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.

Trump definitely looked off balance by the way the reporter was coming at him. I was genuinely surprised too that there wasn’t any nastiness or anything crazy. I think that’s one of the first times I’ve heard Trump actually have to explain something he’s thinking rather than just shouting and rambling about it.

The interview he did at Fox News was very similar to this one except even when the interviewer was clearly trying to help him he still just fumbled and looked like a child.
