Trump snaps and calls CBS show ‘Deface the Nation’ after host points out policy reversals in first 100 days.
Trump, who last week referred to the show as “Deface the Nation,” complained to host Dickerson that he wasn’t given credit for his trade negotiations with China — a country he had previously called a “currency manipulator.”

“I love your show,” Trump told Dickerson. “I call it ‘Deface the Nation.’ But, you know, your show is sometimes not exactly correct. But when they talk about currency manipulation, and I did say I would call China, if they were, a currency manipulator, early in my tenure. And then I get there. No. 1, they — as soon as I got elected, they stopped. They’re not — it’s not going down anymore, their currency.”
