[@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.

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.

If he had done his damn job, and not acted like it was just going to disappear, we wouldn't HAVE to test so much. Its a ridiculous way to try to measure success

@@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! IF you fear facing ANY of what I mentioned above (and they KNOW you are), you will be like putty in their hands. Once an Enemy knows your fear, you can be CONTROLLED by that fear. This interview looks as if Mr. Swan had NO concerns that would've made him bite his tongue. I like that...a LOT!😊 Let's see if he suffers from any ramifications over this.

[@jk177717]

Swan's Australian. In Australia, we get political interviews of this quality pretty much daily. As an Australian, it's endlessly frustrating to see how easy it has been for Trump to evade such scrutiny. And I don't think Australia is the outlier here. From what I've seen, the same goes for pretty much every other developed democracy. It's the US that's the odd one out. While the US has some excellent journalists, it's possible for a President to avoid ever being interviewed by them to a degree that's just unthinkable to outsiders.

[@d4mdcykey]

@@jk177717 ~ Your points are valid and as an American that consumes alot of political media from other countries it is an embarrassing situation I have watched unfold here for the last three years.

[@PassiveSmoking]

The sad thing is the questions weren't even especially tough. Trump is just so used to a sycophantic toadying "press" who don't dare ask difficult questions for fer of losing access to the white house that he doesn't know how to answer the questions of a person he can't threaten into submission. There's a lesson here for people who hold power. Never surround yourself with yes-men and butt-kissers. You'll be left ill-equipped to deal with any real crisis if you do.

They don't prepare much it seems. They should know the answers before they ask and be ready with the rebuttal. And don't ask anything that lets him give a feeling or opinion answer.

@@darylhaynes1025 There are journalists that do challenge Trump in briefings but Trump has the option to ignore, go to the next journalist, pretend he can't hear during 'Chooopper Taaaaalk!' or just walk out. They don't have the one-on-one like Johnathan had.

[@gaebren9021]

I am an Australian I do think that American journalists are pretty good. But I don't think they (the good ones) get a chance or get a hearing with Trump. Trump just silences them. Which is interesting. Why did Trump agree to do the interview? If he feels that the media is 'fake' news, yet he agreed to do this interview.

Trump is so stupid, it's frightening. Hopefully America will survive without any more damage.

[@MP197742]

I’m surprised Trump didn’t just get up and storm out. It’s his normal reaction when reporters push him for answers and correct his lies.

[@debralambert1475]

trump over talks everyone because he was brought up with might makes right. Come Nov he'll throw out all kinds conspiracy theories because he will do anything to avoid jail.

[@BenBarredo]

The thing that scares me is the months following the election, if Trump loses,you can do a lot of damage during that lame duck session.

[@MP197742]

@@BenBarredo Assuming he loses, I think he will squander it. Mostly fighting the results of the election, trying to convince people he was cheated, challenging it in court, ordering Barr to investigate the election, doing anything he can to undo the result. Not that that isn’t damaging, but other than the Barr party, it won’t be an abuse of the office. Thinking about six weeks of that before the Supreme Court rules 9-0 against him as the nation’s Christmas present. Then one more week of sulking, playing the victim, trying to start a civil war on his behalf. Then a mad scramble to pardon anyone and everyone that could incriminate him.

[@Muddy283]

@@xwarrior760 Yes, we *_do_* realise that is what he was trying to say - with the help of his pretty piece of paper displaying a world with just four countries (presumably, his aides thought a world with anything more than four countries would be just too much for his brain to comprehend. Indeed, even this simple graph seemed to present somewhat of a challenge to him). So let me express myself differently, in the hope that my meaning will become clearer to you. In this alternative and increasingly dystopian _Alice in Wonderland_ America-according-to-Trumpspeak, we have in that statement, unwittingly on his part, an extraordinary and painfully tragicomic distillation of Trumpspeak upside-down truth : 4% of the world's population. 25% of the world's covid cases and deaths. _"We're the best_ 😍😍. _Yeah!!!"_

@@Muddy283 I didn't say his stats are accurate or reliable or even frames the situation honestly. There are countless places where you can and should justifiably attack Trump, I'm just saying this particular statement is not one of them as it's clear to most people what he meant.
