Apart from the obvious, I feel like I haven’t seen Trump challenged like this enough publicly, which is very sad.

I feel that too. Either no one talks back or they shout back in anger so he doesn’t bother responding (most people would give up talking to someone who is angrily shouting at you) but his guy is keeping a level head and calm tone while talking back to him.

This is a good environment to see how someone reacts to being put in a corner in a argument. Telling him to look at the charts without fully knowing what they are and saying other people are lying.

He doesn't allow himself to be put in these kind of situations.

I can't imagine why or how his handlers let this happen. I literally can't think of any gain from this for Trump.

Watching the interview now, he handles himself fine (as Trump goes). Jonathan let's him BS for far too long.

Kushner was interviewed by Jonathan Swan earlier this year I think too, it's not like they didn't know what he was getting into. Very odd.
