Notably, Trump refused to disavow QAnon, claiming he knew nothing about the rightwing conspiracy theory group except that “they are very much against pedophiliaâ€.
“I just don’t know about QAnon,†Trump said.
“You do know,†Guthrie shot back.
“I don’t know,†he said again.
Just days before, Trump tweeted a false claim by the group that alleged Barack Obama fabricated the killing of Osama bin Laden, prompting a rebuke from a member of the Seal Team Six that participated in the mission.
Asked why he had elevated this conspiracy theory, Trump downplayed any responsibility, insisting that he was simply sharing “an opinion of somebodyâ€.
“You’re the president!†Guthrie exclaimed. “You’re not, like, someone’s crazy uncle who can retweet whatever.â€
In another contentious exchange, Trump appeared to confirm a New York Times investigation that revealed he is $421m in debt, saying: “When you look at vast properties like I have ... the amount of money, $400m, is a peanut.†He added: “Not a big deal.â€
Yup Trump is indeed like the crazy uncle and not a president! hahahaaha
