<\/a>By Nikki Slusher<\/strong><\/p>\nOn Sunday Fox News\u2019 Chris Wallace sat down with President Donald Trump to discuss a variety of topics. In case you missed it, the interview felt like a skit straight off Saturday Night Live. It was almost too comedic to be true. We are now almost four years into Donald Trump\u2019s presidency and he still manages to shock the world time after time. The interview was bizarre to say the least, mostly due to the President\u2019s responses. At one-point Wallace referenced some of the President\u2019s \u201cmean tweets\u201d to which he replied: \u201cI\u2019m not a big fan of Fox, I\u2019ll be honest with you.\u201d I want to point out that this was one of the more surprising comments since for most of his first term Donald Trump has praised Fox News. <\/p>\n
The cluster foxtrot did not end there. The Cheeto in Chief claimed that he did not care about the military\u2019s perspective on renaming its bases that currently hold the title of former Confederate generals. In tweets posted prior to his interview with Wallace, the President even threatened to defund the military if they continued to push for changing the bases\u2019 names. This is not surprising, after all he did give Russia top-secret intelligence and ignore reports of bounties they placed on our troops. When Wallace took time to touch on the fact that Trump is trailing in every poll behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, he simply replied \u201cI\u2019m not losing, because those are fake polls.\u201d Fake news, fake polls, fake everything. If we were to take a shot every time the President claimed something was fake, we\u2019d be filling the hospitals with alcohol poisoning and COVID-19 cases.<\/p>\n
Trump also bragged about how well he did during a cognitive test he recently took and claimed Chris Wallace, Joe Biden, and pretty much everyone else he deems \u201cstupid\u201d would not be able to achieve such an accomplishment. Wallace even rebuked this claim stating he and his Fox crew had also taken the same test and passed with flying colors. The President\u2019s response was that Wallace was giving viewers a \u201cmisrepresentation\u201d on his achievement. Additionally, the doctor who developed it commented that the 10-minute examination is used to measure strengths of one\u2019s cognitive functioning is not an IQ test, but supposed to be easy to help physicians identify signs of Alzheimer\u2019s and Dementia since it is \u201cvery sensitive for early impairment.\u201d Basically, if you can identify an elephant and name multiple words that start with the letter \u201cf\u201d in a minute then you too can ace the same exam. I want to joke around and say the President studied very hard for this test, but I am honestly more surprised he took it himself.<\/p>\n
The antics did not end there. In another awkward segment the President blamed the increase of violence in major cities was due to the Democrats. He supported this claim on how it is \u201ctotally out of control\u201d and the Democratic presidential nominee stood with Senator Bernie Sanders on wanting to defund and abolish the police. Chris Wallace took this time to fact-check the President, something we are aware he despises, that the unity platform Joe Biden supports does not want to defund the police. After a few hand flails, an \u201cOh really?\u201d, and one of his staffers bringing a copy of the charter to him, Wallace told Fox News\u2019 Bill Hemmer that Trump \u201ccouldn\u2019t find any indication \u2013 because there isn\u2019t any \u2013 that Joe Biden has sought to defund and abolish the police.\u201d As this clip had gone viral a few days prior to the full interview\u2019s premiere, in his accustomed fashion the President tweeted that Joe Biden \u201cwants to defund our police. He may use different words, but when you look at his pact with Crazy Bernie, and other things, that\u2019s what he wants to do. It would destroy America!\u201d<\/p>\n
The pinnacle part of this interview was when Wallace grilled him on the ongoing prevalent issue of coronavirus that is plaguing the country. When presented with the facts that we have over 3.1 million cases and 140,000 deaths due to COVID-19, the President became overly defensive and combative. Regarding the mortality rate, he insisted that the US has \u201cone of the lowest in the world\u201d to which Wallace simply replied, \u201cThat\u2019s not true, sir.\u201d After some more flailing, demands that White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany brings him the numbers, and standing by his claim that the US was \u201cnumber one in lowest mortality rates\u201d, Trump waved a piece of paper ending with \u201cI hope you share this on air, because it shows what fake news is about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trump shut down ideas that he may regret not implementing a national mandate to wear masks while ending the dialogue saying he is a \u201cbeliever in masks\u201d and believe they are good. *Record scratch* yup, he really said that. Continuing to minimize the pandemic, the President\u2019s comments became more outlandish with every question. \u201cI\u2019ll be right eventually,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt is going to disappear. I\u2019ll say it again, it\u2019s going to disappear, and I\u2019ll be right.\u201d When Wallace pressed this statement by asking if Trump\u2019s past commentary on the virus disappearing, which have so far been proven fictitious, Trump proclaimed \u201cI don\u2019t think so, you know why? Because I\u2019ve been right probably more than anybody else.\u201d Sharing his thoughts on these responses after sitting down with the President, Wallace said \u201cBoth in terms of policy and in terms of politics\u2026he\u2019s sitting there saying, \u2018Well the only reason we have more cases is because we have more testing.\u2019\u201d Wallace also noted that currently more Americans trust Biden over Trump with handling the virus.<\/p>\n
The whole interview really confirmed that the President lives in a concocted, mythical utopia. Full of absurd answers, constant refutations, and eccentric baffling the only feelings I had after watching is that I am more confused than I was prior to this interview. If we were to run the country under the President\u2019s current presumptions there would be less testing, constant push of fictional storylines, and everyone who could identify an elephant would receive five gold stars. The matter of fact is that this interview only perpetuates how incompetent our current President and the people in his Administration supporting these ideas are. We must continue to push for citizens to vote this November and support each other so that America can finally close it\u2019s chapter on the nation\u2019s greatest disaster, Donald Trump.<\/p>\n
