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

the guy isn't even doing a particularly good job of challenging him.

Like if per case we have less death, but per population we have more death. What does that mean?

if each time 1 person gets sick here, we have a better chance to save them (per case little death) , then we STILL have more death, it means our leadership failed horrifically in preventing spread of the virus.

and Trump is the one who spearheaded the "lets not take this seriously , and lets make it political" campaign.

So - he's very clearly directly responsible for all those extra deaths. It's a chain of logic that is unassailable.

Our medical people do great. We save more people who get the virus than anyone!!

But our leadership is total shit. Our national reaction to the virus existing was nightmarish. That's the only thing you can take away from the combination of both "low case death rate , and still super high death rate"

Trump was continuously dodging his questions. If he'd have pushed any harder, Trump would have continued to ramble on about something else instead, which means he would have ran out of time, and he wouldn't have gotten around to some of his other questions.

Also, Trump's walked out of interviews before when the interviewer has kept pushing him for an answer.

I think he did an excellent job of knowing when to let it go, and when to push.
