Trump says he calls many Democrats "Dumocrats" in CBS interview

In a CBS 60 Minutes interview set to air Sunday, Nov. 8, correspondent Ross Douthat asked President Trump whether he could work with Democrats while avoiding repeated verbal attacks. After Douthat raised Trump’s nickname for Senator-elect James Talarico of Texas, Trump acknowledged using it and said he applies comparable nicknames to numerous Democrats, according to the interview account. Douthat then asked whether Trump could go six months without such attacks to secure a deal; Trump said he could do so easily. The exchange comes as Talarico, who defeated Trump-endorsed Attorney General Ken Paxton, has offered to collaborate with Trump on healthcare and immigration. Former White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said on Fox & Friends that she rejected Talarico’s outreach and alleged he wants to eliminate ICE and would not help with border enforcement or deportations.
