very good point. the Central Park Five, trump was like "lock them up anyway they must have done something." but this lady "hey innocent until proven guilty." hmmm.

[@philipandrews9938]

He didn't wish it, he took out several full page ads in the paper and outright demanded their deaths and to this day has refused to apologize for it. "I wish her well" is clearly code for "stay quiet and I'll get you out" since he is most likely one of her clients and doesn't want her talking (and another "oh the cameras stopped working, his cellmate was gone and the guards went missing so he hanged himself" accident would be much to suspicious)

[@dr.elliesattler810]

He doesn't really care. Neither do most of his supporters. Unless it personally impacts them or their loved ones they don't care. He just wants to win, he just wants to be powerful and if Americans die of Covid then...he will always blame someone else. Nevermind that he said multiple times prior to being elected that the President has ultimate responsibility for his citizens...and criticized Obama's leadership at every opportunity. Other countries dealt with this better, we know it originated in China, we know they handled it badly. But the rest of the world has had stark differences in response. He's now trying to push the narrative that other countries are having new surges...and while that is true, most are not as high as the US surge that began over 2 months ago. He brings up China, who topped 100 cases on more than one day and acted fast to contain it. Australia... daily triple figure case rises, have put into place strict local lockdowns. As have Spain...the UK rapidly locked down a major city after a spike in cases, so quickly in fact that the locals had virtually no warning.

Look at the confusion on Swan's face at 5:31 - that is the look the rest of the world has every day with the stuff Trump says.

@@krusher74 I don't think it's a matter of their being uneducated...I think in some cases it has to do with CONTROL, and fear of losing prestige or losing a job. I've seen a lot of interviews of Trump, and there were so, so many questions that I often felt SHOULD'VE been asked of him in the interviews... OBVIOUS and NECESSARY questions that would've made Trump trip over his own tongue, and expose himself as being either hypocritical, self-contradictory or grossly incompetent, but those kinds of questions are usually NEVER asked. That frustrated the hell out of me as an American citizen. Making the President look foolish in front of the world would no-doubt be a fireable offense; probably get you locked out of future press briefings, banned from the White House and/or vilified over social media... not to mention you'll be a prominent subject of Trump's Twitter rants!

MasterHigure At least this interview will be remembered in what is otherwise a sea of inconsequential interviews. I didn’t know or care who Swan was before this but you can be sure I took notice now. With a bit of luck the ball will soon be set in motion and there’ll be no hiding from the ridicule that is rightly his. But yes there is every chance that this will restrict further interviews. To be entirely honest I’m impressed someone didn’t step in and pull the plug on that interview.

Thought the interview was hilarious. But one thing that’s driving me crazy is everyone claiming the US is still behind other countries in testing. This simply is not the case. As of Aug 4, the US has one of the highest testing rates in the world, by actual numbers and per capita. 174 per 100k, according to Johns Hopkins. It’s much lower in other countries. HOWEVER, positivity rates in the US remain substantially higher than other developed countries. It’s a critical distinction.
