Do you understand what "completely" means?

So, the interviewer was incorrect on one point, and not even fully incorrect, just partially. How many times was Trump incorrect in just this interview?

I watched it yesterday. What a meltdown. This dude is a complete laughingstock. My favorite part was when he said "we didn't have a test when I came in" and the interviewer just responded "the virus didn't exist". It was especially funny since few weeks ago I made a post imitating him by saying "Obama had zero tests".

Trump is incapable to run a hot dog stand and yet 40% of Americans think he does a good job as president.

lol

All joking aside, the above comment is true though.
I have always been proud of my country and most of its people, but the last four years are an extreme embarrassment.

Completely agree!!!

Satirizing Trump is almost impossible because 2 weeks later he ends up actually saying the crazy thingbyou pretended he said for comedy purposes.

I don't think that you're so stupid to actually think that what you wrote accurately represents what Swan wrote.

Well, Trump said everyone was getting ballots in the mail.  Swan said they were getting applications.  It turns out that 95% of people get applications, and 5% get ballots, so Swan was 5% wrong and Trump was 95% wrong.

But Swan clarified and apologized, and Trump didn't, so Trump wins and Swan loses.  Woooo MAGA

I'm sure any psychologist would easily diagnose a narcissistic personality disorder with this guy. He repeatedly insisted what a great job he has done with the "China plague" and that he built, and I quote "the greatest economy in the history of the world", as well as he has done more for black America than Lyndon Johnson. The most revealing part was "John Lewis didn't come to my inauguration". He said that more than once. It was actually the only thing he had to say about an icon like John Lewis.  And by the way, Lewis also didn't attend Dubya's 2001 inauguration because he thought the 2000 election results in Florida were not legitimate. And guess what? Dubya came to his funeral regardless and gave a pretty moving speech.

Oddly enough, my kids over heard me mention the term narcissistic personality disorder. I was referring to Trump, but I don't think they heard that part of the conversation. They asked me what the term meant, so I read out the Mayo Clinic's list of symptoms and asked if that sounded like anyone we knew about. They both said oh, that sounds exactly like President Trump!

Seriously though, if you were to read every one of those symptoms and grade how well they fit Trump on a scale from 1 to 10, I don't believe there is a single one of the more than a dozen characteristics that would score as low as a 9.

About 30 minutes of it was quite strong in fact. He's had a solid turnaround over the past month or so after many, many months of disaster. Once again got owned for about 10 minutes on coronavirus semantics. There are stats that support him, but he's using very weak ones and does not understand the data himself. Should get better data people. When he speaks, it's very easy to get on board with his inspirational vision.

Have Swan and his family been put into protective custody yet?  The death threats must be overwhelming by now.
