Chris Wallace’s interview of President Trump, which aired on Sunday, is well worth watching if you’ve got a strong stomach.
The parts about the pandemic are as terrifying as you’ve heard—a veritable catalog of unfitness, incompetence, and willful ignorance that will leave you grateful for America’s system of federalism.
But I actually thought the most interesting and telling bit of the interview was at the very end, and wasn’t about the virus. Here’s the final question and answer:
WALLACE: Whether it’s in 2021 or 2025, how will you regard your years as President of the United States?
TRUMP: I think I was very unfairly treated.
And he drones on about that for a good while, his complaints liberally salted with absurd lies and conspiracy theories.
Asked to reflect on his term so far as he seeks re-election, the president’s answer is that he was treated unfairly.
Even when he is literally invited by his interviewer to say good things about himself, all he can reach for is resentment.
