The paper he handed over showed the rates of deaths per case, and Swan was asking him about the high rate of deaths in the US when looking at the total population of the country.

Yeah, I found it on my laptop and was too lazy to send it over to my phone where I was on lemmy. So I typed it up, and then I actually sent the link to my phone when it was pointed out that it was broken.
Well, maybe lazy isn’t the right word. But I was too something.

Thanks!
Holy shit! That Swan guy is a fucking legend. I’ve never seen Trump get that hounded by a journalist before!! He needs to et this more often. Why the fuck aren’t more people pressuring him with questions like this?

Because they’ll never get another interview with him, or most other Republican politicians. It’s a pathetic reason, but that’s all it takes.

Remember how he abolished press briefings at the White house because Sarah Sanders couldn’t and didn’t want to answer questions from those pesky journalists?

Man it is HARD to believe this jabbering orangesicle was ever the president of the fucking United States
JargonWagon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
And is a threat to be president yet again. God I hope not.

Easily hits one of the 10 things you do not want to hear the president of your country say.

I forgot how much this interview reminded me of my parents.

Man, if the media was with its salt it could absolutely bury Trump in negative campaign ad. It’s one thing to run a single valid negative campaign ad. With Trump you could collect them like fucking pokemon.
FilthyHookerSpit@lemmy.world 7 months ago
You’d need over 30x the amount of total pokemon to match the amount of lies he’s told
getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
That’s a lotta pokémon
MalachaiConstant@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That’s the problem though. His core supporters define themselves by who they oppose, so anything negative said about him is seen as an attack and becomes fuel for the hate machine

The hate machine runs on unicorns and rainbows.
