It looks like we had some big-time Fox on Fox crime today, and sadly it comes on quite an important matter since this was the first live television interview Trump has given since the election. The problem was, Trump gave it to Maria Bartiromo who will not disagree with Trump, ever.

Trump was at his most crazed and conspiratorial. He attacked the Republican party and allies generally for not supporting his effort enough, he kicked in a few wild conspiracy theories for which there is absolutely no evidence but mostly just pushed his false assertion that the whole “election thing” on November 3rd (this is November 29th mind you) was all “Fake!”

Bartiromo sat there and watched the entire psychotic breakdown and took Trump’s side on damn near everything, ultimately agreeing with Trump’s arguments and not challenging a single insane assertion.

It was a real bad look for Fox News.

But later in the day, Eric Shawn gave a blistering review of the facts asserted that morning, basically kicking them in the drain and down to Pennywise. Shawn first noted that the Trump campaign hasn’t been able to prove any of this stuff, making it nothing but a story told on Fox.

It was at that point that Shawn dropped the hammer:

“In fact, your government, election officials, experts and others — many of them Republican, including Trump appointed officials — say that the president’s claims are false and unsubstantiated.”

Sean brought in Axios reporter Hans Nichols and the two of them tag-teamed each asserted fact, going down the list and tossing them aside like dog treats to German Shepards. They specifically went after Baritiromo’s statement that it was “disgusting” that people believe that Biden received 15 million more votes than Barack Obama

One of Trump’s claims — which Maria Bartiromo said was “disgusting” — held that Joe Biden could not have possibly received more votes than former President Barack Obama (he did).

“It seems that we have a president who, he can’t wrap his brain or mind around the fact, he can’t process that someone who he thinks is so inferior to him won the election,” Shawn remarked.

Well, we can’t hold that against Biden since Trump sees everyone as inferior to him. But it is true that his inability to accept the loss does seem to be a narcissistic injury that Trump just cannot get over and will likely say it for the rest of his life – “I won that election.”

No, you didn’t. But we cannot control what you think and never have.
