Our PM hasn't given a single legit interview, or a press conference. Bollywood stars have interviewed him and he describes how he eats mangoes. No I'm not kidding. We all have right wing religious extremists in power who don't care about anything.
1000 deaths per day: "It is what it is" Is he just trying to lose at this point? One last grift, pocket campaign funds then sneak out of town like a snake oil salesman? Serious question.
At this point I've had to accept that his supporters really are inconceivably stupid, evil, or both because they can watch these interviews and still feel proud to support Donald the Douche 100%
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.
It takes a reporter who has lived outside America to do an actual real interview with Trump with challenging questions and willing to go beyond rhetoric. The saddest part is this Australian-American, who has lived in the U.S. for less than a decade, knows more about the American system than the damn American president! Look at the confusion on Swan's face at 5:31 - that is the look the rest of the world has every day with the stuff Trump says.
So true. First decent interview where a reporter actually asks critical questions, too bad it comes four years too late.. American News reporters are a disgrace and embarrassment.
Homemadegameguru That look at 5:31 is also the look many of us right here in the US have every day listening to the garbage that comes out of that little anus trump calls a mouth.
Yeh we definitely need more like Swan. Trump had to work really hard to get through that, and he totally cocked it up. Shuffling those papers was like watching a child in kindergarten handing the teacher a crayon drawing. Enough already!
it's not rocket science if you have read a psychology book to make a narcissist show what they are. The press are uneducated to have taken this long for one of them to get to this point.
@@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.
@@loveinspired7 yes i agree with you, the USA press has their hands tied if they want to keep their jobs, and that is the end or real journalism. The term "fake news" has ruined truth in your country forever.
He's the most dangerous kind of sociopath. One who is clearly far along in the course of a progressive neuro-degenerative disease (you can see his hands shaking) ; has no one to hold him back, and was never intelligent to begin with.

@@michelleflynn7485 "And then he started playing his invisible imaginary accordian." lol, his stupid arm flailing gestures.Does Trump even hear himself during this interview? He's repeating himself so much because he obviously can't think of anything else to say.

Best interview ever. I hope people laugh at this decades after. Im proud someone pulled his teeth out and the laughing gas goes on forever and ever amen.
His sympathy towards an alleged sex trafficker Vs his obvious distaste for a beloved Civil Rights icon serve as two windows to his soul ... such a bottomless pit
!!! He called Kapernick, a non criminal, a SOB. Somehow his standards are miraculously lowered if the person allows them on their private island. (He doesn’t want Maxwell to speak because it would incriminate him.)
He is like a child, trying to persuade someone "this 1 Dollar bill is actually and most certainly definitely a Millions and Millions of Dollars-bill, believe me".
Exactly, he never had to raise his voice. He just kept sounding bemused & earnest, not aggressive, so trump kept going. We've had mail in voting in Australia for ages & it's just a part of our elections, no big deal. Best interview ever 😁
His HATRED for Black people in particular is Revealing as well as his Enormous Ego and Narcissistic views. A Old Septuagenerian CHILD. " Well John did not attend " My inauguration " is PETTY, VENGEFUL AND RACIALLY SAD. AMERICA CANNOT GROW, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS NUTCASE AT THE HELM.
Well.... that is because the rest didnt pertain to HIM. And he is only concerned about himself... And apparently the buildings.... he went on and on about the courthouse in Portland. Didnt seem to care much about the people but seemed to care a lot about that damn courthouse. Lmao
@Josh Edmonds So you don't think while speaking at a civil rights activist's funeral, its disrespectful to speak about the causes the person fought their entire lives for.
@Josh Edmonds So there's no racism anymore? Is it gone? Our president, through his actions, did plenty of racist crap. He continues to spew racism. Show me the white person gunned down for riding his bike in a black neighborhood where the police and da elected to not investigate at all.
@Josh Edmonds What man tazed a cop and was shot? And what cop has been charged for tazing? So do show me. And then you can show me what I asked for already. I dont need your whataboutism nonsense.
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.
@@gloriaa2817 why is that a good thing? If we kept this under control from the beginning, we would have never HAD to do that many tests. If we didn't have so many sick people, we wouldn't NEED to conduct that much testing. He DOES. NOT. deserve credit for all the testing. 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
@@gloriaa2817 did you miss the part where it's states that when you see a declining rate of infections or very few new infections there's less of a need to do more testing? That's the critical difference.
@@gloriaa2817 we are number 17, which is not great. and when you compare it to the case loads, the reason we are even going up, is because the cirus is basically non existant in most other places anymore.
@@MollTheLioness Yes, of course. It was obvious. person, man, woman, camera, tv - this were, I knew it, when I heard it the first time, obviously the words that first popped up in his mind. A big part of his vocabulary.
My Father in Law is a Trump supporter. We ask him, “Did you hear what Trump said about..(insert asinine thing he has said)”. My FIL replies, “Oh no, I never listen to him. I get the cliff notes from Fox News.” He wants it “filtered” through Fox News! When we tell him what he actually said, he says “Fake News!” He refuses to listen to/watch actual video. He says he can’t trust anything the other outlets put out because they doctor video and manipulate audio.
This and the replies are some of the most intelligent comments I’ve seen. Very good point. He is so easy to trip up. You can get any info if you insult his nuclear strength, he’ll tell you how many and where they are with some accuracy. Very scary.
This journalist should be elected.... Finally somebody who has the guts to go against all the lies of the lunatic... Great interview and really embarrassing for trump, although he will say that he had tremendous ratings
It completely confuses him though. He gets stuck on seeing facts only in a warped vague way. He doesn't have the capability of comparing graphs presented in different ways and then reasoning out the information to make a logical point.
David Muirs interview was pretty good, but he wasn't pushing hard enough. This guy was great. Not saying Muir was bad, just that he kind of gave up in speaking to an idiot, which is also good on Muir xD
I like this guy (Jonathan Swan) too and I hope we hear a lot more from him, but I do wonder, what politician would be brave enough to sit down to an interview with him after seeing him call Trump out like this? Almost all politicians would be terrified of this.
@@soanna473 - I blame Trump's stupidity for taking up space in my brain. It is the only time Trump ever put a woman before a man - all thanks to the physical position on a set.
Remember when he refused to put test kits out to the public? He yelled that "the more tests we do. The more cases we find" And that makes him look bad...duuuuhhh😂
Man had to aggregate global cases just so US numbers look less 😂😂🤦🏿♂️🤦🏿♂️ I mean he had to clutch at straws to make himself look better & look good, it still looks worse.
@@testlogin9716 Trump would never do anything of the sort. Frankly, I doubt he could correctly define the word, much less manage to do the math. Clearly, he had someone do it for him.
@Steve Whitford Honestly, I have to wonder about that. Is it more a lack of self awareness, or more an indication of how unaware he feels the rest of us are? I can't decide. Both seem so over represented that it's hard for me to judge.
In order to get politicians to sit for an interview, they are promised softball questions and the questions are provided to their people in advance. The same is true with talk shows- there are no gotcha questions.
Because the networks generally aren't interested in creating conflict, and they want to maintain their access to the white house. I'm sure even if Trump somehow remains Chris Wallace or this guy will never get another interview with him again.

Greetings from Australia.
Dear Vice President Biden, Although I refused to listen to it, I understand that during your presidential acceptance speech, you were calling for the unity of Trump supporters. I remember four years ago my President Trump also called for unity. I remember how Congressional members of your Democratic Party responded by boycotting his inauguration. I remember how you and your Democratic party cheated and used the greatest law enforcement institution of this country to spy on my President Trump's campaign. I remember how you and your Democratic Party created a fake Russian dossier to try and impeach my President Trump. I remember how your speaker of the house ripped up my President Trump's beautiful State of the Union speech on National TV. I remember how you and your Democratic Party tried to impeach my President Trump over a Ukraine phone call. You accused my President Trump of pay to play. Come to find out Joe, it was really you and your son Hunter. I remember how you and your Democratic Party blamed my President Trump over a pandemic that he had nothing to do with. I remember how you and your Democratic Party encouraged rioting and looting of my great United States of America. I remember how you and your Democratic Party used the media to spread lie after lie about my President Trump. I remember how you and your Democratic Party stole the election from my President Trump. This Trump supporter remembers all that Joe, and will NOT be unifying with your Democratic Party. Your abject criminal dishonesty is treasonous. You belong in prison along with the rest of the Swamp.
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.
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.
I am amazed that America have no real journalists left. Joseph Pulitzer is weeping in his grave. Unbiased journalism is almost entirely dead in the once great country of America.
When is Donald Trump going to DISAPPEAR from Morning 🌞 News? Why does the mere mention of his name make me nauseous?- Michael McClary, Professor of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College & GSU😢😮
I'm not American but i loath to watch this, getting completely torn apart by Swan. That is the kind of opposition people need to see, uncut and uncensored. It completely shows what kind of fraud and con this orange human disgrace and oxygen thief really is!
His reactions are exactly what we were feeling as we watched this. "What the $#@% is this guy ON? what manuals what books...how does this orange maniac even manage to dress himself properly...is he on drugs, what the #@$% do you mean the death toll "is what it is" omg #@%$ YOU DONALD!"
It blows my mind that it's taken four years for a journalist to do the job Swan does in this interview. He was excellent and pushed back every time Trump lied, interrupting him when he rambled: it's outrageous that it's taken this long for a journalist to _do their job_ in an interview with Trump.
You must be over 30 years old. Bullshit doesn't surprise you any longer? Live another 20 - 30 years and you'll be surprised when bullshit doesn't happen.
One attribute that continues to amaze about Trump is infinite ignorance. And the older he gets the more it grows. It's closely followed by his xenophobia and his paranoia.
Unfortunately not the entire world and not even the entire US, somehow he got elected and he keeps being supported by many who profit from his presence!
@@hilding2063 He will be your president again. Get used to the idea because there is no escaping it no matter what your liberal talking heads and fake polls tell you.
@@andrewlailvaux1571 Why are they fake polls ? Is it purely because they show Biden leading ? Even Fox News show Biden leading. What polls do you regard as "non fake" ?
The right lost their minds when 2 Americans died from Ebola and 12,000 died from H1N1 but praise 45 for his handling of a pandemic that kills 1000 Americans a day as he claims “it is what it is”. Their hypocrisy is disgusting.
@@ErictheRedCantona I guess he was stunned that it was even worse than he expected it to be anyway. Shaming on behalf of someone else... You can not call someone an idiot, if you kind of have pity on him as someone who is this seriously handicapped by narcisstic personality disorder and incompetence. I mean, everybody with a brain will think this anyway, so why bother saying it...
Jonathon Swan should receive some type of accolade or award for this interview. He utterly, completely dismantled trump using his own childish logic with calm precision, refusing to play his predictable games. Well done, sir, well done.
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.
@@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.
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.
Congratulations on your Baby. I know that I'm 4 years late commenting on this but your post have been educating me. I just recently got into this Crazy politcal world. I'm trying to get out. I've always voted. Thank You!
TheRenaissanceman65 Possibly, but I could never bring myself to watch one. However, I still squirm at the memory of the Neil - Corbyn interview before the last election.
So strange everyone is having this reaction. This is standard journalism in Australia. Even on the state-run news channel here almost every night there is a high-ranking government official being held accountable by journalists. There is even a show once per week on that channel where members of the public can ask politicians questions and have them answer live on TV.
@@gavwah I mean Australian media is way better than US media but it's not even close to perfect. 70% of media traffic in Australia is controlled by Rupert Murdoch which means it has a massive right wing bias. As a result they tend to give conservatives and easier pass and either barely communicate with left wingers or do anything other than talk about policy with them.
@@gavwah You Ausies have elections right! Everyone MUST vote there, while here in the US the Republican Party actively disenfranchises people of color ALL THE TIME. Often, they do voter purges right before an election so that the voters who get "culled" don't even have time to re-register before the election! They use a Republican (Kris Kobach) created program called "Interstate Crosscheck" to find duplicate names on the voting roles. This causes people with the same name to be culled. It's especially hard on ethnic names. I mean, think about how many people in Texas or Florida might be called Juan Jose Gonzales. It could be HUNDREDS all across the state, all different ages, and they will STILL cull them all. If the newly disenfranchised former voters are lucky they actually notice the nondescript white postcard with a couple of lines of uninteresting plain, black text on one side that tells them they've been dropped from the voter registry. The most maddening part of it is that Republicans think this is good. They don't like little D democracy because they lose if there is fairness across the board. They can't win without gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement and outright cheating, and they all KNOW IT. As LBJ (Democratic POTUS #37) once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." That is the Republican "Southern Strategy" in a nutshell. Republicans can claim not to be racist from now until the end of time, but it doesn't make their racism any less blatant and obvious to the rest of us.
Trump is not able to process information. He has his mind set and can’t hear the real truth. All he does is a circular argument that ppl with Alzheimer’s do
i got that book but havent gotten around to reading yet. still reading Stephen King's "the stand", nothing like reading a book about a DISASTROUS pandemic to make the RL crappy situation look a bit more positive.

@Kathryn Foster-martin As long as Donald Dump can use the U.S. presidency as a shield, his goons can protect him, but they can't do that once he's a civilian.
It's even more sinister than that, here's what he said: "Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I'd wish you well. I'd wish a lot of people well. Good luck." Classic mafioso language. Hmm, would be a shame if something happened to her while in jail, he muses.
He also responds better to alpha male types. The reporter didn't take any shit and was on the truth offensive so you didn't see trump explode or leave like he does when confronted by women or men that let him talk over them but get confrontational. It's in his nature I guess..that's why he demurs to people like Putin
@@jenkem4464 I would like to point out that he was trapped in that chair , didn't have the luxury of walking out on reporters , ignoring them or having secret service escort them out or calling them names , as in "fake stupid etc." Trump got his ass handed to him...
He is a confused old man who has no idea what he's talking about. But in this interview, he sounds like a third grader who got an F on a test futilely arguing with the teacher why he actually passed.
Big problem is, this is a textbook recipe on how to not get any more interviews with important government officials. Sure, if everyone did it, the world would be a better place. But if some do it, and some don't, politicians will become very conscious about which interviews they accept. And the difficult reporters will find themselves unable to do their job.
I agree. The thing is, he usually doesn't grant such interviews, I'm very surprised he did this one. Often it's just Fox News interviews with really softball questions.
MasterHigure At least this interview will be remembered in what is otherwise a sea of inconsequential interviews. I didn’t know or care who Swan was before this but you can be sure I took notice now. With a bit of luck the ball will soon be set in motion and there’ll be no hiding from the ridicule that is rightly his. But yes there is every chance that this will restrict further interviews. To be entirely honest I’m impressed someone didn’t step in and pull the plug on that interview.
Trump: "They're sending out ballots! Millions of them" Everyone else: "they're applications, not ballots" Trump: "They're sending out ballots!" Anyone who believes he is the good guy legitimately has their brain leaking out their ears...
David ,I am so appreciative of your show! Thank you for sharing the honesty and encouragement that our country needs. I will continue to watch and share with my friends. Take care
When David said that this interview would be even more damning than the one with Chris Wallace, I was skeptical. I didn't think that was possible. Nope. This interview blows that one out of the water. And keep in mind, this doofus is the president of the United States. People actually support him. If you were a manager at a McDonald's, and somebody was this incoherent in a job interview for a janitorial position, would you hire them? This guy has _nuclear weapons_ at his disposal.
If the Chris Wallace interview was a basement, this one was the sub-basement. And given an opportunity, Trump will then build a sub-sub-basement... then a sub-sub-sub-basement... then, etc.
@@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.
He's a clown who doesn't care about anybody but himself but #letsnotexaggeratetoomuchwithourhashtags.. There are people who skin or cook other people alive. Surely, they are worse?
Trump wouldn't last 10 minutes with a proper British political journalist. They would tear him to pieces. He would never have won an election because they would have demonstrated over and over that he is a moron who has no answers to serious questions.
@Anna133199 yeah they're worse. They don't deserve to live. Trump just shouldn't be president and I'm being kind. I don't think he sets out to hurt people with that being the end goal I just think he doesn't care enough not to if it gets him what he wants. Damn I'm giving strength to the argument Biden could be worse. I don't believe that you just reminded me there's worse human beings than Trump. It's sad that that's the case. They'll all support him I'm sure. He's pathetic but evil has a use for him
The same with his lick spittle followers who support and enable his every move. If the Republicans had voted honestly at his impeachment, we would not have this incapable person leading the Corovnvirus disaster.

The saddest part is this Australian-American, who has lived in the U.S. for less than a decade, knows more about the American system than the damn American president! Look at the confusion on Swan's face at 5:31 - that is the look the rest of the world has every day with the stuff Trump says.
So true. First decent interview where a reporter actually asks critical questions, too bad it comes four years too late.. American News reporters are a disgrace and embarrassment.
Homemadegameguru That look at 5:31 is also the look many of us right here in the US have every day listening to the garbage that comes out of that little anus trump calls a mouth.
Yeh we definitely need more like Swan. Trump had to work really hard to get through that, and he totally cocked it up. Shuffling those papers was like watching a child in kindergarten handing the teacher a crayon drawing. Enough already!
I missed the part where Pence, McConnell, and Graham, thank Trump for allowing them to be a part of his shit show.
hate gets you cancer,
Swan is now on Trumpy's hitlist. How long before he calls him a bad interviewer, fake and all the usual crap he spouts.

This was the worst of Trump He is obviously not understanding much.

Sadly, the same can be said for his supporters.
He looked pitiful waving his little papers around with his tiny fingers , stupid arrogant orange face - freaking moron 👎

The scary thing about Trump being president is if he was actually voted in that means we have more mindless people in the us than mindful😮
unfortunately that is true and, we CANADIANS feel sorry for you.
Yes, it IS scary 😢
He lost the popular vote twice. Its these petty Bernie Bros who stayed home in 2016 to hand the election over to Trump.
Someone once said, "You get the government you deserve". Very true.
That’s the scary part: to think that so many people are still unaware of the dangers that he poses

Thanks for airing those parts of his interview. No one can reason with him. Facts are not important, only how he perceives things.
This interviewer guy rolled up his sleeves and said to himself he’s gonna do what needs to be done. Good on him.
it's not rocket science if you have read a psychology book to make a narcissist show what they are. The press are uneducated to have taken this long for one of them to get to this point.
But didn't.!
Nothing particularly praise worthy apart from his Attempt at a real interview.
I eagerly await a journalist who flat out calls Trump an idiot to his face........oh what a priceless tv moment that would be 🤩
@@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.
@@loveinspired7 yes i agree with you, the USA press has their hands tied if they want to keep their jobs, and that is the end or real journalism. The term "fake news" has ruined truth in your country forever.

You have to pick one. Trump just gave government LESS control over your body. It's mind blowing that people still don't understand this.
His sympathy towards an alleged sex trafficker Vs his obvious distaste for a beloved Civil Rights icon serve as two windows to his soul ... such a bottomless pit
!!! He called Kapernick, a non criminal, a SOB. Somehow his standards are miraculously lowered if the person allows them on their private island. (He doesn’t want Maxwell to speak because it would incriminate him.)
Yes, but Trump shares hobbies with Mr. Epstein and besides, Epstein was filthy rich.
Spot on.
He showed more remorse for Epstein and Maxwell than for the Americans that have died from Covid-19.
Terrible people make him feel better about himself.
He is like a child, trying to persuade someone "this 1 Dollar bill is actually and most certainly definitely a Millions and Millions of Dollars-bill, believe me".

His HATRED for Black people in particular is Revealing as well as his Enormous Ego and Narcissistic views. A Old Septuagenerian CHILD.
" Well John did not attend " My inauguration " is PETTY, VENGEFUL AND RACIALLY SAD.
AMERICA CANNOT GROW, AND MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS NUTCASE AT THE HELM.

@Josh Edmonds So you don't think while speaking at a civil rights activist's funeral, its disrespectful to speak about the causes the person fought their entire lives for.

Every journalist should question and confront any politician with data and facts.
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.
@@gloriaa2817 why is that a good thing? If we kept this under control from the beginning, we would have never HAD to do that many tests. If we didn't have so many sick people, we wouldn't NEED to conduct that much testing. He DOES. NOT. deserve credit for all the testing. 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
@@gloriaa2817 did you miss the part where it's states that when you see a declining rate of infections or very few new infections there's less of a need to do more testing? That's the critical difference.
Every journalist in the US that had the ability to ask these questions and didn't MUST RESIGN IMMEDIATELY.
@@gloriaa2817 we are number 17, which is not great. and when you compare it to the case loads, the reason we are even going up, is because the cirus is basically non existant in most other places anymore.

He says he can’t trust anything the other outlets put out because they doctor video and manipulate audio.
Absolutely devastating interview.

I couldn't imagine having to listen to this man all day,,i don't care how much he paid,,
His people give him the graphs he likes so they can't be fired.
Gigantic bar graphs made by, and appropriate for, a preschooler lol
It completely confuses him though. He gets stuck on seeing facts only in a warped vague way. He doesn't have the capability of comparing graphs presented in different ways and then reasoning out the information to make a logical point.
But Trump colored them in himself, he even managed to keep the crayon inside the lines.
That's it exactly. They know he doesn't want real facts. He just wants to be told he's best all the time.
Remarkably, they've given up with captions, scales, bullet points etc. "Want a graph? Here ya go, Mr. President. Yes, you have the best graphs"
I like this guy, Trump has met someone who calls him out on his lies.
Am I taking crazy pills or did this used to be _normal!?_
David Muirs interview was pretty good, but he wasn't pushing hard enough.
This guy was great.
Not saying Muir was bad, just that he kind of gave up in speaking to an idiot, which is also good on Muir xD
I hope he does another interview, Swan keeps it classy...and made Don sit up straight and try to close his jacket, and squirm.

@@testlogin9716 Trump would never do anything of the sort. Frankly, I doubt he could correctly define the word, much less manage to do the math. Clearly, he had someone do it for him.
@Steve Whitford Honestly, I have to wonder about that. Is it more a lack of self awareness, or more an indication of how unaware he feels the rest of us are? I can't decide. Both seem so over represented that it's hard for me to judge.
Yeah I love Johnathan faces...like dude..tf r u talkin about!
🤣😂
Why is it that US journalists can’t interview Trump like this?
Simple answer John Doe, not one journalist in this country.
Because they are all to worried about perceived personal repercussions. A little like Russians were with the KGB!
Cause journalists from abroad must be able to also interview their own not-retarded leaders... That simple
In order to get politicians to sit for an interview, they are promised softball questions and the questions are provided to their people in advance. The same is true with talk shows- there are no gotcha questions.
Because the networks generally aren't interested in creating conflict, and they want to maintain their access to the white house.
I'm sure even if Trump somehow remains Chris Wallace or this guy will never get another interview with him again.

Greetings from Australia.
Dear Vice President Biden,
Although I refused to listen to it, I understand that during your presidential acceptance speech, you were calling for the unity of Trump supporters.
I remember four years ago my President Trump also called for unity. I remember how Congressional members of your Democratic Party responded by boycotting his inauguration. I remember how you and your Democratic party cheated and used the greatest law enforcement institution of this country to spy on my President Trump's campaign. I remember how you and your Democratic Party created a fake Russian dossier to try and impeach my President Trump. I remember how your speaker of the house ripped up my President Trump's beautiful State of the Union speech on National TV. I remember how you and your Democratic Party tried to impeach my President Trump over a Ukraine phone call. You accused my President Trump of pay to play. Come to find out Joe, it was really you and your son Hunter.
I remember how you and your Democratic Party blamed my President Trump over a pandemic that he had nothing to do with. I remember how you and your Democratic Party encouraged rioting and looting of my great United States of America. I remember how you and your Democratic Party used the media to spread lie after lie about my President Trump. I remember how you and your Democratic Party stole the election from my President Trump. This Trump supporter remembers all that Joe, and will NOT be unifying with your Democratic Party. Your abject criminal dishonesty is treasonous. You belong in prison along with the rest of the Swamp.
Who are these fans of Trump ? Unbelievable !

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.

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.
@@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.
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.
...This is pretty normal is stuff in civilized countries.
Exactly!
Congratulations on your Baby. I know that I'm 4 years late commenting on this but your post have been educating me. I just recently got into this Crazy politcal world. I'm trying to get out. I've always voted. Thank You!
I once thought there could never be a worse interview than the one Prince Andrew gave. This is certainly worse.
😂
TheRenaissanceman65 Possibly, but I could never bring myself to watch one. However, I still squirm at the memory of the Neil - Corbyn interview before the last election.
"It's called science" he says, while not having a shred of a clue what science is.
He thinks science is what created the chicken McNugget.
Wonderful statement; Science must be what this racist, white suprematist, says it is. Don’t look at the facts, just believe my words.
You can’t win an argument with him because he’ll just turn around and claim ANYTHING could be a lie and his followers fall for it every time!
Well it's true. You need to leave room for that when discussing anything.
He claims everything is a lie, false info, blames it on everyone else, red flag!!!
Talking to Trump can make you vomit blood.
This journalist deserves a medal. He didn't back down.
So strange everyone is having this reaction. This is standard journalism in Australia. Even on the state-run news channel here almost every night there is a high-ranking government official being held accountable by journalists. There is even a show once per week on that channel where members of the public can ask politicians questions and have them answer live on TV.
Agree
@@gavwah I mean Australian media is way better than US media but it's not even close to perfect. 70% of media traffic in Australia is controlled by Rupert Murdoch which means it has a massive right wing bias. As a result they tend to give conservatives and easier pass and either barely communicate with left wingers or do anything other than talk about policy with them.
@@gavwah You Ausies have elections right! Everyone MUST vote there, while here in the US the Republican Party actively disenfranchises people of color ALL THE TIME. Often, they do voter purges right before an election so that the voters who get "culled" don't even have time to re-register before the election! They use a Republican (Kris Kobach) created program called "Interstate Crosscheck" to find duplicate names on the voting roles. This causes people with the same name to be culled. It's especially hard on ethnic names. I mean, think about how many people in Texas or Florida might be called Juan Jose Gonzales. It could be HUNDREDS all across the state, all different ages, and they will STILL cull them all. If the newly disenfranchised former voters are lucky they actually notice the nondescript white postcard with a couple of lines of uninteresting plain, black text on one side that tells them they've been dropped from the voter registry.
The most maddening part of it is that Republicans think this is good. They don't like little D democracy because they lose if there is fairness across the board. They can't win without gerrymandering, voter disenfranchisement and outright cheating, and they all KNOW IT. As LBJ (Democratic POTUS #37) once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." That is the Republican "Southern Strategy" in a nutshell. Republicans can claim not to be racist from now until the end of time, but it doesn't make their racism any less blatant and obvious to the rest of us.
Trump is not able to process information. He has his mind set and can’t hear the real truth. All he does is a circular argument that ppl with Alzheimer’s do
that Aussie absolutely crushed him.
And he doesn't realize it.

I read his Niece’s book. He is a carbon copy of her written description.
i got that book but havent gotten around to reading yet. still reading Stephen King's "the stand", nothing like reading a book about a DISASTROUS pandemic to make the RL crappy situation look a bit more positive.

I'm glad you noticed just how stupid Trump really is. He has no knowledge of Laws or American History. What a Putz!
Trump isn't used to being fact checked on the spot. He looks like he's getting angry.
Love it.
He is not used to it because it is not fox news
🤪🤪🤣 T-RUMPY all mad LoL
Looks like his head's about to explode.
I am surprised he did not walk away.
Trump on the alleged “Central Park Five”:
“Bring back the death penalty and kill the animals.”
Trump on Maxwell: “Stay well, old friend.”
That's code for keeping her mouth shut
His way of saying, I hope you don't die mysteriously like Epstein. A thinly veiled threat if there ever was one.
@@roberthenleynola You think he's smart enough to make a thinly veiled threat? I'm not sure...
@@BatmanFanGirl You're probably right. I gave him WAY more credit than he'll ever deserve.
@@BatmanFanGirl
I agree with you.... he is not that smart.
This...is why his lawyers refused to let Mueller interview him. He’d incriminate himself in 3 seconds 😂
That would have been interesting - torn to shreds in no time - perjury in almost every sentence...
Exactly!
He actually deposes well. There is an old video of him in a deposition, the interviewing lawyer got nothing out of him.

He said he didn't know a Russian that he's in pictures with and has an office space on his floor. That's the same one that he 'needed his glasses' and couldn't read bc he can barely read--and doesn't wear 👓 glasses🤣
@@nadtz Honestly he used to be much more capable, could talk almost eloquently and stay on point. Those days are long gone though. Mueller would have eaten him alive.
He (Trump) is a raving lunatic. I sit listening to these podcasts and I'm so glad I live in Canada. I really feel sorry for the people of the USA.
You suck
Unfortunately, only people of at least moderate intelligence understand how Swan destroyed Donnie. That precludes most of his base.
So true
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍YEAH !!!!!
Yeah, the dumdum base will just think he's not being " fair " to the poor widdle pwesident
@Akra Seil they hate liberal beta snowflakes that go crying to mummy. That take away our right to free speech. Trump then
@MysticKoolaid808 he's never right, because all he does is lie
He wishes Maxwell well because he was one of her customers.
Maxwell can also bigly sink Donald Dump with what she knows about his history of sex with underaged girls.
@Kathryn Foster-martin As long as Donald Dump can use the U.S. presidency as a shield, his goons can protect him, but they can't do that once he's a civilian.
gurubhai khalsa , the same thought came to me.
It's even more sinister than that, here's what he said:
"Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She's now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I'd wish you well. I'd wish a lot of people well. Good luck."
Classic mafioso language. Hmm, would be a shame if something happened to her while in jail, he muses.
As the old saying goes:
"It's hard to win an argument with a smart person, but it's damn near impossible to win an argument with a stupid person."

Stupidity can't be reasoned with. But the right questions will expose it.
Your goal isn't to convince the person you're talking to, but the people who are listening to you.

I can’t. I just can’t. Was it a skit?! Jesus! Jonathan Swan and Trump was like a comedic duel!
It would be funny if they weren’t talking about actual deaths. Families morning. The president of the US - “it is what it is”? Wtf? 🤦🏻♀️
Jane A I agree with you, Jane
who's on first?
Reality is to real to be funny
OMG🤣🤣
I’ve always wondered why every interview with Trump isn’t like this. Corporate media journalists don’t push back this much. They should.
Yes they should.
He also responds better to alpha male types. The reporter didn't take any shit and was on the truth offensive so you didn't see trump explode or leave like he does when confronted by women or men that let him talk over them but get confrontational. It's in his nature I guess..that's why he demurs to people like Putin
@@jenkem4464 I would like to point out that he was trapped in that chair , didn't have the luxury of walking out on reporters , ignoring them or having secret service escort them out or calling them names , as in "fake stupid etc."
Trump got his ass handed to him...
I believe the other journalists are afraid they might be found dead.
Yes!! I agree!! Why??
My quote for the day;
Donald John Trump is using our children as sacrificial lambs, to get reelected. "IT IS WHAT IT IS"!
Everyone should post on his twitter #baronfirst
The definition for "it is what it is" means i don't care that these people are dying..
Notice in London England: "Americans should be accompanied by an adult."
Charles Townsend, thank God Almighty this ISN’T true of all of us 🙄.
From England, I think we genuinely feel sorry for all those Americans who didn't vote for Trump, but have to endure this.
Lol, the british don't have the right to call americans stupid, remember brexit?
If you think there's a god, it _is_ true of you.
JCavalcanti that's a matter of opinion still to be revealed 😕
Imagine Trump actually saying “all lives matter”, after saying 1k+ dead DAILY “is what it is” and disrespecting the hell out of John Lewis...
and now we got Biden.... soooooo much better than Trump... at putting people out of work.... god help us all... the Commies are in charge....for now
Trump sounds like a confused old man who has no idea what he's talking about
He is a confused old man who has no idea what he's talking about. But in this interview, he sounds like a third grader who got an F on a test futilely arguing with the teacher why he actually passed.
That interviewer is well too sharp for trump
Insulting confused old men? They aren't all idiots like this sack of fat and bronzer.
A marble would be too sharp for the disgusting bloat.
He is exactly what he sounds like.
Keep up the good work David. Trump is going crazy 🎉
This kind of disdain for the president’s nonsense should have been pulled out years earlier. Reporter is barely containing his disbelief.
Big problem is, this is a textbook recipe on how to not get any more interviews with important government officials. Sure, if everyone did it, the world would be a better place. But if some do it, and some don't, politicians will become very conscious about which interviews they accept. And the difficult reporters will find themselves unable to do their job.
I agree. The thing is, he usually doesn't grant such interviews, I'm very surprised he did this one. Often it's just Fox News interviews with really softball questions.
MasterHigure At least this interview will be remembered in what is otherwise a sea of inconsequential interviews. I didn’t know or care who Swan was before this but you can be sure I took notice now.
With a bit of luck the ball will soon be set in motion and there’ll be no hiding from the ridicule that is rightly his.
But yes there is every chance that this will restrict further interviews. To be entirely honest I’m impressed someone didn’t step in and pull the plug on that interview.
Got him by the balls he knows that women very well how do you think he met his wife.she was there in her house.
But here's the scary thing. I guarantee that Trump supporters watched this and thought he aced the interview.
This interview just illustrates how unfit for office he really is.
And for anything else...His even a bad salesman!!! He can’t even sale us his votes!!!! 🤣😂🙀
Hello how are you doing
The idiot just make up words and just throws it in. And when he can't answer the question, he goes in criticize mode.🤵🏼🤪💫👈🏾🤭
@@Gen965 make up words? So you admit you can't read? Cause pretty sure everyone here knows what he is asking.

Actually they’re sending out trillions of ballots.

David ,I am so appreciative of your show! Thank you for sharing the honesty and encouragement that our country needs. I will continue to watch and share with my friends. Take care
When David said that this interview would be even more damning than the one with Chris Wallace, I was skeptical. I didn't think that was possible.
Nope. This interview blows that one out of the water.
And keep in mind, this doofus is the president of the United States. People actually support him. If you were a manager at a McDonald's, and somebody was this incoherent in a job interview for a janitorial position, would you hire them? This guy has _nuclear weapons_ at his disposal.
If the Chris Wallace interview was a basement, this one was the sub-basement. And given an opportunity, Trump will then build a sub-sub-basement... then a sub-sub-sub-basement... then, etc.
*I gotta stop asking Trump supporters: "How stupid can you be?"*
*They seem to see it as a challenge.*
To them its a badge oh honor,being that stupid and ignorant.
Trump supporter: Hold My Beer.
They have to stop and think about it.
That's funny 😎
No, the Trumpchump challenge is they have to take a nap in their running car in a closed garage to prove pollution isn't real.
"America is last, which means we're first, we're the best." I'm speechless.
Little did he know how truly he spoke there. Trumpian logic brilliantly distilled into 10 words.
Tbf he probably means we're the last in a negative category.
@@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.
I argued that point with my track and field coach, i said i was last so im best, ....he didnt buy it either!
Shows Trump in his true light, a completely clueless muppet
I'm angry that other interviewers didn't hold his feet to the fire like Swan. He's been given far too many passes.
#TrumpIsTheWorstHumanAlive
He's a clown who doesn't care about anybody but himself but #letsnotexaggeratetoomuchwithourhashtags.. There are people who skin or cook other people alive. Surely, they are worse?
Trump wouldn't last 10 minutes with a proper British political journalist. They would tear him to pieces. He would never have won an election because they would have demonstrated over and over that he is a moron who has no answers to serious questions.
@Anna133199 yeah they're worse. They don't deserve to live. Trump just shouldn't be president and I'm being kind. I don't think he sets out to hurt people with that being the end goal I just think he doesn't care enough not to if it gets him what he wants. Damn I'm giving strength to the argument Biden could be worse. I don't believe that you just reminded me there's worse human beings than Trump. It's sad that that's the case. They'll all support him I'm sure. He's pathetic but evil has a use for him
@@philb4462 Too right. They don't suffer fools gladly
