Fox News reports:
Asked about the possibility of losing, Trump noted that he does not handle losing well, and may not handle it well if it happens in November. “I’m not a good loser. I don’t like to lose,” he said. “I don’t lose too often. I don’t like to lose.”
When asked if he is gracious, Trump said, “You don’t know until you see. It depends.” He then claimed that mail-in voting, which Democrats have pushed as a response to the coronavirus pandemic, “is going to rig the election.”
Asked if this means that he will not accept the election results, Trump said, “No. I have to see.” Asked again if he would accept the results, Trump said, “No, I’m not going to just say yes. I’m not going to say no, and I didn’t last time either.”
Mediaite reports:
Fox News’ Chris Wallace kicked off his interview with President Donald Trump confronting President Donald Trump on the U.S. response to the coronavirus and the mortality rate in particular. The president insisted that “we have one of the lowest mortality rates in the world” and Wallace responded by saying, “That’s not true, sir.”
The president then decided to ask aides for a chart on the mortality rate and was immediately provided with one, telling Wallace he should show the chart “because it shows what fake news is all about.”
A voiceover from Wallace explained that they “went with numbers from Johns Hopkins University which charted the mortality rate for 20 countries hit by the virus” that found the US ranked 7th, while the White House went with different stats.

“Ready? Will you please get me the mortality rate? Kayleigh is right here… I heard we have the best mortality rate” – the WH just flat out made up a chart to create a false impression that the US has the best mortality rate in the world during Trump’s interview w/ Chris Wallace pic.twitter.com/yw8QGBTRVs

My favorite part of the very good Chris Wallace interview with @realDonaldTrump:
TRUMP: “Now we have the 1619 project. What is THAT all about?”
WALLACE: “Slavery.”— David Axelrod (@davidaxelrod) July 19, 2020
Chris Wallace on the mental acuity test that Trump brags about acing: “It’s not – well it’s not that hardest test. They have a picture and it says “what’s that” and it’s an elephant.”

Chris Wallace, sharply challenging Trump’s It’s Just Testing narrative, told him, “testing is up 37 percent…Cases are up 194 percent.”
Trump: “Many of those cases are young people that would heal in a day. They have the sniffles and we put it down as a test.”

Trump to Chris Wallace in the @FoxNewsSunday interview: “Let Biden sit through an interview like this, he’ll be on the ground crying for mommy. He’ll say mommy, mommy, please take me home.”

Chris Wallace: “Can you give a direct answer you will accept the election?”
President Trump: “I have to see. No, I’m not going to just say yes.” @realDonaldTrump #FoxNewsSunday— FoxNewsSunday (@FoxNewsSunday) July 19, 2020
Chris Wallace told Trump that the military is in favor of (either the defense spending bill or renaming bases named for Confederates – it wasn’t exactly clear in the transcript).
Trump: “I don’t care what the military says. I do – I’m supposed to make the decision.”

Chris Wallace pushes back on Trump’s inaccurate claim that if there was less testing there would be fewer cases. “Testing is up 37 percent.” Trump: “Well, that’s good.” Wallace: “Cases are up 194 percent. It isn’t just that testing has gone up, it’s that the virus has spread.”

Yea, this Chris Wallace interview is insane, and yea, Trump is utterly unfit, but I’m watching it and thinking that I can’t wait to have a President who doesn’t tell us on national TV that he’s a genius because he can identify an elephant. Or a camel. Or count backwards from 100.

Chris Wallace cut away from Trump claims to narrate: “The White House never sent us evidence the Bernie-Biden platform calls for defunding or abolishing the police — because there is none.”
