Politics: President Trump’s Axios Interview

article image placeholder"They are dying. That’s true. It is what it is." Trump’s Axios interview was a disaster.
It seems that there's been a pretty pronounced voice of the majority of the American public that are a bit worried at the way things are currently being handled. They want decisive action, and a lot of people don't feel like we're getting it. I'm curious to hear your thoughts on this interview and particularly on President Trump's responses to a lot of the questions fielded his way. Do you feel like he did himself any justice? Do you feel like he dodged a lot of the questions?

There is no doubt about anything in his mind, but he's not listening to the people even around him, much less the journalists ignore. The journalists listen to advisers. He's filled the room with people who are going to say, yes, you're right. And anyone close enough to him with actual information, he's not going to accept it. And we're just on this crash course now. So we Hawver very serious concern, and he is not taking anyone any more seriously than normal

When there's statistical data that shows how much more likely it is for someone who is black to be wrongfully murdered by the police, then it is white people just so frustrating to me to hear that and to see him say it so casually. That being said, there's also another great conversation going on right now that average Joe started about this conversation as well that digs into some of the other areas. So I'm going to link it here if anyone wants to join that conversation as well

Yes. I think that he did an awesome job. You know, there's many people don't have to like to I know John Lewis was is black, but you necessarily didn't favor them, and that to me, is okay. I am black. I don't have to like every black person. It's the virus goes, I think it's right on track, and I believe it's up to each state to handle their own response to it
