An edited version of the interview aired on CBS Sunday night. Trump released the full 38-minute interview on Facebook on Thursday, pre-empting the network because he said he was unhappy with Stahl's questioning.
Despite Stahl's persistent efforts to challenge him, Trump made false or misleading claims about several topics on which he has been frequently deceptive in recent months -- most notably the coronavirus pandemic.
We counted at least 16 false or misleading claims in the extended footage Trump posted, 10 of them pandemic-related. Below is the full list. We've noted the instances in which the Trump quote we are checking is from the extended footage the President posted rather than the footage televised by CBS.
Cases and testing
Trump claimed that coronavirus cases are rising simply \"because we're doing so much testing.\"
\"If we didn't do testing, cases would be way down,\" he added in the extended footage.
Facts First: It's not true that the US is only seeing an increase in cases because the number of tests has increased. Trump also used this refrain during previous spikes in the number of cases; it was also false then.
While the number of daily tests has indeed been rising, there is no doubt there has been an increase in the actual spread of the virus, not just that more cases are being captured. One telltale sign is that hospitalizations are also rising, setting records in some states. Also, the percentage of US tests coming back positive has also been rising since late September. And deaths have started to rise again, too, after the usual lag following the spike in cases.
\"The corner\"
Stahl pointed out that people can see for themselves that it's not true when he repeatedly claims we have \"turned the corner\" on the pandemic and that it is \"disappearing.\" Trump responded, \"That's right, we have turned the corner.\"
Facts First: Stahl was right, Trump was wrong. Again, US pandemic numbers -- newly confirmed cases, hospitalizations, the test positivity rate, deaths -- are all getting worse, not better. There is just no basis for his vague claim that we are rounding some sort of corner in a positive direction.
Trump's comments about Fauci
Stahl said, \"You called Dr. Fauci and other health officials idiots.\" Trump responded, \"Where did I call him an idiot?\"
Facts First: This was misleading at best. On a phone call with campaign staff on Monday, with reporters from CNN and other outlets listening in, Trump said, \"People are tired of hearing Fauci and these idiots, all these idiots who got it wrong.\"
Trump could perhaps make an argument that he was distinguishing Dr. Anthony Fauci from the unnamed \"these idiots\" he was referring to, but that's a stretch. (And Trump went on to tell Stahl that Fauci has \"been wrong a lot,\" which is how he was defining \"idiots\" in the phone call.)
Trump rallies and masks
Stahl told Trump that she couldn't believe that, after so many people who attended his White House event for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett in September got sick with the coronavirus, Trump still
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — The Seychelles presidential election has seen an upset, with the electoral commission on Sunday declaring longtime opposition contender Wavel Ramkalawan the winner over incumbent Danny Faure. The ruling party has been knocked from power for the first time since 1977. Opposition leader Ramkalawan, a 59-year-old priest who has largely devoted himself to politics, received 54% of the vote in the Indian Ocean island nation while Faure received 43%, the commission chair Danny Lucas said, calling the race 'hotly contested.' 'Mr. Faure and I are very good friends and an election does not mean the end of […]

Zanzibar held huge rallies Sunday ahead of a presidential election, after the opposition raised fears of fraud in the semi-autonomous archipelago that has a history of contested polls.
Tens of thousands of people dressed in green and yellow gathered at the far larger ruling Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) rally just outside of the capital Stone Town, while the opposition meeting was a sea of bright purple five kilometres (three miles) away.
Police fired teargas at small groups of stone-throwing opposition supporters near the site of the ruling party rally shortly after the simultaneous gatherings ended, an AFP reporter witnessed.
The opposition ACT-Wazalendo (Alliance for Change and Transparency-Patriots) rally took place just hours after campaign manager Nassor Mazrui was abducted and held for several hours before being dumped in a forest.
He told the crowd his car was intercepted and he was seized by six armed men. Police said they were investigating.
- 'Ready to die'-
Sectarian and political tensions in Zanzibar -- with a cosmopolitan population of Arabs, Asians and Africans -- are more marked than on the mainland.
The archipelago, known for its ancient spice trade and paradise beaches, joined with then-Tanganyika to form Tanzania in 1964, and has been ruled by the CCM ever since.
Opposition leader Seif Sharif Hamad, whose party calls for independence from the mainland, is taking his sixth shot at office since multiparty democracy was introduced in 1995.
He alleges that every vote was stolen from him, and many foreign observers have agreed.
\"The colonisers (mainland) have oppressed us enough, so take this election very seriously ... we are ready to die for Zanzibar,\" the 77-year-old Hamad, who leans on a walking stick, told a rapturous crowd.
In January 2001 at least 30 people were killed in clashes between police and opposition supporters after a disputed election.
Polls in 2005 were also marred by clashes.
A political deal allowing for more power sharing led to peaceful elections in 2010, but divisions quickly returned and in 2015, the head of the electoral commission cancelled the vote outright.
In 2016, the opposition boycotted the re-run and the CCM was declared the victor.
Heavily armed riot police and solders patrolled the streets on Sunday, the final day of rallies.
The opposition has condemned plans to have security forces vote a day early on Tuesday as a bid to steal the vote, and has urged supporters to go out and cast ballots on that day as well as on Wednesday.
Hamad's party is backed by Chadema, the leading opposition party on the mainland, in return for ACT-Wazalendo's support of Tundu Lissu, who is running for president of Tanzania in a vote scheduled the same day.
As on the mainland, the opposition has denounced a crackdown on freedom and democracy under union President John Magufuli.
