“Everybody is talking about this, clips of Trump’s more-disturbing-than-usual interview with Axios on HBO ricocheted across the internet on Monday. The 37-minute sit-down interview, released just weeks after his widely panned outing with the Fox News anchor Chris Wallace, was so bad it made his coronavirus briefings look good.
It was such a disaster that at one point, Fema showed up and wrapped Trump in a foil blanket. It also generated a slew of memes, as reporter Jonathan Swan reacted in confusion to Trump’s floundering attempts to defend, with print-out graphics, America’s supposed superiority in containing the coronavirus.
Swan rebutted Trump’s claim that the pandemic was under control – ‘How? A thousand Americans are dying every day?’ he said, to which Trump replied: ‘They are dying, that’s true. And it is what it is.’ It is what it is? You’re the president of the United States! You’re not Paulie Walnuts delivering bad news to Tony Soprano. At funerals, when everyone says ‘my condolences’, Trumps says, ‘It is what it is.’
Later in the interview, Trump riffled through what appeared to be, judging by Swan’s expression, nonsensical charts, thus resembling every dad looking at Ikea instructions.” —Jimmy Fallon
