I can't even remember what dumb shit Trump was showing this guy.
It was an interview with Jonathan Swan about COVID-19 where Trump had a bunch of papers with graphs trying to show that the US was doing well with cases. The paper he handed over showed the rates of deaths per case (though Trump didn't seem to understand the graph), and Swan was asking him about the high rate of deaths in the US when looking at the total population of the country.

Man, if the media was worth a damn it could absolutely bury Trump in negative campaign ads. It's one thing to run a single valid negative campaign ad. With Trump you could collect them like fucking pokemon.
You'd need over 30x the amount of total pokemon to match the amount of lies he's told as president
That's a lotta pokémon
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. I'm not going around chasing unicorns and cursing at the sky.
RE: your URL edit
You manually type URLs?! :D
Man did his best for us
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.
Ah, I’m on Apple w/Universal Clipboard. I see Android alternatives out there!
Did this video go unavailable in half an hour or is it region locked?

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
And is a threat to be president yet again. God I hope not.
"They are dying; it is what it is."
Easily hits one of the 10 things you do not want to hear the president of your country say.
