I watched this entire interview.

It's actually ok, but there are a few flaws. Main pointers:

  • A lot of the parts in the beginning with the talk about the coronavirus was just a disconnection between both of them. The two of them have two different perspectives on the coronavirus situation. The interviewer is constantly trying to push the agenda that "ohhhhh, well thousands of people are dying a day and that's a bad thing and that shows that the system is out of control", but Tramp's answers are not in relation to the emotional impacts, but the procedural ones. So the reporter's obviously trying to go for a biased angle, while Tramp answers it in a way of them explaining how he's happy with the way he and his advisors developed sort of way to keep things under control (for the most part, in my view, although not completely). The first 15 minutes of the interview is just a constant disconnection between the two parties involved whereas Tramp is trying to explain how it's procedurally under control, the interviewer's like WELL NO IT'S NOT BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE DYING. Quite disingenuous that they didn't really gauge Tramp's perspective in that scenario and instead went with the media narrative of saying WELL PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING SO THAT MEANS IT'S A BAD SYSTEM, which is stupid because people are going to die anyway because as Tramp said IT IS WHAT IT IS. Working to curb the virus will involve many lives lost along the way, no fucking shit. That's not a good argument if you want to counter Tramp talking something that was on a procedural basis, not an emotional basis. If the journalist wanted to get a good criticism or whatnot, he should've asked a procedural question, which he didn't, he asked an emotional one. One that elicits an emotional response and not a systematic response. The two constantly misunderstanding each other was an interesting sort of high.
  • Most of the interview after that is a consistent pattern of the interviewer asking the question, Tramp taking a long-ass time answering it by adding some tangential background info behind it before tying right around (when the reporter probably expects quick-ass answers and elaboration on those answers; obviously the interview format for Tramp differs from his usual way of talking), the reporter interjecting and the two interrupting over each other if the reporter sees a disconnect in his question and Tramp's explanation going on to something, but then eventually he sits back and letting Tramp explain himself as Tramp would then segway to answer the question with the background info completely explained. Letting the man ramble for a few helped the reporter come to an understanding and get satisfying answers rather than interjecting, but it's a constant pattern and both of them fall into it rather often.
  • The only really bad part of the interview in terms of Tramp's side is near the end where when asked to reflect on John Lewis, Tramp answers in the fashion of knowing him not as sort of a civil rights figure, but sort of in the fashion of an employee that didn't go to his party that one time, in this case, him saying "well, I knew him, but he didn't go to my inauguration" or yadda yadda yadda bullshit, like lol that's kinda gay and bad optics too. Who the hell cares about that in that regard, you should've known what the guy did, and even with the ideological disagreements, you shoulda at least taken respect to what he did. Better optics, but also being a genial person or public figure. But NOOOOOO HE DIDN'T GO TO MY HECKING INAUGURATION I MEAN I DON'T REALLY HECKIN CARE, BUT BLAH BLAH BLAH and you're just like, lol, what a bitch. That kinda leaves a sour taste in your mouth because it was a decent interview up until that point.
  • Also no, Tramp isn't based and redpilled, you idiots. Asked why blacks are more likely to be detained by the police, no 13/50, he took an out. Said I dunno why. I'm telling you guys, he's just like all the others, sucking the teets of the Jew. He doesn't know the secrets and if he does, he certainly doesn't express them, but I doubt he does. Politicians are out-of-touch with the public, especially old ones like him.

More to the point, he could have brought up the per capita death rate, or that the PRC is likely lying about their infection/death rate.

the interviewer says something like "i dont put any stock in china's numbers". when trump starts whining about china lying.
Then honestly Trump has a perfectly reasonable response to that question. The USA most likely does not have the most deaths because the PRC is lying through their teeth about their own fatalities. It isn't whining either, it's a perfectly legitimate point.
 
What do people want trump to have done?

Declare himself dictator and use the military to shut down every single state for 2 months and make the virus die out? Because that is seriously the vibe I get from a lot of people; they wanted and still want everything shut the fuck down and the virus eradicated. 'Flatten the curve' has been completely forgotten about. It's so fucking frustrating.

The most infuriating thing for me though is when they compare the US to other countries, and then they change which one they compare it to every 2 weeks, based upon which makes Trump specifically look worse, consistency be damned! How the fuck does that any of that work? 50 fucking states with virtually full independence to take whatever actions their leaders think are best. States with wildly different populations, population densities, demographics, and political leaders in charge. No shit the US is a mess, every state has been competing against eachother for medical resources since it started, there's been a fucking war led against promising treatments endorsed by Trump for no other reason than he mentioned them, you have politicians picking and choosing tactics based on POLITICAL AND NOT MEDICAL reasons (both parties!!!). The modelling at the beggining was all wrong. Half our beliefs about the virus when this shit started turned out wrong. Of course everything is a fucking mess.

/rant

I'm just sick of seeing so many libshit retards so desperate to gag on their own trumpian hate boners that they can't be honest for half a fucking second.
No government handled this perfectly.

No government handled it perfectly, but most handled it better.

e: why are you rating me dumb? I'm right

The US has less deaths per capita then several industrialized states, even when you fail to take into account that the PRC is lying through their teeth about their own Sideways Vagina virus statistics. I don't see anyone bitching about Belgium's response to the commie cough. Furthermore, given our large population compared to many European nations, the sheer size of the US geographically, the structure of our government, and the partisan politics that prevented the USA from fully shutting our borders and otherwise hampering the response, we've done about as well as we could be expected to do.
