“There were several disturbing clips from Trump’s White House interview with Chris Wallace, ‘the only reporter at Fox News who isn’t trying to become the next press secretary’, in what was pretty much a masterclass in how not to let Trump get away with his usual bullshit.
For example, at one point, Trump claimed the Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden wants to defund the police as a campaign platform, though there’s no evidence for that; when pressed by Wallace to show him the language in Biden’s platform, Trump sputters.
Oh man, I don’t care how many times I watch it: it is priceless seeing Trump flail around, trying to find a fact that he made up. Later, when asked about renaming military bases named after Confederate generals – a bipartisan effort in Congress – Trump attempted to deflect with the bases’ roles in America’s ‘two beautiful world wars’.
OK, I’m sorry, what? Two ‘beautiful’ world wars? This dude really can objectify anything. That is such a dumb thing to say that they didn’t even think to put it on the cognitive test.” —Trevor Noah
