Because the president didn’t have the luxury of calling on another reporter, he was forced to at least attempt to clarify his nonsensical arguments, like why the percentage of the American population that has died due to COVID-19 complications isn’t really that important. He could not do this, of course, and the result was one of the most incoherent, depressing, and flat-out embarrassing interviews of Trump’s presidency.

realdonaldtrump: “You can’t do that.” ... When Swan points out that only 300 people in South Korea have died, out of a population of over 50 million, Trump says, “You don’t know that,” implying the nation is lying about its death rate.

It was an objectively bad interview. I’m hoping he was just tired.

You just suggested that Trump might be demented. That’s all I need to know about you.

He retweets a lot, doesn’t seem to be slowing down at all. And most of them are Trump. When you see it’s “twitter for iPhone” it’s Trump.
