Some voters are claiming this is the mother of all interviews. A new confusing interview of President Donald Trump has been released on the Internet, and it has angered millions of people who have taken to social media to share their thoughts and ask questions.
On July 28, journalist Jonathan Swan interviewed the president of the United States for Axios on HBO. They tackled various topics, including the reports that Vladimir Putin has Russians pay bounties to kill U.S. soldiers and Jeffrey Epstein‘s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, being in jail. Maxwell is accused of being a sex trafficker.
Trump also spoke about his ill-fated Tulsa rally. Many people caught the coronavirus at the event, the late Hermain Cain was there maskless and died from the virus.
Trump and Swan had a real exchange about the skyrocketing number of coronavirus deaths in the U.S. compared to the rest of the world. Armed with several charts, the reporter tried to bring up the sad situation regarding COVID-19 in the country.
Trump, who appeared not to understand the charts, said: “The United States is the lowest in numerous categories. We’re lower than the world.”
The reporter told Trump that he was looking at it the wrong way, and he made this valid point: “Oh, you’re doing death as a proportion of cases. But I’m talking about death as a proportion of the population. That’s where the U.S. is, and it’s really bad. Much worse than South Korea, Germany, etc.”
After Swan pointed to the charts, Trump had this bizarre explanation: “You can’t do that. You have to go by the cases. It says that when you have somebody who has it, where there is a case, the people who live from those cases.”
Swan was forced to explain to Trump that South Korea has a population of 51 million people and recorded 300 COVID-19 related deaths. Compared to the United States, with a population of 328 million people, there have been over 158,000 deaths so far. Trump responded by: “You don’t know that.”
Elsewhere in the interview, Trump said he does not know if Epstein was killed or murdered and wished Maxwell, who is behind bars all the best.
Trump claimed that he did not know civil rights legend John Lewis and bashed him for not attending his inauguration.
He threw Lyndon Johnson under the bus and said the reports on Russian bounties are fake, and he will not bring them up with Putin.
