jonathanvswan What makes you think that?

jonathanvswan Swan's facial expression suggests true disappointment and pity in some respects toward Trump. Would be interesting to know Swan's impressions of Trump's qualifications to continue in the role of President of the United States.

cgrinage13 jonathanvswan He's not confronting reality, PERIOD! That's what the republican party wanted!!! Look at all the judges they have under their belt now..And there's more that they need before they're done

jonathanvswan The reality is that Covid-19 is real but the numbers are fake! Only an idiot believes that 150,000 Americans have died from it! We haven’t had a single flu death in four months! Averages tell us we should head between 20,000-40,000 flu deaths!

jonathanvswan

jonathanvswan If all of these Republican 'Patriots' were actually knowledgeable about history, they would realize that Trump is King George: - delusional - insane - out of touch

jonathanvswan He never has.. Confronted reality

jonathanvswan The reality is, that even with the atrocious death tolls from NY,NJ, and PA nursing homes, the Mortality Rate has gone from 24% to 3%.... Just think if the death pool didn’t have the figures from those 3 states, 55K or 1/3 of the total of the 160K deaths.

jonathanvswan Remember when he banned travel from China and was called a racist? Sanders, I-Vt., conspicuously insisted at a Fox News town hall that he wouldn't consider closing the U.S. border to prevent the spread of coronavirus, before condemning what he called the president's xenophobia

jonathanvswan The media these days doesn't care about reality, they care about their narratives.

jonathanvswan Jonathan that was a wonderful sit down with OOO-45. I can’t believe that you were able to do this in all sincerity. Thank you.

jonathanvswan So Trump himself is the epitome of fake news.

jonathanvswan Dude is gonna get raked over the coals by Trump chumps, which is the perfect opportunity for him to go on the JonahRemnant for a good rational discussion.

jonathanvswan Its a an act. Trying 2 manipulate his hard-core base.

jonathanvswan Thank you Mr Swan but that's not news to any of us. However, we were glad to see you push back, something that American journalists should have done relentlessly for the last 2 yrs but didn't. Well, better late than never.

jonathanvswan Instead of trying to save Americans he instead is trying to sell to Americans.

jonathanvswan Jonathan must be hoping for another interview (Good luck with that!), as this is the most polite way of saying, 'That lyin'MoFo be stupido AND crazeeee!'

jonathanvswan Wake up , There Is No Pandemic . The Numbers are Bull . And Herd Immunity is the only outcome . OPEN AMERICA. TO SLOW THINGS DOWN WILL COST MORE LIVES .

jonathanvswan Millions of American agree with you!

jonathanvswan Reality is according to many countries together in Europe our numbers are better in this deadly virus according to the news Testing and other important things Of course a single death is too many

jonathanvswan Translation: He lies. About everything.

jonathanvswan At Trump , everyone else is always to blame. That's been the case all his life.

jonathanvswan Ummmm Duh!

jonathanvswan Trump is making up reality as he goes. I feel like that’s dangerouser. Since he is pretty good at media, esp 🤷🏻‍♀️

jonathanvswan Bravo to Swan! Best campaign ad ever! He is so transparent, thanks for not taking his crap.

jonathanvswan One of the biggest smug know it alls on tv show some humility

jonathanvswan when a President can not form sentences and bases all his exchange on pictures other prepared for him, it is time to go. America starved for Leadership. NOT ItIsWhatItIs

The 7 Craziest Things Donald Trump Said in His Axios InterviewThe interview was an outrageous, confusing, delusional, and enraging half-hour journey as Jonathan Swan presses the president on the nationwide COVID-19 death toll (which he dismissed), Black Lives Matter and John Lewis (both of which he also dismisses), and delaying the election (he doesn’t quite rule it out). How anyone could watch that video and think Trump is fit for ANY leadership position is beyond me. What a disaster Ha! Gotcha! 🙄 we got him! Look at how bad orange man is he did bad interview our plans have succeeded!

Fact check: Another Trump briefing, more Trump falsehoods on coronavirus and mail-in votingPresident Donald Trump's Monday afternoon appearance in the White House briefing room was replete with the now-familiar Trump fare: dishonestly upbeat assessments of the pandemic situation, a series of inaccurate claims related to mail-in ballots and exaggerations about his own accomplishments. Here are the facts. Analysis: CNN is not journalism. They are an advocacy group for the DNC. Just a goof briefing again TDS continues to overwhelm CNN!
