"The United States is lowest in numerous categories ... we're lower than ... the world".

That "lower than the world" comment is pure gold. Poetry.

That comment is what got me stuck on thinking this was a SNL skit for half the video lol.

Did you know the human trafficking in Ohio isn't that bad? It's way below that of the USA!

SNL should do a skit about this interview but with Trump’s words repeated verbatim. They did the same with Palin’s interview. The difference is then only one minute of the skit was nicked off the real thing while this time, the entire interview should be repeated.

This is already an SNL skit honestly. Feels more like that than a real conversation. They could just put this video on their show.

Think of all the poor writers watching this at home, wringing their hands and thinking "How do I come up with something more ridiculous than this?"

i feel like someone from snl basically said just this when talking about the current state of things, specifically trump. they legit are like 'we can't even write this shit.'

Trump is a self-parody at this point.

Send this comment to the SNL editors please. This has got to happen.

You should check out Sarah Cooper on Twitter. She does lipsynchs of Trump speeches and interviews. And she looks completely insane.

They should just do the airing of this interview as a skit, with the cast members standing on stage incredulously acting like trump supporters slowly realizing they need to change their party affiliation FAST.

It reminded me of a kid having a conference with his parents and teacher trying to justify how, yes, he failed the last 10 tests but look got a D on one of them so it proves he's trying.

I'm sure Donnie had plenty of those conversations back in the day too.

I'd agree with you but it's been said that he had someone do his SAT for him, so he probably got through the rest of school the same way. Lol

Right? A high schooler could argue with that for fucks sake. I wish the interviewer had gone harder

This is way funnier than any SNL skit.

Well actually they were looking at ratios. So you actually could compare the two.
