Jonathan Swan: Is this really the president of the United States or am I being panked?
Sadly your being Con .by a snake oil salesman
This is as real as it gets
Sadly, it is what it is. Trump is the president of the United states.

Trump’s note to self: Only let Hannity interview me.
Lol
I don’t really think he’s smart enough to realize that he didn’t totally blow this interview. He’s like: “crushed it big league”. It’s his advisors who have to break the bad news.
Hannity won’t disagree with him, that’s for sure.
@Andrew Brent Sad part is that his supporters, the few who would have actually watched this interview, think that he blew it out of the water and put that pushy liberal reporter in his place.
If trump would make the decision that he can only be interviewed by people stupider than himself, we would never again have to listen to another interview from him.
Well done Mr Swan, finally a journalist with a BACKBONE, seeking truth.
Why can’t all journalists call him out on all his lies????
Good lord he was excellent if only all the other journalists could follow
Way back when before he was president Barbara Walter’s would call him out on his BS all the time
Back in November, satellite images, phone and internet messages were gathered to determine there was a serious threat. By December 31st all airports should have been closed if they assumed the virus would spread across the world. If done then, more lives would be spared so yes I agree, but that’s what it took. Please read the intel link: https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/intelligence-report-warned-coronavirus-crisis-early-november-sources/story?id=70031273
@Becurious because Trump gaslights and Trumps supporters think it’s awesome when Trump discredits and denigrates them. It’s shameful and sad…so many people don’t realize how lucky we are in this country to have the 1st Amendment. Free speech is something we can not take for granted. Reporters in other authoritarian countries would be murdered or jailed.
I liked that interviewer, he wasn’t just letting Trump’s BS to fly.
ThruAWiderLens as an Australian do you think I’d want to travel to the US at the moment, even if I was allowed to … which I’m not because our government won’t allow it. So by all means take away my ability to apply for a visa, and whilst you’re at it deny my application for Unicorn ownership because it’s about the same practical use to me here in reality.
He got embarrassed and don’t even know it
— a notably tougher interview than the overpraised one that Chris Wallace did for the laughing-stock Fox News network.
More than once in other interviews, Fat Coward Trump has characterized questions & questioners that were merely tough as “nasty.” Nasty! He thinks he’s a king or a dictator & not the president of a democratic republic, and so reporters are supposed to grovel and supplicate. No! Not at all! That’s not how we do it in the United States, you incompetent clown.
@Denise Savona actually, if you look at who owns the CNN, MSNBC, FoxNews, ect.. it’s big corps….
The most honest moment in Trump’s presidency was when he said, “It is what it is”. It finally came out. His best Freudian Slip. He flat out let us know he doesn’t care.
Nickbiz247 it was when he said “we are lower than the rest of the world” for me
Don’t see a problem here
Mauricio93201 wow. Never heard that one.
@Fact Area troll farm
daniel reilly a problem with what?
TRUMP TO BASE: The Coronavirus ‘’IS WHAT IT IS.’’ THERE IS NOTHING MORE I COULD HAVE DONE TO PROTECT MY PERSONAL INTERESTS.
“You can’t…you can’t do that.” –Trump OMG , Trump is dumb.
🤣🤣🤣you can do that .. huh wtf
That’s what his macninny whispered in his ear. “You can’t do that, we are attempting a coup, here. You can’t be negative. Tell them how good it feels to die, Don honey.
You just found out?
“We’re lower than the world” This guy is beyond stupid!
@Fact Area troll farm
No he isn’t. He’s right. You “are” lower than the world nowadays thanks to this moron you let be elected
He always exaggerates his lies!
We will be till he’s gone
25 verse in which jesus,, was mentioned in the qur’an
https://youtu.be/qzsuTv6aRoM
We can’t wait until Nov. get this nonentity out now! Then we can say “it is what it is”.
nice reference
Jeanne Amato VOTE TRUMP BABY. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍
Better yet, “it is what it was!”
no. On that day you get to say “You’re fired.”
“Lower than the world, lower than Europe!” “In what?!?” Obviously it’s in his ability to actually do anything useful against this virus.
Get it right! He is dragging around on the virus ON PURPOSE! He jumped in and started this China tarriff on purpose to wreck our economy!
I like how he starts to answer the question but quickly changes what he is saying to something completely different.
This interview was a good start, but when tRump dodges answering a question, journalists need to just keep asking the same question until he answers, or more likely, gets up and walks out. I would love to see that. Him walking out because he was asked a question and refused to answer, that would really help Biden’s ratings.
@David Edwards really, you need a journalist to show you he’s not in touch with reality and every word that comes out of his mouth is a lie?
Trumps the type of guy that “loses” weight by switching to the metric system, 300lbs = 136kgs.
Be respectful. You can’t do that. He’s a tremendous president with a very big brain. 😉
Him first lol
@Sallie Gallegos He’s a looney.
Ah that ‘s an idea… Quite an efficient method and without an effort ! Brilliant…
@Its Benedict But he was elected President of the United States of America ! Quite an accomplishment…
Trump: “Johnathan, you have to look at the charts. You’re not looking at the charts. If you take a look at this one, you can clearly see there’s a PERSON. Then, if you look at this one over here, you can make out a WOMAN. Take a look at this other one, and you will plainly see a MAN. Then, when you look at these last two, it’s obvious there is a CAMERA and a T.V. Now, if you can put them all in order like this, you get extra points! See, not everyone can put them in order and get it right, but I can. It’s not easy for most people, but it’s easy for me. I can do it because I have like a good memory, because I’m cognitively there.”
Did he say “ lower than the world” ? Did I hear right? 😩
Yep, he was talking about the bar…
Your hearing is perfect, it is Trumps statements that are broken.
Incredible, Trump said something TRUE.
Yes he did😔
You can’t do that. Proof he needs to live in his own reality.
He colored all the charge himself with crayola crayon Right before the BS meeting😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜😜
There’s a bubble waiting for him, reinforced with high strength steel.
@David salo yeah steel made in China
Worse than children “need” Disney and YouTube
That’s the problem; he IS in his own world.
Trump: “It is what it is”
Me:🙄
Looks like “It is what it is” is becoming Trump’s 2020 campaign slogan. On the up side, he can’t stumble pronouncing any of the words like “Yo-semites.
This POTUS is the worst disaster in the history of the world.
@Fact Area troll farm
@toby flenderson reported that asshat
What scares me is how many Americans do not see he is trying to takeover our country as a dictator! IT IS REAL!
3 months away from election and we haven’t heard a word of his platform and plans for going forward. His whole presidency has been reactionary and without a plan.
He’s a serious threat to global stability that much is true.
“You can’t do that!” You have to listen to my lies & spin. Don’t go pestering me with the inconvenient truth! That makes me & my lies look bad”
Trump should take his own advice. “Read the manuals and books”. This is the shitshow we get when the country elected a President who skips his Intel briefings to read the cartoons on the Happy Meal box.
The more he attempts to shove his opinion down our throats, the less I believe him. True to narcissictic form, he can only replay the dialogue in his head over and over again.
Read the manuals and books!!!! 🤣🙄
LMAO BEST COMMENT!
Smileyrie, 👍👍 X 1000
He Is so incompetent . Get rid of him he’s bringing your country down .
“It is what it is.” – The president of indifference.
Indifferent to the rule of law, human suffering, and all criticism.
The only people wearing a mask are the doctors. Can’t make this sh*t up.
