Trump Fox InterviewPosted By Mel Maki |
Biden is worse. It shows just how bad Biden is.Originally Posted by James Lacey
Mel,
The Fox interview is important because one of the central arguments that Trump is making, and by extension, many of his supporters, is that Biden's supposed mental diminishment disqualifies him. Yet, if you watch the Fox interview, it contains plenty of evidence that Trump is at the least similarly excluded.
These are only a few direct quotes from the interview, and they are a clear indication of a man who 1) does not know what he's talking about, 2) who lies so much he doesn't even know what the truth is anymore, 3) who is out of touch with reality, and 4) who was ill-prepared for the interview.
In short, it was utter rambling nonsense.
1. When asked about the cognitive test, he keeps bragging about having aced:
WALLACE: But I've got to tell you, if I may, sir, respectfully, in the Fox poll, they asked people, who is more competent? Who's got -- whose mind is sounder? Biden beats you in that.
TRUMP: Well, I'll tell you what, let's take a test. Let's take a test right now. Let's go down, Joe and I will take a test. Let him take the same test that I took.
WALLACE: Incidentally, I took the test too when I heard that you passed it.
TRUMP: Yeah, how did you do?
WALLACE: It's not well it's not that hardest test. They have a picture and it says “what’s that” and it’s an elephant.
TRUMP: No no no...
TRUMP: You see, that's all misrepresentation.
WALLACE: Well, that's what it was on the web.
TRUMP: It's all misrepresentation. Because, yes, the first few questions are easy, but I'll bet you couldn't even answer the last five questions. I'll bet you couldn't, they get very hard, the last five questions.
WALLACE: Well, one of them was count back from 100 by seven.
TRUMP: Let me tell you...
WALLACE: Ninety-three.
TRUMP: ... you couldn't answer -- you couldn't answer many of the questions.
WALLACE: Ok, what's the question?
TRUMP: I'll get you the test, I'd like to give it. I'll guarantee you that Joe Biden could not answer those questions.
WALLACE: OK.
TRUMP: OK. And I answered all 35 questions correctly.
2. When asked about the increasing number of cases, Trump responded:
I say flames, we'll put out the flames. And we'll put out in some cases just burning embers. We also have burning embers. We have embers and we do have flames. Florida became more flame-like, but it's -- it's going to be under control.
3. When asked about all his predictions about the coronavirus disappearing, he said:
I'll be right eventually. I will be right eventually. You know I said, "It's going to disappear." I'll say it again. It's going to disappear and I'll be right.
4. When asked about him saying our children's school teach them to hate America, he said:
TRUMP: I just look at I look at school. I watch, I read, look at the stuff. Now they want to change -- 1492, Columbus discovered America. You know, we grew up, you grew up, we all did, that’s what we learned. Now they want to make it the 1619 project. Where did that come from? What does it represent? I don’t even know, so.
WALLACE: It’s slavery.
TRUMP: That’s what they’re saying, but they don’t even know. They just want to make a change. Cancel culture I hate the term, actually, but I use it
WALLACE: But are they teaching people to hate America?
TRUMP: Oh, I think so yeah, I think so. Look at the professors. Look at what’s going on in the colleges. If a conservative goes on a college and look, we have as many as them. Excuse me, I think to the best of my knowledge, we’re sitting at the White House and the Oval Office is right behind me. We have as many as them.
WALLACE: Who’s them?
TRUMP: The liberal radical left, and I’m not talking all I think liberal, I could tell you I like a lot of liberal people. I like a lot of liberal governors and senators, but, but Chris, we have a radical left destructive ideology and it’s being taught in our schools.
And don’t act like you’re surprised to hear this there are books written about it, and we can’t let that go on. We can’t let them change the true meaning of what we’re all about and that’s what they’re trying to do and I don’t want it to happen. Not on my watch. It’s not going to happen on my watch.
