His latest interview.......
https://twitter.com/axios/status/129...489348096?s=19
Loathe as I am to bring this thread back to Trump, I've just watched some of his interview with Jonathan Swan, which was broadcast on HBO last night. The man is beyond parody.
The bit about Coronavirus in the US is startling; he brings out paper charts to show Swan and persuade him on his argument. Basically, his argument is that the relevant figure is "deaths per number of confirmed cases" rather than "deaths per head of population". He then refers to not getting enough credit for the US doing more testing than any other country. He's so out of his depth that he'd almost engender sympathy if the situation wasn't so serious and he wasn't such a ****.
I understand why people would be suspicious that Trump may try to hold onto power if he loses the election, but the man I see is simply not capable of doing so.
You can't do that.Quote:

You have to wonder why Trump agrees to be interviewed by him when he is so clearly intellectually inferior.
Obviously # of deaths per head of population is a different and more meaningful statistic than # of deaths per cases when forming a view on how effective any countrys response to CV is. But do Trump voters appreciate that? Do they even care? Does Trump realise what he’s saying doesn’t really stand up but is just ploughing through anyway, either lost in a narcissistic dream state or just hoping his core support don’t notice or don’t care?

It's almost unthinkable that someone that stupid, that ignorant, and that much of an idiot, could wind up as President of the USA, but here we are.
I don't have sympathy for him, he's a racist, a misogynist, a bully, and a liar (on top of being an idiot).
He doesn't appear to have a shred of decency about him, either. Just bluster and aggression.
If you watch the whole interview - you actually cringe all the way through. Trump is totally delusional.
:faf:Quote:

If COVID hadn’t come round I do think that would probably have been how it would have went.
The way he’s dealt with COVID though has made others predictions look mild. Guys ****ing nuts.
For a minute I genuinely thought it was a comedy sketch. It's unbelievable and would be funny if his idiocy wasn't costing thousands of lives.Quote:

Trump doing the interview with himself. it almost makes more sense.
Man's insane
How anyone can vote for him a 2nd time defies logic

Obviously his performance in these interviews is appalling, but I have to say, something deep inside of me actually respects him for facing up to some sort of scrutiny for a change.
It’s not like him.
I think it's more likely that he is doing it because he is an arrogant ******* and he believes he is the cleverest but in the world. I can imagine that his advisers are tearing their hair out about it. They surely must be telling him not to do itQuote:

Interestingly it wasn’t frozen or called out for posting clearly doctored photos of Biden. Claiming he was alone and diminished in his basement they heavily edited photos of him at a football watching party, outdoors at a rally and even him praying in church...all (rather poorly) edited to try and show him pale and frail and alone in his basement.
Talk about Fake News!!

Then there is the strong evidence that the second wave of the flu was the result of the troops returning home and spreading it like wildfire.
Clearly ol’ Trump has got his wars mixed up but there is also some suggestion that the Spanish flu likely killed more US troops in WWI than enemy action.
So on this one I kind of see his point. <did I actually just say that! [emoji2957][emoji23]>
What also must be remembered about the Spanish flu though is that medicine at that time actually didn’t know what a virus was so it’s rather hard to piece it all together in terms of what actually happened.
And it didn’t come from Spain. I’ve read about the troops being carriers. Makes sense, high concentration of men, crammed together exhausted and not the best of condition. Ripe for disease.Quote:
