Swan is an Aussie journalist living and working here in the US. Below is the full interview he had with Trump on HBO. Unlike many other journalists, Swan doesn't back down and challenges Trump on several issues. Trump admits that his NH rally was not canceled because of the weather as previously reported but because of concerns about the virus. He also dismisses the number of dead by saying "it is what it is" - no empathy for the dead. When Swan later brings up Ghislaine Maxwell and says she was arrested for aiding child sex trafficking, Trump's immediate response is "So what?" So what?? What is that supposed to mean??
Trump also insists that the videos of the Navy vet who was assaulted and beaten by federal goons were "fake news" - as Swan points out, it's on video, but Trump seems to deny it ever happened.
Watch the interview. Those who believe Trump can do no wrong will not be impressed, but the rest of us can see what he really is - a narcissist with no grip on reality.
