr is a gentleman.”
Then he ends the interview after scolding Stahl for saying she would have tough questions. He doesn’t rage - just says cordially they’ve done enough and leaves.
