2. 'What do you think of John Lewis?"

'He didn't come to my inauguration'

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

4. Seriously? That was Fat Donnie's answer?

What a petty man.

[ooky]

6. Of course. It's always about him. nt

[smirkymonkey]

12. I know! I almost couldn't believe it when it came out of his mouth.

He is like a parody of himself. He really does act like a toddler.

[Brother Buzz]

20. That, and "I never met the man"

[allegorical oracle]

22. He must keep a list of grievances so he can plot revenge when it suits -- bottomless pettiness. nt

3. Jonathan Swan's "it is what it is" train wreck of an interview

coupled with the Chris Wallace "stable genius" debacle are brutal.. this interview should run on a 24/7 talking heads loop...Swan's "are you shitting me?!!'' facial expressions are worth their weight in gold...about damn time....

5. Jonathan Swan is all of us.

7. I was wondering which answer brought about this face.

Probably all of them. Mr. Swan needs to watch a comedy quick before his expression gets stuck like that.

[PunkinPi]

8. Someone did a whole series of Swan's reactions...

[avebury]

15. That is hysterical!

9. Swan gave a master class to journaists in how to interview Dumpy

Thank you!

17. He was able to occasionally break through the non-stop blather.

with follow ups Trump couldn't ignore entirely. This counts as a journalistic triumph in 2020.

The usual method is to start with the hyperbolic generalities and never stop talking until it feels like you've exhausted the questioner. There's never any content but gaslighting: abuse, self-regard, knee-jerk ignorance, or outright lies intended to distract.

11. LOL, I think polite way to describe Jonathan Swan's reaction is "Incredulous".

I think the more accurate way to describe Jonathon Swan's reaction is, "Are You F**king kidding me?"

[Danascot]

13. I heard he had to get his jaw wired shut after the interview

because it had locked up in jaw-drop mode.

[Upthevibe]

14. I'm listening to it now....

I've only heard bits and pieces....But that look on Jonathan Swan's face says a lot...

[Rebl2]

16. He kind of

looks like he just smelled something really bad-like lying piece of you know what.

[GopherGal]

21. The sixth one in post #8 above

(numbering left to right) really looks like he got a whiff of Donnie's Depends.

Not unlike what I feel every time I hear His Lardship (or see either of his two expressions - nausea-inducing smirk or anus-mouth.)

[RANDYWILDMAN]

18. Problem is we need more Swan's...

If we had 4 or more reporters who could have interviewed Trump in 2015 like this, he never would have been the nominee. Fox and softball questions where he just bullys the reporter back and shuts them down are the problems.

19. KR!
