@@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.
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.)
very good point. the Central Park Five, trump was like "lock them up anyway they must have done something." but this lady "hey innocent until proven guilty." hmmm.
He didn't wish it, he took out several full page ads in the paper and outright demanded their deaths and to this day has refused to apologize for it. "I wish her well" is clearly code for "stay quiet and I'll get you out" since he is most likely one of her clients and doesn't want her talking (and another "oh the cameras stopped working, his cellmate was gone and the guards went missing so he hanged himself" accident would be much to suspicious)
@@blackgold63 She won't, its a little hard to claim a second set of several screwups just happened to coincide on the same day leading to the suicide of another high profile suspect in the same case. It made no sense the first time (which is why people believe it was an assisnation), a second would prove foul play in both cases. Hence the coded "stay quiet" message
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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. Anyone watching this interview is going to conclude (rightly) that Trump is either a liar or an idiot (or both, lol).
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.
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.
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!
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.
@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.
There's an actual alpha male not taking any shit from a desperately insecure lonely man. Trump supporters should go to Australia. The banter would make them cry
Bladerunner 1986 Mate I am crying, rolling on the floor with tears streaming down my cheeks! And no, we don’t want him here, that’s why we have the internet and social media 🤣🤣🤣🤣
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!
Not true. India's pretty bad rn Edit : I feel like any country with a some kind pf right wing leadership will always have media that behave like they're behaving in the US and India
@@wren4077 of course there are other examples where the press don't challenge the government, and examples of countries that are worse. But the reality is the press in the US is very weak. They don't challenge the administration on a regular basis or in a meaningful way and although the US touts that it has a free press the industry doesn't behave like it.
@@carlena4300 I agree. And i would like it if someone could give me an example of other cases but I dont see this happening in any countries othwr than the ones w right wing leadership Leftist leadership has its own caveats but media that doesn't work as a pillar as its supposed to, does not seem to be one of them.
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.
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
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.

It also makes it less clear that you are a brain-dead Trump-ette or a Russian troll.
@@tonycollinsworth7393 Sooo.. the institution of mail-in vote used since the civil war and actually the reason why Trump won in 2016 is suddenly a problem? How so? What changed?
The people that voted for him honestly believe that Democrats are devil worshipers. Democrats allowed gay marriage and abortion, two critical issues for republicans.
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 😁
Trust me he knows and his people will tell him whether he likes it or not. The problem is he's not going to care anymore which is dangerous and that's why he's been on this mail-in ballot bs and will continue to call out Biden's "low cognitive abilities" crap even though he's the one with the lowest IQ of any president ever known in history. It's really sad and pathetic.
@@metfreak100 He definitely understands Anger and Frustration. He chooses to suppress the more humane emotional range like empathy and sympathy. His father, Freddy Sr, taught him to NOT Feel Only to Crush (and have no mercy) that doesn't mean donnie can't comprehend it. He just refuses to acknowledge it.
@@KnowTrentTimoy no, he really does not have the emotional intelligence to feel humiliation. In his mind he killed the interview, in his mind he is the best president ever, and he really believes it. He is the classic sociopath.
Millions have been calling him out for decades. It's just rare he sits for an actual interview like this and allows it to see the light of day. He usually just takes his ball and goes home while decrying "Fake News! Fake News!"
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.
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
@Audrey Paulus I had a good hearty laugh watching this.... but honestly, I felt ashamed on behalf everyone who has ever been ashamed of Donald Trump!😁😁😁😁 Some parts made me cringe...

@@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.
TRY 81 MILLION! 🤣 I was saying that the Socialists/Communists we’re going to use those Covid mail in ballots to cheat on the election all throughout 2020 and sure enough they did that was so obvious. The question is how will they cheat in 2024? We already know that the 5 million illegal aliens that they have let flood across the border -they will want to allow them to vote which is illegal (MARK MY WORDS)! But they can’t use another virus. Trump should’ve commented on the chart, showing the mail in ballot dump in the middle of the night the day after the election - that type of chart coming from behind, only happens in socialist dictatorships! They can’t use the volume of mail in ballots that they did last time and we will watch to make sure the dominion voting machines are not online so they’re gonna have to come up with another trick. I have volunteered to stakeout ballot boxes in the middle of the night so they don’t stuff these ballot boxes like they did last time. But communists/Socialists have always been shifty when stealing elections all down through history!!!
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

@@Tron-Jockey In China they know that Trump is an idiot. Because of the pathological capitalism in China (even worse than in the US), some people admired him. But he also lost his fans there.
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.
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.
He can escape to oz and has the protected of the Australian goverment, your journalists have to live in the usa and might be protected by the us goverment or not as that depends on the whims of trump
I think it only works if you have a non-celebrity, relatively unknown journalist from a network that trump can't bash and make a target. The journalist also has to sound sympathetic, and be a white male, so Trump can't shift the target, use misdirection and red herrings.
I completely agree with you. Many are probably afraid of being called fake news, but it's their job to ask questions that are softball are hardball and it's Trump's job to answer them.
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

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.
Exactly , in general the USA journalists have been willingly impotent with a cock-eyed reverence towards to position of president. This could have been legitimately happening right from the start with openly calling him out in public to his face about the inauguration crowd or lack of it Hopefully now the gates are open and we can see more Spartacus moments from them all.
Lyn W -It took an Australian to finally have the guts to stand up to this disgraceful man. I’m not an American but I’ve been waiting for an interview like this.
Yes!! I have always been so frustrated by trump constantly claiming “Lots of people are saying it,” or “They are all saying it,” or any other stupid thing he says like that. I don’t understand how he’s never, until this interview, apparently, been asked to clarify who all those people are! Seems to me it would be a question as soon as trump says something like that. Glad this reporter asked, but of course trump would never clarify. All of those “they” or “lots” are the voices in his head. They don’t exist outside of him.
oh,,, have you not seen ol slow joes interviews... he just gets angry and leaves when the questioning gets too close to the truth..... a True Political Hack and Crook... and trying to bring in socialism... disgusting..

Same here. It was painful to watch, but at the same time, a little bit refreshing that someone pushes back so much in an interview against this guy. This needs to happen more often, and preferably even more aggressively.
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.
Frederic Alden @eddyvideostar It’s the DrmocratIC party. ‘Democrat’ is a noun, DemocratIC is an adjective. Please use the terms properly. The GOP and others refer to the Democrats who are registered to vote in the ‘Democrat’ party as an epithet. Thus picked up in usage to my ears with Donald Trump’s appearance in politics in 2015. Now it seems everyone has jumped on his bandwagon. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Democrat_Party_(epithet) Actually, those who use the noun Democrat, like ‘Democrat party’ instead of the correct adjective ‘Democratic party,’ show their lack of knowledge of or care for the English language. Possibly they simply don’t care and their laziness shows through in speaking or writing English correctly. For the record, I’m not a Democrat; I’m an an Independent.
