The interview started off with Trump and Jonathan Swan discussing the coronavirus pandemic in the United States. Despite the ongoing surges in new cases and a human death toll that surpasses other nations, Trump continued to speak well of his administration’s handling of the pandemic. When challenged on the death toll, Trump’s response was, “it is what it is.” “I think it’s under control,” Trump said to Swan, to which he replied, “How? A thousand Americans are dying a day.”Love The Rickey Smiley Morning Show? Get more! Join the The Rickey Smiley Morning Show Newsletter

Maxwell is the former girlfriend and alleged accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, who died in jail after being hit with federal charges on child sex trafficking. When Swan questioned why Trump wished Maxwell well, considering her charges, Trump responded: “Well, first of all you don’t know that. Her friend or boyfriend (Epstein) was either killed or committed suicide. She’s now in jail. Yeah, I wish her well. I’d wish you well. I’d wish a lot of people well. Good luck. Let them prove somebody was guilty.” Maxwell faces charges of enticement and conspiracy to entice minors, as young as 14, to travel to engage in illegal sex acts, transportation and conspiracy to transport minors with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and two counts of perjury. She has denied these allegations. Along with wishing Maxwell “well” and refusing to give John Lewis any kind of praise, Trump also gave his familiar spiel of how he’s done more for Black Americans than any other president. He said he’s done more than any POTUS “with the possible exception” of Abraham Lincoln. Friendly reminder that this is the same president who pushed racist conspiracy theories about former President Barack Obama, the same president who has yet to adequately address the grief and rage many Black people feel concerning police violence, the same president who privately referred to some African nations as “sh**hole countries,” and the same president who condemned protests against police brutality from mostly Black NFL players. Friendly reminder that in a January Washington Post-Ipsos poll, more than eight in 10 Black Americans also believe Trump is racist. Yet, Trump still continued to gloat about passing the First Step criminal justice reform act (which has been criticized by activists) and signing a bill that funds Historically Black Colleges and Universities as a way to argue his graciousness to the Black community.
