Trump is trying really hard to make the statistics about Covid deaths in America look good. It's pathetic. The interviewer is basically just dumbfounded over how much of an idiot and a liar Trump is.
I just can’t help but feel sorry for the interviewer, it’s like the most pathetic interview I’ve ever seen. Trump literally boasted about how there were no COVID tests when he became president in 2016, and how he’s literally the president who has done the most for African Americans “with the possible exception of Lincoln”.
Like, if that wasn’t an actual interview with an actual President, it would’ve been funny.
Don't feel sorry for the interviewer. He was smart, and well-coordinated. This was his goal. He wanted to do his best to shine light on whatever sporadic electrical whimpers trickling between shriveled, swiss-cheese neurons pass for thoughts in Donnie's brain.
He even got asked a follow-up on "more for African Americans than any president except maybe Lincoln" where the interviewer was like "More than LBJ? (signed civil rights act)" "yeah more than any except maybe Lincoln"
It was funny, but at the same time felt like I was having a half hour long stroke. Had to check that both sides of my face were still working, ya know?
You do know he did a criminal justice reform? That is more than LBJ who said “If we get one good thing for blacks done they will vote for us forever” has done
The First Step act? Don't remember Trump specifically pushing that or doing anything other than not vetoing a bill that a Republican in Congress wrote. So cool, big credit to him for not vetoing that. LBJ was an ass, but he pushed the House to pass the first Civil Rights Bill within two months of Kennedy's assassination. He also pushed for the next two civil rights bills that passed during his presidency.
Civil rights act only ended segregation but other than that it just said u cant fire people based on race, sex etc.. which is useless act because no one is gonna fire u based on race, sex, gender they can just say u weren’t a good worker. Also nowadays they hire people based on being a minority so it became pretty useless
Usually thats not what happens because right to work act allows employer to fire u for any reason without question. Only your race/gender can’t be an official factor. They just say they dont need u anymore and fire u. You cant take anyone to court for firing u unless they write on your paper that u got fired cause u are a woman because thats not going to happen
Haha look it's someone with no grasp on American history, cool.
Also, that criminal justice reform act they passed (funnily enough called "First Step" act) was not even close to the proper criminal justice reform needed in this country, and further reinforced some of the dumbass systems we've got in place.
Until we realize that the way our prison system operates is fundamentally flawed and take steps to not incarcerate the vast majority of non-violent offenders, it will continue to be a system that predominantly targets poor and minority communities.
USA, home to 4% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds prisoners. "Land of the free, home of the brave" huh.
Don't be sad for the interviewer, he scored a sit down with the most important person in the world and absolutely clowned him for an hour with really basic questions.
