President Trump made the full extent of his ineptitude known in a new Axios on HBO interview with national political correspondent Jonathan Swan.
Swan somehow displays a highly commendable level of resolve as Trump spews misinformation at every turn ; many viewers won’t stay as calm. There was a wealth to choose from, but here are the seven craziest things President Trump said in the train-wreck Axios interview everyone is talking about.To the world, it may be a public-health emergency, but for Trump, the COVID-19 pandemic is a bitchy power move from China to punish the U.S. for its economic success.
The president even went so far as to produce his own charts, claiming the U.S. death rate from coronavirus was among the lowest in the world. The only problem, as Swan pointed out: Trump’s charts showed deaths by case number, rather than deaths by population. Trump’s retort? “You can’t do that.” Better, of course, to ignore the rising death and hospitalization rate in favor of figures that suit him.
Swan's facial expressions during his masterful interview with Trump soon became a trending topic on Twitter.Trump doubled down on his kind wishes for alleged child sex trafficker Maxwell. “Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She’s now in jail,” the president said. “Yeah, I wish her well, I’d wish you well, I’d wish a lot of people well. Good luck, let them prove somebody was guilty.
