Trump Leans Into False Virus Claims in Combative Fox News Interview

"The president grew agitated as he was fact-checked on polling, race relations and the coronavirus response by Chris Wallace of Fox News."

"An agitated President Trump offered a string of combative and often dubious assertions in an interview aired Sunday, defending his handling of the coronavirus with misleading evidence, attacking his own health experts, disputing polls showing him trailing in his re-election race and defending people who display the Confederate flag as victims of “cancel culture.”

"The difference this time was a vigorous attempt by the host, Chris Wallace, to fact-check him, leading to several clashes between the two on matters ranging from the coronavirus response to whether Mr. Trump would accept the results of the election should he lose."

When has a president ever been asked this question? The fact it was even asked tells us he is unfit for office and a threat to our democracy.
