“Trump’s flailing interview with Axios, which offered no shortage of jaw-dropping bits, Jonathan Swan asked Trump, for instance, how history would remember John Lewis; Trump said ‘I don’t know’ because he didn’t know John Lewis – I guess in the same way Republicans suddenly ‘won’t know’ Trump after November 4th.
Trump also claimed the coronavirus pandemic – which has killed nearly 160,000 Americans to date, has gutted the economy, kept schoolchildren home and sent unemployment soaring – is ‘under control’. What? You’re not controlling it at all. You’re handling the pandemic the same way parents handle a third child.
As for Trump’s ‘it is what it is’ shrug at the coronavirus death toll Meyers had few words. God, he’s like the last resort friend you confide in during the break-up. (Meyers as Trump): ‘Yeah it’s sad but it is what it is … can we get back to me?’”

“A magisterial collection. A combination of Bukowski’s Last Night On Earth and Orwell’s 1984.”
