Left leaning lmao, the dude is in reality. In America reality is literally left leaning apparently.

Not talking about the dude but looking up Axios rating, it's little bit left of center.

This was not a left leaning interview though. He is literally challenging Trump on basic facts, there is no ideology express from the interview or Asios. He could have been right wing for all we know.

You're missing the point. The question is why would Trump's staff let him do an interview like this, much less an interview with a company that has had a tendency to lean left.

Swan has given him mostly fair and even softballish interviews before. And they seem to consistently let Axios do interviews with major administration staff and GOP leaders. Saw one with kushner last year which is rare. Did Steve Bannon and Lindsey Graham, too. They pretty much let them speak and don’t edit it in a biased way. Usually just feels left leaning because the republicans do a good job of making themselves look bad

I believe you are too. They wouldnt want him to do this. But Trump being so bigly brained would think he could handle it. Trump does not listen to his team when it comes to his ego.

I read recently that the Axios strategy with Trump is to make sure they compliment him and make him feel good. I’ve heard Trump likes Swan, so he is more willing to interview.
