Trump Interview - HBO

https://youtu.be/zaaTZkqsaxY

 

Not proper hardball, but not puff piece either. Trump is a bulldozer. Impressive technique. 

I get what you mean and, I’m sure to his hard core followers it is but he’s insane and there’s fuck all impressive about lying 100% of the time and being massively out of your depth. 

I think the interviewer was brilliant - certainly held him to account far more often and effectively than any of the US interviewers ever do (with the exception of a couple of minutes in the now infamous Chris Wallace interview).

I do wonder what his advisors must think when they listen to something like this exchange:-

"Trump: “We’re testing so much because we had the ability to test, because we came up with – Jonathan, we didn’t even have a test. When I took over, we didn’t even have a test.”

Swan: “Why would you have a test? The virus didn’t exist! How would you have a test?”

Trump: “I was going to say, there was no test for this new – we didn’t have a test, because there was no test.”

Said that China now have a worse economy than at any time in the past 60 years. 
 

Before the cultural revolution. 

The man is certifiably insane 😂

Complaining that nobody mentions his huge ratings on Fox News 😂

Will the GOP put country before party and intervene? He’s driving them into a ditch, a wreck is coming and they’re all frozen. Biden just needs to not stumble..... TV debates are going to be nail biting, Biden could fvck it up but all he’s got to do is let Trump bounce about talking gibberish and he’ll win. Even the deplorables are starting to wonder what the fvck is going on. 

The worrying thing is that you almost don't feel the cringe : we have become so desensitised to his meandering, word salad, general relentless gibberish, that it doesn't even feel THAT bad...

the most widely shared clip where he’s thumbing through coloured charts talking about deaths and cases I still haven’t seen all the way through because it is simply too much
