Someone Edited Trump's Axios Interview So That Trump Is Arguing With Himself About Testing, and the Internet Has a New Hero
Axios

President Donald Trump's interview with Jonathan Swan of Axios has gone viral for all the wrong reasons.

Trump's critics say the 30 minute interview made plain Trump's most damaging shortcomings, particularly in regards to understanding the data surrounding the pandemic that's killed over 150 thousand Americans.


One particularly tense clip, in which Swan presses Trump on the misrepresentation of death rate data, has dominated screens across the country.

Watch below.

Swan pointed out that the President was touting the death rate in terms of the number of cases, not deaths in proportion to population.

Trump responded:

"You can't do that."

What happened next was an awkward shuffle of papers and a brandishing of graphs.

Now, one clever editor Justin T. Brown recreated the video to make it appear as though Trump is arguing with himself. The video has since been shared by the prominent anti-Trump Republican group, The Lincoln Project.

The results are eerily comical.

Suddenly, Trump was in a dialogue with himself:

"You're last."
"No, but you're not reporting it correctly."

The two Trumps had the internet cackling.






The interview has now seen several edited iterations online.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
