For context, Trump handed him a chart of COVID statistics that looked like it was made by a 3 year old and made no sense because he said "we have less deaths than the world" and counted deaths as a proportion of cases instead of deaths by population and when Swan (the interviewer) said you need to count deaths as a proportion of population like 300 deaths per 50 million people Trump replied "you don't know that".
That Axios interview at the time was groundbreaking to see how delusional he was.
Nowadays? It's just another day of the week.
We have all been conditioned to normalize Trump's delusion by the news media. We read the news, say "Oh, wow, that's bad." And carry on with life while the world falls apart.
Its crazy that you look at Trump just in 2020, and holy shit, he looks 15 years younger.
Even if you're Conservative, you just can't avoid the reality that, much like Biden, Trump has aged incredibly fast in just a 6 year time frame. He really looks unfit with the practically ghoulish skin, the insane bruising, his inability to stay awake and sometimes is just completely incoherent- jeeze we just need to stop electing geezers.
