Just watched Trump’s Axios interview. Had to be the worst one yet.

Thread: What was the craziest part?

“One thousand Americans are dying a day. They are dying, it’s true. It is what it is”.

“We didn’t even have a test! When I took over, we didn’t even have a test!”

On using Covid-19 death as a proportion of population, “You can’t do that”.

Referencing Covid-19 charts, “Well, right here, United States is lowest in numerous categories. Uhhh, we’re lower than the world”.

On Russia supplying weapons to the Taliban to kill US soldiers in Afghanistan, “Well, we supplied weapons when they were fighting Russia too”.

“The decision to go to the Middle East and get in to the Middle East was the single biggest mistake made in the history of our country”.

“We took out in Syria, we took out ISIS. We - 100% of the Caliphate... 100%. Not 99%.”

On well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell, “Her friend or boyfriend was either killed or committed suicide in jail. She’s now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I’d wish you well. I’d wish a lot of people well”.

On unidentified/unmarked Federal Agents, “If you have names on all of these uniforms, you’ll have these maniacs in front of their houses - scaring their family”.

“Have you been watching television?”

On Black Lives Matter, “Pigs in a blanket. Burn ‘em like bacon. That was my first - the first time I ever heard of black - that was three, four years ago”.

Claiming he did more for the Black community than LBJ and questioning the importance of the Civil Rights Act.

On John Lewis, “I don’t know John Lewis. He chose not to come to my inauguration.”

“We have a new phenomenon. It’s called mail-in voting.”

“Somebody got a ballot for a dog. Somebody got a ballot for something else. You got millions of ballots going. Nobody even knows where they’re going.”

End of thread.

Sorry if I missed any. I’m sure I did.
