The US President got involved in an extraordinary exchange with the HBO host as the pair exchanged statistics on COVID data reporting, with Trump stating that the USA had one of the best records in the world.
Here is a short excerpt:
Trump: “Right here, US is lowest in numerous categories. We’re lower than the world...”
Trump again, when Swan compares death as a proportion of population in South Korea to the US: “You don’t know that.”
Swan: “You think they’re faking their statistics? South Korea?”
Trump: “Errrr. I won’t get into that because I have a very good relationship with the country. But you don’t know that.“
The full interview aired on HBO.
