“I’ve heard that”: Trump’s comments on UFOs in new Fox News interview raise eyebrows
While his COVID-19 infection may have prevented Donald Trump from venturing beyond the White House walls to make campaign appearances this week, he’s tried to make up for it by scheduling numerous interviews with the few media outlets that will allow him to spew his litany of lies uncontested and address his true believers without the risk of pesky fact-checkers.
Trump continued his media barrage this morning with an appearance with Maria Bartiromo on Fox News’s Sunday Morning Futures that began with the kind of statement one usually sees in the pages of comic books when the supervillain suddenly declares that he has the unique power to destroy the defenses of whichever superhero they may be battling.
“It seems like I’m immune, so I can go way out of a basement,” Trump told Bartiromo, inserting a sneering jab at his Democratic opponent into his medical report card. “It looks like I’m immune for, I don’t know, maybe a long time, maybe a short time. It could be a lifetime. Nobody really knows,” the president continued.
As the subject of numerous criminal investigations and lawsuits, Trump seems to just love the sound of the word “immunity.”
It was the beginning of a long and bizarre interview that Vox‘s reliable reporter Aaron Rupar deftly summarized in his tweeted excerpts from the conversation which you can view below.
