Of course he went on. It's because they asked. For those who lived through the 80s, 60 Minutes was a prize winning and highly prized interview to land. Which means agreeing to it assuaged his ego as an interview is about him.
That he never thought about how he would appear to everyone else is an afterthought. Up to and until he starts seeing what Twitter, et. al. are saying about his appearance. Then he'll go ballistic over how he appears to be a moronic nincompoop.
It's a pattern of behavior. A narcissistic one. An abusive one.

No, he'll just not even process the critical ones. He gets so much flak twittage that he either just flushes most of it or has someone to vet what actually gets through to him, which will of course be 99% ego pump.

Yeah, I was gonna say the same thing. Like most boomers, Trump has a special place in his heart for 60 Minutes. He absolutely craves their attention and approval.
